Buy travel insurance direct and save
Many travellers like the idea of buying their policy when they book a holiday or a flight just by simply ticking a box, but this supposed convenience comes at a price. Buying travel insurance direct is by far the cheapest way to buy travel insurance. Airlines, travel agents and travel companies charge up to 50% commission on their policies. So avoid high commissions and buy direct as the cost will be significantly cheaper. Read more.

Finding the right policy for your trip is easy when you follow our top tips.
What type of policy do you need?
Whether you’re planning a trip to the slopes, a family holiday or gap year. We’ve got policies to suit all types of travellers. You can choose to either buy a single policy which will cover one trip. Or if you’re a frequent traveller you might save by purchasing an annual multi-trip policy which covers you for a whole year. You can take as many trips as you’d like internationally and domestically - woo hoo! All you need to know is your destination, dates, how many people are travelling and ages and you’ll be comparing quotes in no time.
How much cover?
Some holidays may require more cover than others. If you’re looking for a cheap travel insurance policy and planning on just lying on a beach for a week then a basic policy might be right for you. If you’re going away for a longer break, with lots of moving around and sightseeing tours, then a comprehensive policy could be what you’re looking for instead. We’ve got heaps of policies for you to compare to suit all kinds of budgets.
What type of holiday?
Did you know not all adventure activities are covered automatically? For example if you’re going to Running with the Bulls festival in Spain, most Australian insurers do not provide cover. Similar exclusions apply for motor sports or cliff jumping. Before you plan your holiday activities, make sure you’re covered. Your insurer’s Product Disclosure Statement will explain all the inclusions and exclusions you need to know. So read it before you go!
