Which Travel insurance policy which covers 100% cancellation for any reason?
Father in law who is 89 years old can possibly go at any time. We planned for 15 days trip to Korea and Japan in late March 2019. Can we have this insurance before paying the tours trip in full at the end of this month?
What is the premium for such a policy? our party is for 2, 59 and 60 years old.
Thanks for getting in touch with Finder. I hope all is well with you. I’m sorry to hear about your father-in-law.
As of this time, Cover-More starts offering cancel-for-any-reason travel insurance. They are one of the insurers who have clearly stated that they have a policy that allows you to cancel your trip for any reason. Aside from that, you can also check other insurers who might be able to provide you with the same coverage.
However, it is worth noting that most insurers cover trip cancellation due to a close relative’s illness or death. So, it is just a matter of confirming with your chosen insurer.
For this reason, what I can suggest is for you to compare travel insurers and get a quote. Once you found the right insurer, then you can directly get in touch with them and discuss your situation.
Regarding the premium, I can’t provide you an exact figure. However, you can use our quote engine to search for the type of cover you need and obtain an estimate of how much your policy may cost.
I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan and read any disclosure documents (such as any Target Market Determination (TMD) and/or Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)) issued by the provider before making a decision.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
