Cheap Travel Insurance Australia
You are planning a trip with your family and want it to be the best ‘together time’ you have ever experienced. One of the major aspects to include when planning your dream holiday, is cheap travel insurance, Australia wide or to any worldwide destination - to limit the repercussions should anything go wrong.
We advise you to think carefully before purchasing cheap travel insurance from your travel agent when you book. Even though more than 90% of Australians buy travel insurance from tour operators or travel agents, when you do a comparison you’ll quickly realise it is far from being the cheapest travel insurance, or the most comprehensive and reliable, available.
There is also the risk your tour operator may cease to function and you will also lose your travel insurance policy. This is another strong point in favour of purchasing comprehensive holiday medical cover from the travel insurer direct.
When comparing insurance quotes, always be sure to read what is often called ‘the fine print’. In reality, there shouldn’t be any. Full details should be clearly laid out in all policy documents, or you should feel free to contact the company for clarification. Some aspects to look out for, especially with what appears to be very cheap cover, is payment of a high excess in case of a claim, activities that may or may not be included, pre existing medical conditions, and whether emergency hospital, medical and dental and evacuation claims are capped or unlimited. Given the cost of hospital care and medical evacuation from the UK, Europe and the USA, this last point is vital.
When travelling internationally, always confirm the status of your destination with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) on their smarttraveller.gov.au web site. DFAT is well equipped with complete travel related dos and don'ts, backpacker and general advice and information.
