Trip Definition
In the case of the Comprehensive, Essentials and Bare Essentials Plans: it means travel during the period between the departure date and the return date listed on your Certificate of Insurance. The trip must start and/or end at your home in Australia.
If you have an existing nib travel insurance policy that will end whilst you are travelling, and you buy a new policy before the period of insurance ends under your existing policy (at 11.59pm AET on the return date shown on your Certificate of Insurance), the waiting period will not apply to that new policy, provided that there is no gap between the periods of insurance.
Cover is subject to the policy terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions as set out in the Product Disclosure Statement. Always read the Product Disclosure Statement before making a decision about any travel insurance policy.
