Due to the ongoing coronavirus situation, 1Cover has temporarily ceased issuing new International Annual Travel Insurance policies. The good news is, we're selling single trip policies for international travel. Get a quote for your next Overseas Trip.
We are selling Domestic Frequent Traveller policies, so if you have a few domestic trips planned or travel Australia a lot, you can buy a domestic multi-trip policy to simplify your travel insurance.
You get cover for a year of travel in Australia, and you can pick a maximum duration limit for all your trips. The shorter your trips, the cheaper your policy.
Annual Travel Insurance is for frequent travellers. An annual travel insurance policy covers you for any number of international or domestic trips for a 12 month period. Annual policies aren't designed for long-term travel, but provide you with cover for multiple short term trips over the space of a year.
With an annual travel insurance policy, you won’t have to buy travel insurance for every trip, saving you time and potentially saving you money.
Annual travel insurance policies have different maximum trip duration limits, and you choose from three different options. Depending on which policy you choose, you’ll have a maximum number of days you can spend overseas per trip.
You also have the option of an annual domestic travel insurance policy or an annual overseas travel insurance policy. An overseas policy will cover you for both domestic and overseas trips.
Below is a summary of a few key benefits, which are all subject to the terms and conditions. All benefits listed below are subject to terms and conditions within the PDS.
Take as many trips as you want for 12 months and you'll be covered by your annual policy. See PDS for details.
Plans can change over a year and you may have to cancel or switch things around. We’ve got you covered for cancellation fees or lost deposits.
If you travel more than once a year, an annual policy may work out to be out to be the most cost-effective option for you.
Annual policies are available for both overseas and domestic travellers, so you won't pay more than you need to.
There are three annual policy types to choose from designed to suit different trip lengths, plus a range of optional extras.
If you take a lot of family holidays, add your kids and grandkids (ie. your dependants) to your annual policy for no additional cost. See the PDS for details.
Add your spouse or partner to your Annual/Frequent Traveller policy and ensure you're both covered on your trips through the year.
If you’re only going on multiple trips to one destination, then only pay for insurance to that region/area.
