Travel Insurance

Cheap Travel Insurance

When I booked my holiday to Hawaii last year, I searched high and low online for a competitive quote for travel insurance. I came across 1Cover, which in the end provided me with the best and cheapest price for travel insurance. I also found it didn't cut any corners in relation to insurance coverage, even though it was the cheapest. I have recommended 1Cover Travel Insurance to all my friends and family, and I'm pretty sure you will be impressed with their quotes too, just as I was.

As mentioned before, for simple peace of mind for you and your family, travel insurance is an integral part of your holiday. Their holiday insurance policies cover all the potentially unfortunate events, such as a stolen wallet, an accident or an illness whilst you are away.

For example, hospital costs in Asia are at least $800 per day and a medical evacuation from America can cost up to $300,000.

Their 24 hour Emergency Assistance is provided by Mondial Assistance, the largest Emergency Assistance group in the world.

They are able to cover travellers of any age and we also provide instant cover for 43 pre-existing medical conditions that other providers exclude.

1Cover Travel Insurance offers instant travel insurance up to 50% cheaper than your travel agent.

 

Travel Tips from World Nomads Travel Insurance

Here are a few things to consider when choosing your insurance to make sure that you will be covered on your adventure:

  • Cancellation: It's no fun if you fall ill before you leave and can not go on your trip. To claim though, you have to buy your insurance policy when you buy your trip. Not all insurance policies cover cancellation, so please read the policy wording relevant to you carefully
  • Lost or Stolen Gear: most travel insurance policies have a per-item value limit – make sure its high enough to cover your gear or choose a policy that allows you to increase the limit.
  • Medical expenses over and above evacuation: check that your cover includes emergency treatment while away and transport to bring you home – remembering that insurance providers will usually insist on getting you home as soon as you are fit enough to travel.
  • Adventurous Activities: look carefully at what your policy covers - you may find that you are not covered to do all of the adventurous activities that you are planning while you're away.
  • Personal Liability: Accidents happen. If it's found to be your fault and someone decides to sue you, you want to be covered.
