How am I protected?

  • You're covered from the date you bought your travel policy, so if you have to cancel or change your trip because of an unexpected event, you’ll be covered.

  • Prior to your departure you can also adapt your policy with additional cover options to suit. If you add our Excess Waiver option to your policy, you won’t have to pay excess on any claims you make. Extra cover is also available for valuables such as laptops, cameras, watches and jewellery.

  • If you are travelling for an extended period you can even purchase cover for up to 365 days. Just let us know before you leave.
