What does Australia Post’s international travel insurance cover?
Australia Post Travel Insurance’s international comprehensive policy will cover you for:
- Medical cover: Australia Post Comprehensive has unlimited medical, dental and hospital cover; however, you must provide a medical practitioner’s report confirming you’re unfit to travel.
- Loss/theft of personal items: Australia Post also covers the loss or theft of personal items, including trip delays or damage. It will pay up to $7,500 with different items such as electronic equipment, with a limit up to $3,500.
- Travel delays/cancellation: Australia Post does cover cancellation or travel delays depending on the level of cover chosen. The comprehensive policy has unlimited additional travel and accommodation due to strikes, natural disasters, riots or other severe weather conditions.
- Rental car excess: If, as a result of an unexpected event, the rental vehicle you have hired is stolen or damaged during your journey, Australia Post Comprehensive will reimburse you for any non-refundable excess payable to the rental vehicle company of up to $3,000.
- 24/7 assistance: Australia Post Travel’s emergency worldwide assistance team is available 24 hours a day via phone
- Lost or stolen documents: Australia Post will cover the cost involved in replacing important documents that have been lost or stolen.
Please note that exclusions may apply. For example, your medical cover may not pay claims for medical or dental treatment received in Australia, while it will only cover losses related pregnancy up to and including the twentieth week. Another example of an exclusion is not being covered for any delays caused by a natural disaster occurring before the start date of your insurance.
