helloworld Travel Insurance with Allianz Partners


Medical Cover Related to Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - updated 06 March 2020 


Allianz Partners has introduced leisure and business travel insurance for international travel with selected cover for epidemic and pandemic diseases.


While there will still be a general exclusion for epidemics and pandemics, there will be provision to claim for cancellation if you contract an epidemic or pandemic disease such as Covid-19 after purchasing your policy and can no longer travel. Cover for medical claims directly related to an epidemic or pandemic disease such as Covid-19 will only apply after you commence your journey.


It is important to note that there is no cover for lockdowns, changes in government alert levels, quarantine or mandatory isolation applying to a population or part of a population. The policy will not respond in the event that any government calls for border closures. As with any travel insurance, disinclination to travel due to fear or change of mind is not covered.


Even the most carefully planned travel experiences can go unexpectedly wrong. Regardless of how careful you are, it is important to prepare for the unforeseen and organise travel insurance as soon as you have confirmed your holiday booking. With helloworld Travel Insurance, advice and assistance are just a phone call away.


We offer two plan options  

  • The Essentials plan: Restricted benefits and lower policy limits
  • The Comprehensive plan: Higher limits and extended benefits


Both policies offer the following standard policy features:

  • Cover for medical and repatriation expenses
  • Emergency assistance provided 24 hours/7 days a week
  • Replacement cover for baggage items less than 2 years old

  3. Hot air ballooning
