Free travel insurance often has limitations.
For example I travel for periods of 70-89 days. Most free travel insurance won't cover a trip of that length.
The free travel insurance is good, but it doesn't always meet the needs of all travellers. Read the terms and conditions of it closely before you rely on it.
Credit card insurances may not be for everyone. Exclusions such as snow sports sometimes apply, and included pre-exisiting conditions also vary from cover to cover
Good point on the pre-existing conditions…
Which credit card do the best free insurance? I only have 28 degrees card.
These credit card insurances don't cover everything or everyone that is travelling, only the person on the card is covered. Also if you had to go to the hospital. What are you going to do? show them your credit card? they need a policy number. Some of my friends had their credit card insurance refused in hospitals.
Most credit cards will also cover your spouse. CBA insurance is now with Allianz and when you register a trip you get a certificate of insurance and policy number like when you buy a policy.
There are still limitations though compared to other policies so do your research.
the real ozbargainer buys no insurance and saves 70 dollars or so per trip, YOLO
you live once, let's hope you don't have family and/or dependents otherwise you're quite selfish. because once something happens to you, even with death, someone has to take over your liabilities
Doesn't make sense to me. $70 to save potentially thousands is a bet I'd take.
Yolo indeed.
It probably depends on the locations you go but the cheapest they just quoted me was $100 more, with much less cover, than what I am about to pay. That was with the 'discount'.
I generally buy the annual multi-trip policies. For cover for >60 day trips their price without discount is already good.
has anyone ever had to claim using this company?
Back story:
My olds recently came back from Europe and used Allianz travel insurance, and one leg of their flight was delayed and they basically had to forfeit train tickets and a night of hotel - wasnt cheap. They tried to claim, spent hours getting all the paperwork and receipts together and were told no dice. They then asked what would've have to have happened in order to have made a successful claim - Allianz responded saying it would have had to have been a terrorist attack at the airport or a cyclone…. wow, just wow
Travelinsurance.com.au resell policies underwritten by other insurers like QBE…
^^^It appears that travelinsurance.com.au is not a provider of insurance - it is merely a reseller or referrer. A bit like iSelect I suspect.
And from my quick search their policies are not blowing me away with value.
are there still people out there who buy travel insurance?
Surely Ozbargainers are buying their holidays on certain credit cards to get free travel insurance?
