If You’re Unsure About
Travel Accident Insurance – Keep Reading

As incredible as it seems, with all the warnings in place statistics indicate a significant number of travellers still take off on their overseas holidays, backpacking adventure, work or gap year experience, or business travel without travel accident insurance.

With medical evacuation back to Australia in the high tens of thousands of dollars, even well over $100,000 in some instances, and hospital expenses in many countries at around $800 or more a day, who but a Walton or a Mars could afford not to be protected by travel accident insurance?

On the smartraveler.gov.au web site you can read the true story of man who was injured in a vehicle accident in Bangkok. Because he had no travel accident insurance, he had no choice of hospital and was admitted to a hospital which was unable to treat his badly broken leg and did nothing but clean the wound. After three weeks his distressed wife sought assistance from the Australian Embassy who arranged medical evacuation. The expensive cost of evacuation was paid in full by the man’s family.

On the flip side – there’s the real life account of five Australians who were injured in a mini-van accident in Bali. All were covered by travel accident insurance which paid their hospital expenses and medical evacuation back to Australia with no ‘financial’ strain on their families.

Is the first scenario really a situation you want to risk when it is so avoidable with low-cost, fully comprehensive travel insurance?
