Why is it best to use an Australian Travel Insurance Company?
Medical claims from Australian hospitals can be handled immediately. Often hospitals won’t deal with overseas insurance funds and the insured will have to pay for treatment and services up-front and then arrange to be reimbursed by their overseas insurance company. My credit card offers free travel insurance – why pay for more? In many cases, the insurance offered is not comprehensive and may be limited to coverage for accidental death, flight accidents and car rental damage. Other possible expenses such as travel medical costs, evacuation expenses and trip cancellation charges may not be covered. Often only the individual cardholder is covered and not other family members. There may be conditions on the amount of travel that must be purchased on the credit card and limits on the claims that can be made. Travellers must carefully read the credit card travel insurance policy documents to determine the level of cover and conditions attached. Is there an age limit on travel insurance? Mos
