Italy is a popular destination for Australians. From its dazzling coastline and vine-laden countryside to its chic cities bursting with history, Italy oozes culture all year-round – and don’t get us started on the food! But a belly full of nonna’s best pasta won’t stop things going south, which is why it’s a good idea to consider getting travel insurance. We can help with that.
We've simplified travel insurance with our bundled Explorer Plan that you can build upon with extra coverage. This way, you only pay for the coverage you need on the days you actually need it.
We provide a benefit that includes coverage for overseas medical and hospital expenses. And, if things go really wrong, we can help with emergency repatriation or evacuation to bring you home. Coverage for these costs are subject to claim approval.
Only applies to Overseas Explorer Plan.
If you need to amend, delay or cancel your trip, we can help smooth out bumps in your travel plans. You can even increase your cancellation coverage in increments of $1,000 by paying additional premiums.
We offer benefits that can provide coverage to help fund the replacement or reimbursement of delayed, lost, stolen or damaged luggage. You can also increase the single-item limit for portable electronic gadgets, and ramp up your coverage for other specified items you won't travel without.
