    Perfect timing. Worked on the annual policy for me.

  • tmcn85 on 23/01/2024 - 10:01

    Just don't consume alcohol on your holiday to make sure you're still covered..

      The PDS for this product states:

      20.claims involving, arising from or related to Your
      impairment due to You drinking too much alcohol:
      a) which is evidenced by the results of a blood test
      which show that Your blood alcohol concentration
      level is 0.19% or above. (The level of alcohol in Your
      blood is called blood alcohol concentration (BAC). As
      a point of reference, a BAC of 0.19% is almost four
      times the legal driving BAC limit range in Australia
      which is currently 0.05%)

        To me it seems to be a pretty reasonable policy wording compared to some other policies I've seen

      That's going to be hard…. I always love a drink when overseas.

      Insurance isn't about the premium, but whether they will weasel out of any claim at the earliest opportunity they can.

      No point getting a cheap policy if they don't pay out. Likewise, no point to pay for premium if they are going to take the budget option.

      • gadgetguy on 23/01/2024 - 10:52

        100% - having claimed through them I'm happy to pay more on the premium versus unknown providers.

          Ive made succesful claims with 2 other places half the price. I guess everyone's idea of a bargain is different. Glad you got your claim sorted atleast

        Insurance in Australia is very consumer friendly. Provided you are actually entitled to cover and the cover is sufficient, and you have your “receipts”, if the claims handler is not approving your claim, just make a claim with AFCA and they will advocate for you on your behalf for a flat filing fee of about $50.

      • mitcheo on 23/01/2024 - 15:37

        I understand, this place is almost double after the discount, Ive made claims before

    • Seaword on 23/01/2024 - 11:15

      Worth it when it comes time to claim, support and payout is worth it.

  • Citrus00 on 23/01/2024 - 10:23

    After apply promo codes, the premium is far more costly than other insurance providers.
    Please shop around.

  • Pab23q on 23/01/2024 - 10:29

    Hypothetical:

    If cyclone kirrily smashes North Queensland this Thursday - and - 'Billy' has a holiday booked for that location flying out the day after on Friday.

    Can Billy buy domestic insurance today and be covered for any cancellations that happen due to cyclone kirrily?

    Billy booked this holiday last year.

    Just a hypothetical :)

    • AshFon on 23/01/2024 - 10:37

      I am not the legal expert but I would have though yes, Billy would be cover in this case.

    • Gorodemon on 23/01/2024 - 11:21
      +5

      I would've thought that even if Billy had booked his trip prior to the cyclone event, he won't be covered if he purchased the policy today because it's a known event now. The probability of the event to occur is almost a certainty, therefore insurance will refuse to cover.

    • stewy on 24/01/2024 - 10:32

      Read the PDS, but I concur with the above poster that possibly not covered as it's now a known event that's likely to occur prior to purchase of the insurance.

  • mangobango on 23/01/2024 - 10:30

    Tick Travel Insurance has an ongoing 10% off with code 'finder', the quote I got from them is quite a bit cheaper than this one.

    • Tafe on 23/01/2024 - 11:41

      Was $200 vs $60 for me. Huge.

    • braddsey on 23/01/2024 - 12:48

      We had Tick travel insurance for a recent trip. They just paid out $499 for broken iphone screen replacement that occurred on the trip. No challenge, very happy.

      (My wife did spend about 2 hours collecting all the documents for the claim - but effort well spent).

      • gstfree on 26/01/2024 - 22:09

        What documents were required by Tick? Last time I claimed broken screen from credit card insurance, they asked me photos and quotation for the repair.

        • braddsey on 31/01/2024 - 06:10

          My wife filled in the claim, but they needed proof of travel (ticket with itinerary), quote for repair (from apple), invoice for repair. Maybe other stuff, i don’t know.

    • mitcheo on 23/01/2024 - 15:43

      Tick has well over doubled in price for me this time.. it costs around this much now

  • SickDmith on 23/01/2024 - 10:39

        I claimed recently on the free version of Cover-More included with my Commonwealth card. No dramas at all and their medical assistance line (you talk to a paramedic) was amazing.

        I'm buying an annual policy with them directly now as the free version was reducing cover, increasing the excess and adding requirements to purchase part of the trip with the card.

  • mstlx on 23/01/2024 - 10:44

    Worldcare is the go-to for me, although have not made a claim from them either (thankfully).

    For anyone heading to Europe starting off in Poland, Slovakia, Hungary or Czechia, looking for a much cheaper (yet safe) option to be covered in the EU (and Switzerland), I strongly recommend Axa Foreigner's Health Insurance (just google it). It's a reputable European Insurance comapny. It works out roughly 22 Euros a month, although there are a little pricier options too. It covers almost all private/public clinics. The customer service is nothing but great. They will happily prepay and organise a doctor appointment at a fancy private clinic. If required, you will be brought back to AU for further treatment. I used them in 2022 (8 months) and in 2023 (4 months), lodged around 10 claims in total (bad luck), especially in 2023 and all of them were approved and paid out, including all prescribed and related meds etc. The best part is that there is absolutely no excess involved. I even had my wisdom tooth pulled out in the NL and that was covered too. Overall, a much better experience than any other AU insurance company I ever dealt with.

