What travel policies do Travel Protect offer?
COVID Basic
Planning to backpack across the globe? Or are you just looking to squeeze your budget as much as possible? A COVID Basic policy gives you protection over the bare essentials, with unlimited medical cover in case you run into an unplanned health emergency mid-trip, or if you have a covered, COVID-related reason that will interrupt or require you to cancel your trip.
Comprehensive
If you want to be prepared for a wider range of ‘what if’ situations, a comprehensive travel policy can help lower those run-in odds. These policies usually work to cover most of your bases with unlimited medical cover, lost or stolen personal belongings, rental vehicle excess, cancellations and more.
Can I access my account online?
While you can find a claims form online, if you need help managing your policy or making a claim, you’ll need to call or email for more help.
Helpful tip
If you get injured overseas, don’t assume reciprocal healthcare agreements will have your back. While they might seem useful, these agreements only exist in a handful of countries. They also won’t cover everything – they even differ in coverage from one country to the next. Travel insurance can help fill in the gaps that some reciprocal healthcare agreements leave out, like emergency transport, hospital stays, or repatriation to get you back home for tailored medical care.

Frequently asked questions
What destinations can I get cover for?
Travel Protect can help you stay covered across most of the world, including popular destinations like Bali (Indonesia), New Zealand, the US, the UK, and more. If you’ve got a few destinations (or a whole continent) planned, you can pick grouped regions, like all of Europe or all of Asia, when getting your quote.
How does my excess work?
Your excess is your contribution towards any claims you might need to make on your policy. The amount is usually flexible (within a range). So, if you choose a smaller excess, you might see your premium jump slightly, while a higher excess could see a smaller premium. When it comes to Travel Protect, excess is applied on a per-person insured basis, so make sure to think about this when choosing your excess amount.
How do I make a claim?
Making a claim with Travel Protect is easy. All you need to do is complete an online claim form or call their claims assistance line. Just make sure you’ve got all your relevant documents and evidence, like incident photos, receipts or medical reports, to back up your claim. If more information is needed, Travel Protect will get back to you within 10 days and will keep you updated along the way.
How can I pay my bill?
You can pay for your Travel Protect travel insurance premium through a credit card.
Make sure travel insurance has your back when plans go rogue
Lost bags or surprise snowstorms, travel loves to throw a plot twist in your itinerary plans. While travel insurance won’t be able to magically clear that snowstorm, it could help you deal with the chaos (and cost) when things go wrong. It’s your plan B, so plan A go keep chugging along.
