Hume Bank Travel Insurance

Hume Bank’s international travel insurance policies have unlimited cover for overseas medical and hospital expenses under its Comprehensive, Essentials and Multi-Trip policies. It also says that while ‘unlimited’ means there is no capped dollar sum, the costs and expenses claimed must be reasonable.

The Non-Medical plan does not provide any emergency assistance or cover for medical and hospital expenses.

Various conditions and exclusions and limits may apply – for example, hospital accommodation and medical treatment will only be covered by Hume Bank during the 12 month period after the illness appeared or the injury happened. For more information, read Hume Bank’s PDS.

Hume Bank will cover you up to a certain amount for replacing, repairing or reimbursing luggage and personal effects that are lost, stolen or damaged while travelling. 

At the time of writing, under a Hume Bank Domestic travel insurance policy, luggage and personal effects may be covered up to $10,000 per individual for single or couple plans and $20,000 for a family plan.
