What additional options does Kogan offer?
If you're looking for a little extra cover, you have a few additional benefits to choose from:
Winter sports
For an additional premium, you can choose the winter sports add-on, which will provide you with cover for recreational skiing and snowboarding, tobogganing and even off-piste skiing with a professional snow sport instructor.
Specified luggage and personal effects
For an additional premium, you can choose to take out additional cover up to $5,000 for high-value items.
$0 excess
If you don't want to pay an excess in the event that you need to make a claim, you can choose to remove the $200 excess by paying an additional $25 on top of the standard premium.
Does Kogan Travel Insurance cover pre-existing conditions?
Travel insurance is designed to provide you with cover in unexpected circumstances, which is why cover for pre-existing conditions is a contentious issue. However, Kogan Travel Insurance includes cover for 43 pre-existing medical conditions, provided that you have not been hospitalised within the last 24 months.
Conditions covered include asthma, cataracts and osteoporosis. Other more serious conditions such as both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol are also covered, albeit with several caveats. Please read the product disclosure statement (PDS) for the full details.
Can you get covered for sporting activities?
Yes! Kogan offers cover for a range of sports and leisure activities and claims to cover most sports. However, you will not be covered for your participation in sports activities such as:
- Bobsleighing
- Cross-country skiing outside of a designated cross-country ski route
- Free climbing
- Freestyle skiing/snowboarding
- Hang-gliding or paragliding
- Hunting
- Mountaineering or rock climbing using ropes
- Off-piste skiing/snowboarding without a professional snow sport instructor/guide
- Open water sailing

Do you cover US Citizens? I will be traveling to Bali for 1 week then Australia for remainder of 3 month period. Can you provide medical dental hospital coverage in both countries for this trip?
Hi Yvonne,
Thank you for getting in touch with finder.
Kogan Travel Insurance includes cover for overseas hospital, medical, surgical, nursing, ambulance and emergency dental expenses. A non-Australian citizen like a US citizen can be covered by Kogan Insurance if he has a home in Australia and holds a current Australian 457 Visa which will remain valid beyond the period of the trip. Also, the traveller must be not older than 74 years old at the time of purchasing the policy. Lastly, the trip commences and ends in Australia, therefore the traveller must have a return ticket to Australia.
I hope this helps.
Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any other enquiries.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Jeni
