TRAVEL INSURANCE

If you can't afford insurance, you can't afford to travel. Insurance will cover you for all of those unexpected things that can happen to you when you travel. You may lose your backpack in New York, injure yourself in India or miss your connection in Cairo. If you're insured, you're covered!

Accidents happen – and they can happen in the strangest places at the strangest times, like on the side of a mountain in Nepal or in an alley in Amsterdam at 3am in the morning. Naturally we want you to be adequately insured so that you won’t be out of pocket.

But stuff never happens to me. I’m the luckiest person in the universe! What could possibly happen to me?

Have you thought about what could happen before you even start your trip?

• Motor Vehicle accident 2 days after paying for tickets for your Big OE
• You’ve bought a non-refundable air ticket to go and see a rock concert and the band unexpectedly cancel
• Dodgy encounter with a fiery vindaloo the night before departing overseas

DID YOU KNOW?

• 25% of all travel insurance claims are due to cancellation of travel
• A lot of airfares these days are 100% non refundable (particularly to Australia and Pacific Islands)
• On top of airline fees, cancellation fees may also be charged by accommodation providers and/or tour operators
• You can’t predict an illness or injury that may prevent you from travelling overseas
