As of 18 March 2020, DownUnder Insurance is temporarily ceasing to issue new international Travel Insurance policies based on the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) travel advice being upgraded to Do Not Travel (Level 4) for all overseas destinations.
Frequent Traveller Insurance is a cost-effective option for those Australians wanting to go on multiple trips during the course of a year, so long as any one trip lasts no longer than 45 days.
The policy is available to anyone aged 59 and under.
The Frequent Traveller Plans have extensive levels of cover, including: Overseas Emergency Assistance (Unlimited), Overseas Emergency Medical and Hospital expenses (Unlimited), Permanent Disability (max. Benefit $25,000), Travel Delay Allowance and Alternative Transport expenses, Luggage and Personal Effects , Cancellation and Loss Of Deposits, Personal Liability ($5,000,000) and Theft of Cash*.
Frequent Traveller Insurance remains the cheaper option for the regular traveller to choose from the personal insurance marketplace here in Australia.
