    Best Travel Insurance

    What is the best travel insurance? 

    Finding what is the best travel insurance for you should perhaps be rephrased as ‘what is the most suitable travel insurance based on my trip details?’ While there are many awards given to different travel insurance providers based on product features and services which could be described as ‘best travel insurance in a particular field’, best is synonymous with suitability for your trip. 

    General Information & Choosing the Right Policy

    • Understanding Your Travel Insurance Needs: Travel insurance isn't one-size-fits-all. Your needs depend on factors like your destination, trip duration, planned activities (snow sports, cruise, etc.), age, and health (pre-existing medical conditions).

    Types of Travel Insurance Policies:

    • Single Trip: Covers a single trip for a specified duration. Single trip policies include Medical Only, Essentials, and Comprehensive. 
    • Annual Multi-Trip: Covers multiple trips within a year, usually with a maximum trip length. Annual Multi-Trip can be tailored based on the benefits available under single trip i.e. Medical Only Annual Multi-Trip, Essentials Annual Multi-Trip, and Comprehensive Annual Multi-Trip.  
    • Medical Only: Focuses on overseas medical expenses and emergency assistance.
    • Comprehensive: Includes medical coverage plus trip cancellation, baggage loss, and other benefits.
    Best Travel Insurance

    Key Factors to Consider When Choosing Travel Insurance:

    • Age: The age of the traveller may affect policy premium, as well as if there are any declared pre-existing medical conditions.
    • Destination: Some destinations have higher medical costs or require specific coverage.
    • Activities: Adventure activities like scuba diving have specific limitations. Snow sports cover is an optional extra for an additional premium. 
    • Pre-existing Medical Conditions: Disclose any conditions to make sure they are covered. Terms and conditions apply. 

    How Much Travel Insurance Do You Need?:

    Coverage limits vary. Choose limits that adequately cover potential medical costs, trip cancellation expenses, and the value of your belongings.
     

    What to look for in a Travel Insurance Policy:

    • Benefits: Understand what's covered, including medical, cancellation, baggage, and other key areas.
    • Exclusions: Be aware of what's not covered, such as pre-existing conditions or high-risk activities and ‘Do Not Travel’ destinations. 
    • Claim Process: Please complete your claim onllive by visiting the claims page.

    Common Travel Insurance Misconceptions:

    • "I have health insurance, so I don't need travel insurance." Private health insurance does not cover medical overseas. Likewise, Medicare does not cover cruising around Australian waters. 
    • "Travel insurance is too expensive." The cost of travel insurance is often minimal compared to the potential financial losses of an unforeseen event. Depending on your trip details, travel insurance may be affordable compared to the cost of overseas medical expenses incurred while travelling. 

    Best Time to Buy Travel Insurance:

    The right time to buy travel insurance depends on your trip details. Some travellers may choose to buy travel insurance after they have outlaid funds on prepaid travel arrangements such as flights or accommodation. The best time to buy travel insurance depends on the traveller and their travel plans.  

    Specific Travel Needs & Situations:

    • Travel Insurance for Families: The travel insurance products available from TIS include cover for children who are travelling with their parents. 
    • Travel Insurance for Seniors: Medical Only coverage for Australian senior travellers is available from us. 
    • Travel Insurance with Pre-existing Medical Conditions: Some pre-existing medical conditions are automatically covered, refer to PDS or contact us to discuss. If your pre-existing medical condition is not automatically covered you may need to conduct a medical screening through Travel Insurance Saver to detremine if you can have your pre-existing medical condition approved.
    • Travel Insurance for Adventure Activities: Choose policies with optional coverage for specific activities like skiing, scuba diving, or hiking. 
    • Travel Insurance for Cruises: Look for policies with cruise-specific benefits like missed port coverage or cabin confinement.
    • Travel Insurance for Backpackers: Consider long-term or multi-trip policies with coverage for baggage, theft, and medical expenses.
    • Domestic vs. International Travel Insurance: Domestic policies typically focus on medical coverage, while international policies offer broader benefits like trip cancellation and baggage loss.

    Cost & Value:

    • Finding Affordable Travel Insurance That Meets Your Needs: Compare quotes from different providers, consider online-only policies, and adjust coverage levels to find a balance of cost and value.
