What’s covered under the Coronavirus Travel Costs benefit?

Our International and Australian Comprehensive plans include cover up to a limit of $2,500 per primary traveller. Our Annual Multi Trip plans includes cover up to a limit of $7,500 per primary traveller.

As cover varies between plans it is important to check the Product Disclosure Statement for full details.

All of our products include cover for:

  • Cancellation if you or a member of your travelling party are diagnosed with COVID-19 and cannot travel
  • Additional expenses if you are denied boarding to your scheduled public transport
  • Quarantine costs if you contract COVID-19 or are a close contact whilst on your trip
  • If you have to cancel your trip due to a close relative being hospitalised with COVID-19

What we don’t cover:

  • While a country or region has a 'Do Not Travel' warning in place for an event, our travel insurance won't cover you for loss that arises from that event if you: travel to; plan to travel to; or remain in that country or region. This includes claims relating to COVID-19 for travel in a country or region where there is a ‘Do Not Travel’ warning in place due to COVID-19, regardless of the date your policy is purchased.
  • Losses arising from government prohibition, regulation or intervention, including travel bans and border closures.
  • Losses arising from failure to follow advice from official bodies, including vaccination advice where applicable.
  • When you buy or extend a policy or make or undertake travel arrangements when you are aware, or a reasonable person in your circumstances should have been aware, of circumstances that could lead to a claim.
  • Ignoring doctor’s advice and travelling anyway – many of us have probably hopped on a plane with the sniffles before but, times have changed.
  • Quarantine when required as a matter of course when you’re returning to your home in Australia or travel interstate or overseas -  this is an expense that you should incorporate into your travel plans.
