Why do I need Travel Insurance?

Have you ever heard the saying 'if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel,'  well, in many cases it rings true.  Many travellers, especially those
on a tight budget, believe that travel insurance is a luxury not a necessity, and hope to save money but not taking out a travel policy. However the reality is, should something happen to you, such as sickness or injury, or to your property while travelling, your insurance will be worth its premium many times over.

Medical and emergency assistance                                                                                              Travel Insurance Quote

This is the most important type of cover you should have, even if you are purchasing a very basic travel insurance policy. Cover providing you with 24 hour around the clock assistance is also advised, as many of the countries you will be travelling to will be in a different time zone to Australia making phone contact difficult if you happen to get sick or injured in the middle of the night. Medical cover is important as medical costs and charges can escalate in a very short space of time, particularly in countries like the USA where an uninsured patient can run up bills into the $1000's and often more if you are extremely ill or severely
injured. The last thing you want to have to do if sick or injured is to have to figure out a way to repay ever increasing medical bills.                                                             

Personal Liability and Legal Expenses

Two other aspects of cover you should consider almost mandatory when investigating policy types, is personal liability and legal expenses cover. Personal liability covers you for damage or bodily injury you may cause to somebody else's property or person. As an example, if you were surfing in California and your board hit someone else in the head causing an injury, you would be covered for any claim they make against you regarding that injury (within the policy schedule).  Terms conditions and exclusions apply.
