What does MyCover’s international travel insurance cover?

MyCover’ International Comprehensive Plan will cover you for:

  • Medical cover: MyCover offers unlimited medical and hospital cover, as well as $1,000 in overseas dental expenses. You must provide a medical practitioner’s report confirming you’re unfit to travel.
  • Loss/theft of personal items: MyCover also covers the loss or theft of personal items, including trip delays or damage. It will pay up to $10,000.
  • Travel delays/cancellation: MyCover does offer cancellation cover; however, you must add the amount of cover that best suits you. It offers up to $2,000 in additional travel and accommodation due to strikes, natural disasters, riots or other severe weather conditions that may delay your trip.
  • Rental car excess: If, as a result of an unexpected event, the rental vehicle you have hired is stolen or damaged during your journey, MyCover Comprehensive will reimburse you for any non-refundable excess payable to the rental vehicle company of up to $3,000.
  • 24/7 assistance: MyCover Travel’s emergency worldwide assistance team is available 24 hours a day via phone.
  • Lost or stolen documents: MyCover 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, and 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.
