What other optional extras can I add to my Freely policy?
If you want to tailor your coverage and opt for extra inclusions for the entirety of your overseas trip, then you can choose from Freely’s Boosts for some extra cover, at an extra premium.
Freely also offers pay-per-day Boosts, which you can add on at any time for an extra charge. It’s a flexible option for certain types of cover which you might only need for one day at a time.
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 claims or activities.
Always be sure to check out the PDS to find details regarding limits on cover amounts and general exclusions.
Snow sports cover
Snow insurance cover is vital if you’re hitting the ski fields. Without it, you won’t be covered for any claims related to skiing, snowboarding, or snowmobiling. Freely offers a snow insurance cover Boost (at an additional premium).
Cruise cover
If you are travelling for two or more nights on a cruise ship, then you may need cruise travel insurance for any coverage related to that portion of your journey.
Adventure activities cover
With Freely, there are many activities automatically included across all policy plans. But for those who are a little more adventurous, some activities require you to purchase the Adventure Activities and Adventure Activities+ optional add-ons.
If you’re planning on participating in adventure activities, then you may want to add this optional extra to your Freely policy. But note, if you’re engaging in these activities in a professional capacity, you may not receive the benefits of your policy on any claims you make.
If you think you might be participating in an activity that is particularly risky, then it’s always best to double-check the PDS, in case your activity isn’t covered, or if there are conditions.
Motorcycle and moped riding cover
If you plan on riding a motorcycle or moped on your trip, then purchasing extra cover for these activities can cover you in case something goes wrong.
Rental vehicle excess
If you’re renting a vehicle on your overseas trip, then you might want to get cover for rental vehicle excess, in case you have an accident on the road.
Does Freely travel insurance have COVID-19 coverage?
Freely does cover some COVID-19-related claims. Always read the PDS to make sure you understand what circumstances are required to receive your cover level’s benefits.
Are pre-existing medical conditions covered under Freely travel insurance?
Freely provides cover for travelling with pre-existing conditions. Some pre-existing conditions are automatically covered under Freely’s policies, but they may have additional criteria relating to your eligibility for coverage.
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 contact Freely through the app, or by calling them.
What do I do if there’s an emergency during my trip?
If there’s an emergency during your overseas trip, call Freely 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. Freely’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.
