Terms, conditions, exclusions, limits and sub-limits may apply to any of the insurance products shown on the Mozo website. These terms, conditions, exclusions, limits and sub-limits could affect the level of benefits and cover available under any of the insurance products shown on the Mozo website. Please refer to the relevant Product Disclosure Statement and the Target Market Determination on the provider's website for further information before making any decisions about an insurance product.

Any information provided on this page should be considered a summary and general advice only. All information should be verified before purchase via the relevant Product Disclosure Statement (PDS).


Does Cover-More travel insurance have COVID-19 coverage? 

Cover-More does cover some COVID-19-related claims, but limits and exclusions will apply depending on your trip and needs. Always read the PDS to make sure you understand what circumstances are required to receive your cover level’s benefits. 

What optional extras can I add to my Cover-More policy?

There are a few optional extras you can add to your Cover-More travel insurance policy if you need to tailor your package to the kind of holiday or trip you’re going on. These include snow sports, cruise, adventure activities, motorcycle and moped riding, and business trip coverage options.

These add-ons will increase the premium you pay, but without them, you may not be covered for anything that happens related to these sorts of activities. Always be sure to check out the PDS to find details regarding limits on cover amounts and general exclusions. 

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

Cover-More provides cover for travelling with pre-existing conditions, however, they must be approved after completing a medical health assessment. 

If your pre-existing condition isn’t listed among the automatically covered ones, then you may still be able to apply to cover them. This includes automatically included conditions for which you do not meet the eligibility requirements. To get your pre-existing condition covered, you can complete an online health assessment through Cover-More.

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

If there’s an emergency during your overseas trip, call Cover-More on their emergency assistance line. Depending on where you’re calling from, the number will vary. See below for the numbers you can call, toll-free. 

The emergency assistance line is available 24/7 if you need it. Cover-More’s team will be able to help you out with things like finding medical facilities and emergency hospital expenses, among other things. When you call, make sure you have your policy number and a phone number that they can call you back on if need be.

How do I make a claim with Cover-More travel insurance? 

You can submit your claim online at claims.covermore.com.au . To register a claim with Cover-More, you will need to have all the relevant documentation to support your claims, like receipts for valuables, or invoices from hospitals and doctors if you incurred medical costs.

Follow the prompts and complete the checklist, then upload your scanned documents to their claims portal.

I have insured twice with Covermore, claiming each time. Covermore rejected both claims, in the first claim, Covermore requested my medical records from my GP and deliberately misinterpreted it, citing incorrect dates, times and diagnoses. I appealed their decision and won. My second claim was also rejected, Covermore failed to address part of my claim. i submitted an appeal to their decision, however, Covermore refused any to acknowledge my appeal forcing me to seek assistance from the AFCA ombudsman. AfterAFCA intervened Covermore accepted my claim them attempted to silence me by asking me to sign a Deed of Release acknowledging that I would not seek assistance from the AFCA again and keep the claim confidential. I refused.

We travelled to Japan and had Covermore Travel insurance, we took out the Premium plus cover and we had to make a claim for loss of income with an injury, Covermore insurance is an absolute joke to deal with, they find there way around any claim and quickly decide to start misunderstanding the conversation so you have to go over and over and over, I would not reccommend Covermore insurance to anyone who thinks they would actually get the cover they are paying for. A total Joke

Pros: One of the things I appreciated about Cover-More travel insurance was the variety of coverage options they offered. As a young traveler, I wasn't sure what I needed to be covered for, but Cover-More's website made it easy to select the policy that best fit my needs. I was able to choose a policy that covered medical expenses, trip cancellations, lost luggage, and other unexpected events. This gave me peace of mind knowing that I was protected in case anything went wrong. Another positive aspect of Cover-More was the purchasing process. I was able to buy my policy online, which was quick and easy. I received my policy documents via email within minutes, which was especially helpful as a busy student preparing for a trip. The website was also informative and easy to navigate, which made it easy to understand my coverage options. Finally, I appreciated the added benefits that came with my policy. The 24/7 helpline was especially reassuring, as I knew that I could get help in case of an emergency. I also liked the emergency assistance option, which gave me peace of mind knowing that I would be taken care of if something went wrong. Cons: Unfortunately, my experience with Cover-More travel insurance wasn't entirely positive. Firstly, I found their customer service to be lacking. When I had a question about my policy, it was difficult to get in touch with someone. I had to wait on hold for a while before I was able to speak to someone, which was frustrating. Secondly, I had a disappointing experience with the claims process. I had to make a claim for lost luggage, and the process was slow and confusing. It felt like they didn't believe me, and it took several weeks for my claim to be processed. This was a stressful experience, and it left me feeling like I wasn't being taken seriously. Overall, I'd rate my experience with Cover-More travel insurance a 6 out of 10. While the policy options and purchasing process were good, the poor customer service and slow claims process left a bad taste in my mouth. If I were to travel again, I'd likely consider other insurance providers first. In conclusion, Cover-More travel insurance is a decent option for travelers looking for coverage. However, there are areas for improvement, particularly when it comes to customer service and the claims process. As an 18-year-old traveler to Bali, I learned that it's important to do your research and choose an insurance provider that best fits your needs. While Cover-More wasn't perfect, it did provide me with some peace of mind knowing that I was covered in case anything unexpected happened.
