Does Aussietravelcover travel insurance have COVID-19 coverage?

Read the PDS for the full story on what you can claim and when.

What other optional extras can I add to my Aussietravelcover policy?

Cruise pack

If you’re travelling on a cruise ship, then you’ll need to purchase cruise travel insurance on top of your policy. If you do not get this optional extra, then any claims related to any part of your journey on a cruise ship will not be covered. This includes domestic cruises on Australian waters.

Snow pack 

Snow travel insurance is important if you’re hitting the slopes, and without it, you may not be covered for any claims relating to snow sports. Aussietravelcover’s snow sports pack covers a variety of snow sports, many of which require licensed tour operators to accompany you.

Motorcycle pack

If you’re planning on hiring a motorcycle, moped, mountain bike, or scooter on your trip, then you’ll need to pay an extra premium in order to be covered for any claims relating to your time on two wheels.

Are pre-existing medical conditions covered under Aussietravelcover’s travel insurance?

Aussietravelcover includes cover for some pre-existing medical conditions. You will only be covered if your pre-existing condition is listed on your certificate of insurance or on the PDS provided you meet eligibility criteria, so make sure you disclose any conditions that you do have at the time of applying. 

With some of these medical conditions, there are additional criteria that you have to meet in order to be covered. Read through the PDS to find any details which are relevant to you. 

To apply for coverage of your pre-existing medical condition, contact Aussietravelcover’s medical assessment team at 1800 888 448. 

What do I do if there’s an emergency during my trip?

You can cancel your policy and may receive a full refund within 21 days of purchasing it, provided you haven’t started your journey or intend to make a claim. If you want to cancel after the 21-day cooling-off period, then you won’t receive a refund of your premium.

Overall rating   7 / 10

Not the worst but maybe not for the best.

No immediate offer of help when overseas but great potential to claim back at a later point so it's good overall but in an emergency not so great.
