    Travel Insurance when traveling in Australia - What You Need to Know

Being an island and a continent, this large country offers some of the finest beaches, flora, and wildlife in the world. Millions of people travel domestically within Australia each year, from state to state, there is a lot you can see and do.

If you want to find out about these two travel plans, enter your trip details into the quote panel and click ‘get a quote’. 

    Domestic Travel Insurance

    Domestic Travel Insurance:

    There are a range of travel insurance policies available online. Domestic travel plans generally provide coverage for Cancellation and Additional Expenses, though some plans, like the Australian Travel Plan, list other benefits as well as Cancellation and Additional Expenses. 

    There are two single trip domestic plans available through Travel Insurance Saver which provide cover for trips within Australia (‘Australia’ set as sole destination). They are the Australian Cancellation and Additional Expenses Plan, and the Australian Travel Plan, depending on your trip details. 

    The Annual Multi Trip Plan is also available for domestic and international travel. On the quote panel, click on Annual Multi Trip in the Options and More Information for further information. Each trip must:

    Why travel within Australia? 

    Domestic Travel Insurance
    Most tourists visit the South-Eastern Coast and Eastern Coast of Australia, as they are the most heavily and densely populated regions of Australia.
    This doesn’t mean the rest of the country doesn’t have a lot to offer, meaning you’ll have more choice when planning your next domestic trip.
     
    The following summary lists some of the benefits that may be available for certain claimable events under the applicable travel plan(s) depending on your trip details, subject to limits and sub-limits: 
    • Rental Vehicle Insurance Excess (Australian Travel Plan).
    • Cancellation or holiday deferment (Australian Cancellation and Additional Expenses Plan & Australian Travel Plan).
    • Luggage (Australian Travel Plan).
    • Medical Evacuation (Australian Travel Plan)
    Cover is subject to the policy terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions set out in the current Combined Financial Services Guide and Product Disclosure Statement (PDS). Read the (PDS) prior to choosing a travel insurance policy.
