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 Go Insurance have COVID-19 coverage?

Go Insurance does cover claims related to contracting COVID-19, but limits and exclusions may apply. Your coverage will also depend on the needs of your trip and the circumstances of your illness, so it's vital to get across the terms and conditions in the PDS before signing up. 

What optional add-ons are available on a GO Insurance international travel insurance policy?

Go Insurance’s flexible optional extras provide cover for a wide range of potential overseas adventures, even for those specifically travelling for business. This includes snow sports, water sports, golf trips, and cruise holidays. You can choose to add any of these extras on top of the existing schedule of benefits across Go Insurance’s travel insurance range. 

What pre-existing medical conditions are covered? 

Pre-existing conditions will influence the premium you pay for travel insurance. But don’t let that sway you from travelling with a pre-existing condition, as cover can be simple enough to add. Besides, many travel insurance providers have automatic coverage for a wide variety of common pre-existing conditions. 

Make sure you check the PDS for details if you have a pre-existing condition, as there may be provisos that stop you from receiving automatic coverage. 

If you suffer from a pre-existing medical condition that is not automatically covered, you can still apply for coverage by contacting Go Insurance at 1300 819 888. You will have to complete a medical assessment to ensure that you’re fit to travel, and to ensure that your pre-existing medical condition is coverable by the provider. 

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

Go Insurance’s emergency assistance team is available 24/7. If you need to contact Go Insurance in an emergency, you can call them on +61 (0) 7 3481 9880. If you can’t call them, they can also be reached via email at sos@goinsurance.com.au

Go Insurance should be contacted as soon as possible in an emergency situation so that they know what’s going on and can help you out. For example, if you or someone in your group needs emergency medical assistance, then the provider can point you in the right direction of appropriate treatment. 

How do I make a claim with Go Insurance?

If you need to make a claim, you should notify Go Insurance as soon as possible. You can complete a claim by post, over the phone, via fax, or via email. 

Go Insurance’s contact details for claims are as follows:

To make a claim, first, notify Go Insurance of its nature. Then, collect your supporting documentation. For example, if your claim arises from a medical or hospital expense, then you will need a doctor's report and related invoices. 

If you are having trouble with obtaining these, then Go Insurance’s team are able to help you out, when possible. After you have all the necessary documentation supporting your claim, you can then send copies to Go Insurance via one of the aforementioned methods. Once your claim is assessed, you will be notified of its outcome.

Horrible customer service

Never again! They refused a legitimate claim because I didn't call them first and it was a medical emergency! Never again.

Good claim process

The claim process was made easy and the claims personnel were efficient and friendly. One will never know how good an insurer is until you have to make a claim. I have used Go Insurance on two occasions and have found them to be very good.

Great premium & great service

I like this insurer because I was not slugged an extra premium for disclosing an existing medical condition.
