✅ What personal travel insurance covers
- Overseas emergency medical — hospital, treatment and evacuation costs abroad
- Trip cancellation and curtailment — non-refundable costs if you cancel or cut short for a covered reason
- Baggage and personal effects — loss, theft or damage to luggage and belongings
- Travel delay — additional accommodation and meal costs from significant delays
- Personal liability — your legal liability if you injure someone or damage property while travelling
- Rental vehicle excess — the excess charged if you damage a hire car
⚠️ Common gaps in personal travel cover
- Pre-existing conditions not declared — failure to disclose can void the entire policy
- Adventure activities excluded — skiing, diving, motorsport and similar need specific cover
- Domestic travel — Medicare provides some cover but emergency evacuation and cancellation do not
- Electronic device sublimits — standard limits may be far below replacement cost of laptops and cameras
- Cancellation for non-listed reasons — policies only cover specific cancellation causes
How to choose personal travel cover
- 1) Destination — international vs domestic, high-cost countries require higher medical limits
- 2) Medical history — all pre-existing conditions must be declared honestly
- 3) Activities — adventure sports, diving, skiing require specific cover
- 4) Trip value — cancellation cover should match total non-refundable bookings
- 5) Duration — single trip vs annual multi-trip cover
Making a claim
- Call the insurer’s 24-hour emergency line immediately from overseas for medical emergencies
- Keep all receipts for medical treatment and additional expenses
- Report theft to local police and get a report number
- Notify of cancellation claims before departure if possible
Who this suits
- Individuals and families travelling domestically or internationally
- Retirees and grey nomads needing medical cover
- Frequent travellers who benefit from annual multi-trip cover
Renewal checklist
- Declare all pre-existing medical conditions
- Check planned activities are covered
- Take out cover before you depart — cover cannot start after departure
- Carry the insurer’s emergency contact number at all times

❓ Common questions
Here are questions we are commonly asked about personal travel insurance by clients across the Granite Belt and New England.
- How much does personal travel insurance cost? Premium depends on your specific situation — activities, asset values, cover type and claims history all affect the price. We compare options across multiple insurers and explain the differences clearly.
- Do I need a broker or can I go direct? You can approach insurers directly, but a broker compares multiple markets, structures cover to match your specific needs and advocates for you at claim time. For regional and rural risks, broker access often finds options not available direct.
- What happens when I need to claim? Contact us immediately. We manage the notification, help document the loss, liaise with the insurer and assessors, and advocate for a fair outcome.
- How do I know if I am underinsured? Your sum insured should reflect full replacement cost at today’s prices. We review sums insured at every renewal and flag concerns before a claim makes the shortfall real.
