Insuring for Travel

Whether you are traveling for work or play (or a combination of both), you don’t want to be caught without travel insurance.

Medicare and Australian private health insurance does not provide cover outside Australia (or within Australia on a domestic cruise ship) and overseas medical costs can be extremely high.

In some countries, you will not receive medical treatment until payment is guaranteed. It’s important that your Travel Insurance policy includes access to a 24/7 phone support service.

In addition to medical costs, cover can also include:

• Cancelation costs
• Lost or stolen personal property
• Rental car excess
• Loss of deposits

Tempo Tips

• Single trip policies are available but annual policies provide better value for frequent travelers.
• Corporate Travel policies can provide annual cover, including for private travel by Directors and their accompanying spouse and dependent children.
