Journey Insurance Is Easy to Buy - Vital to Have

Don’t be one of those travellers who think they can do without journey insurance only to be left financially and personally stranded.

International Journey Insurance

With the exceptionally high – and growing – costs for medical treatment around the world, as well as the increasing uncertainty of travel, taking out travellers insurance is a no brainer.

It’s difficult to measure the peace of mind and financial security provided by a travel insurance policy which provides 24/7 contact, response and advice in medical or accident emergencies, and vital financial back-up if your itinerary is thrown into turmoil causing you to miss flights and accommodation bookings, your luggage lost, your passport stolen or the myriad of other instances that can – and occasionally do – happen when we travel.

Overseas travellers cover should always include unlimited emergency medical evacuation from a leading emergency response organisation, plus unlimited medical and hospital cover as not negotiable core items.

Cheap Medical Only cover provides protection for these vital aspects, as well as Personal Liability, if you’re in a financial position to carry the expense if any other mishap, such as theft or travel delay, occurs.

Domestic Journey Insurance

Many travellers never think of purchasing journey cover when holidaying or travelling within Australia, yet plans do still go haywire and important items are lost or stolen.

Great cover to have, unless you are free-wheeling, is to protect against cancelled accommodation, trips, tours and cruises, performances and more whether you have paid in full or laid down a substantial deposit. Remember to take this policy out from the time you book and pay.

Cover should also include personal liability, travel delay, additional expenses if you’re laid up sick or injured and accidental death. Rental vehicle excess may also be included and can be substantially cheaper than through the rental company.
