Why should I take out a Cheap Holiday Insurance policy?
Have you ever heard the saying, if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel? (refer to: Smart Traveller). This is probably one of the more truthful statements on the internet! Unfortunately many travellers, especially those without a lot of cash to spare, view travel insurance as a luxury and not the necessity it is. However the reality is, if something happens to you personally, such as illness or injury, or to your stuff/luggage while travelling, your insurance policy will be worth
every cent.
Medical and emergency assistance
Medical and emergency assistance cover is the most important type of insurance cover you should have, even if you are only travelling overseas for a few days or weeks. Make sure that you look at the type of medical cover you receive with your policy - we offer you 24 hour medical emergency assistance. This is of particular importance to an Aussie traveller as the majority of you will be going to the other side of the world, which makes phone contact difficult if you happen to get sick or injured in the middle of the night. Medical cover is the most important aspect of your policy as medical bills and the associated charges can escalate very quickly, especially if you require specialist care or need to be sent home or to a nearby country with better medical facilities. In countries such as America where an uninsured patient can quickly run up bills into thousands of dollars, it pays to have a decent travel insurance policy. The last thing you want when you are sick or injured and halfway through your travels, is to have to work out a way to repay your every increasing medical bills.
Personal Liability and Legal Expenses
Personal liability (which covers you for any damage or bodily injury you may cause to somebody else's property or person) and legal expenses are two other aspects of cover you should consider very important when deciding on a travel insurance policy. Personal liability can come in handy in any number of situations, for example, if you were windsurfing in France and your board or sail hit and injured someone, you would be covered for any claim they make against you regarding that injury (as stated within the policy schedule). Terms conditions and exclusions apply.
