YOUR 21

PASSPORT

TO PEACE

OF MIND

Making sure you return from holiday with
great memories — and not extra costs

Travelling is a real adventure and an important part
of any overseas trip is making sure that you keep
yourself safe while you’re away.
When you’re planning adventures overseas, there’s
so much excitement that it can be easy to forget
about the parts of travel that are a little less
glamorous. Organising travel insurance may not be
as thrilling as booking your trip – but having the best
time possible is a whole lot easier to do when you
have peace of mind with travel insurance cover.
Travel insurance covers you for a range of financial
losses and accidents that can occur while travelling.
Pretty simple! A typical policy can cover costs for the
likes of:
• Medical treatment including surgical fees, hospital
charges and emergency dental treatment;
• Costs incurred by cancellations and travel
disruption; and
• Loss or theft of and damage to personal baggage,
including clothing and personal effects.
There are also extras that you can choose to add on,
depending on how comprehensive your policy is. This
can include cover for specified additional items such
as jewellery or expensive electronic equipment or
cover for pre-existing medical conditions.
Like any kind of insurance, there are some
circumstances and activities that travel insurance
won’t cover. So while travel insurance is there to help
keep your trip running smoothly, it’s not a licence to
run wild and live dangerously.
You also need to be responsible about your
possessions – make sure you’ve read through your
policy to make sure you don’t put yourself into a
situation where you won’t be covered if something
goes wrong.