    • WineGuzzler on 23/01/2024 - 12:09

      Great suggestion, however unfortunately not a viable option for shorter trips/holidays - unless I'm missing something. I tried a few different Axa sites and all stated "Please note: we do not offer cover for less than three months".

  • d3c619 on 23/01/2024 - 11:25

    Considering this just for cover on our rental vehicle in case of an accident.
    A lot cheaper than paying the rental companies daily charge for $0 excess.
    This or carhireexcess.com.au?

    • braddsey on 23/01/2024 - 13:19
      +1

      Get a quote, choose the best policy for your needs. Consider tickinsurance.com.au.

      If you’re doing multiple car hires, then there may be better policies than carhireexcess. www.worldwideinsure.com have an annual multitrip car excess insurance. I use them as i use car share (popcar, goget etc).

  • renaldof on 23/01/2024 - 11:58

    Just FYI, some Commonwealth credit cards provide its "free" travel insurance using Cover More

  • gstfree on 23/01/2024 - 12:17

    Is Insureandgo backed by the same insurer as Cover-more?

  • AuQld on 23/01/2024 - 12:37

    The only reason I have a credit card, travel and car rental insurance is free for you and your family. Saves me 1000$ per year at least, and it's through cover more.

    • PhilToinby on 23/01/2024 - 13:53

      Just don't use the credit card with 'free insurance' for any international transactions. I 'accidentally' paid $10k in international airfares with my Citibank card and was charged ~$300 in foreign currency fees. 28Degress or UBank wouldn't have charged anything for the same transaction

      • AuQld on 23/01/2024 - 15:42

        Nah, Citibank was awesome, but moved to Wise since their decline, Ing isn't too bad and refund the fees if you jump through a few hoops.

  • WhatWouldBiggieDo on 23/01/2024 - 13:15

    Covermore is one of the most expensive insurance products. The reason it is so popular is because it's sold by travel agents and in particular Flight Centre, who love selling it as Covemore pay them large commissions, sometimes 40% of the policy amount or more. With that said, it's a good product.

    Personally, I only ever use Southern Cross Travel insurance, who offer competitive rates, but most importantly have paid out on the 2 occasions that I have lodged claims.

  • thiftmate on 23/01/2024 - 13:49

    The policy says " $5,000 Rental Vehicle Insurance Excess" would be covered. Would it include campervan/motorhome as well? or just the car hire?

    • d3c619 on 23/01/2024 - 14:27
      +1

      “Rental Vehicle” means a campervan/motorhome/caravan that does not exceed 6 tonnes, SUV, sedan, station wagon, hatchback, people mover, coupe, convertible, four-wheel drive or mini bus rented from a licensed motor vehicle rental company, Car Club Company or agency.

      I am looking at a policy to cover car hire excess of $5000, a lot cheaper than paying the $40 a day quoted from the rental company.

    • braddsey on 23/01/2024 - 14:45

      You probably need a specific policy for campervan/motorhome (read the PDC - depends on size of the van).

      https://carinsurent.com/ have a specific motorhome policy. I’ve used them before, had no trouble getting them to pay out for a replacement tyre when we got a screw through the tyre wall (with a car hired via ubercarshare).
      Tyres and windscreen are typically not covered by car hire company default insurance.

  • StaticzAvenger on 23/01/2024 - 13:59

    Flown overseas a bunch of times but have never used travel insurance, how fast does it take for them to payout if something does go wrong?

    • braddsey on 23/01/2024 - 14:52

      That probably depends on your claim, and how diligent you are in following their requirements. Always read the PDC in detail before making a claim, so you know how to frame your incident to fit the policy. Anytime you claim anything as lost/stolen you need a report, vehicle accident etc. (police report or lost baggage report with the airline, even photos).

      I’ve never had to claim medical so can’t advise… but again if you need to make a medical claim get someone you trust to read through the PDC in detail who can advise you on what is required. It’s much more difficult to gather evidence weeks/months after the event from a different country.

      • StaticzAvenger on 23/01/2024 - 15:15

        I see, so something like a dropped or damaged phone wouldn't be too hard to claim if that did happen? that's probably my only fear when travelling is damaging or somehow losing my phone.

        • braddsey on 23/01/2024 - 17:42

          We claimed this exact item via Tick Insurance this week. Our claim was approved based on the phone being in hand luggage and another bag being jammed into to overhead locker.
          There is nothing in their PDC about how the damage occurs.
          We had the phone repaired for $499, they have honoured the claim for $499. We also paid additional for no excess (about $50ish dollars).

          If you lose your phone, you’ll need a police report, or airline report.

          • StaticzAvenger on 23/01/2024 - 18:56

            @braddsey: Awesome.
            Sounds painless, how long did it take for you to get the money once it was approved?

  • perfectlydark on 24/01/2024 - 08:14

    Do any insurers cover war? like hypothetically travel to SK, but Kim gets antsy and kicks off round 2 preventing you from going, would that be covered?

  • adrenalinerush on 24/01/2024 - 14:59

    Anyone have any suggestions for Ski (on piste) travel insurance… cover more was about $1k for my husband and I!
