Low Cost Travel Insurance

Travel Safely

When people go travelling they almost never forget their sunglasses, their sun cream and usually their tickets. One of the things many people do forget about (sometimes at their peril) is the real need for some kind of travel health insurance. Whether you are visiting Uncle Arthur in London or planning a trip across the USA on roller skates you really should make your health your number one priority. Many travellers see overseas travel insurance as an added expense that they really could do without (refer to: Smart Traveller). This is without doubt a serious mistake. We provide a range of policies to suit most budgets and pride ourselves on having something to suit almost everyone. If you should have any questions regarding any aspect of the services we provide please do not hesitate to contact us and one of our dedicated advisors will be happy to address any queries you may have.

Accidents Abroad

If you should have an accident abroad, some countries are better equipped to deal with your condition than others so it pays to do some research before setting off. For example, if you were to have an accident in the UK you would probably have access to a more than adequate level of care whereas an accident in the highlands of Central Vietnam could be a different story altogether. Aside from the lack of facilities, an accident in a less developed nation could result in hefty charges involved in repatriation and crucial time lost between the time of injury and access to an acceptable level of medical care. Save yourself the worry and take a look at the range of budget travel insurance policies we provide, it could be the best money you ever spend.

Peace of Mind

Although a large portion of us will never need to activate our holiday travel insurance whilst overseas, if the worst should come to the worst you know you will be taken care of by a leader in the provision of worldwide travel insurance. There have been several well documented cases of people having accidents abroad with no or inadequate cover, aside from the obvious discomfort experienced by the injured party, the costs, usually paid for by the victim’s family can run into hundreds of thousands of dollars (refer to: Smart Traveller). This is a scenario we would never like to experience either from the victims point of view or their families, but nonetheless, accidents do happen so it makes sense you get yourself an adequate policy before you leave home.

Well Priced Travel Insurance

Contrary to popular belief and some of the quotes provided by other a travel insurance companies, a decent policy that meets your needs needn’t cost the earth. We realise that not every traveller can afford or even wants the best level of medical cover that money can buy; the vast majority want an international travel insurance policy that covers them for the essentials. Access to emergency medical care and repatriation are the only things that the majority of travellers want from their insurance which is why we strive to provide a number of different options dependent on our clients’ needs and budget. We also realise that no two customers are ever the same which is why we offer a series of optional add-ons should our customers require them; we basically provide the means for the customers to build their own bespoke policy.

For many young and not so young the backpacking trail is a right of passage and although full of enlightening experiences and unrivalled excitement there are still some potential pitfalls, the main pitfall being illness or injury. In some parts of the world a certain amount of illness is inevitable, but for more serious conditions and accidents purchasing a comprehensive backpackers travel insurance policy is essential. This type of policy should be every traveller’s number one priority, if hoping to avoid catastrophic consequences at worst and a debilitating financial situation at best (refer to: Smart Traveller).

A Quality Provider

When sourcing your inexpensive travel insurance provider we would strongly urge you to select carefully. If a company provides you with a quote that is significantly cheaper than other providers we would recommend you to proceed with extreme caution. Some of the prices quoted online are simply unfeasible in regard to providing an adequate level of travel/medical insurance. The basic rule of thumb is that if it seems too good to be true then it very probably is. Paying way too little for an insurance policy may result in the services offered not being up to an acceptable standard and although there are occasionally real bargains to be found, these are few and far between. Picking a reputable provider such as Downunder Insurance not only gives you the peace of mind that comes as standard but also provides you with all the assistance you need should the unexpected happen.
