Our policies are really for anyone who wants great cover at an affordable price. After all, you want to spend the majority of your hard earned cash on your holiday don't you?

Why are your Policies so Affordable?
Our policies have been developed with the budget traveller in mind, so we offer 2 very different policies. Our Backpacker policy is ideal for short trips abroad, or for backpacking adventures where you want to be covered for the essentials like medical cover and personal liability. Our other policy type, the Comprehensive Policy, is ideal for those of you who want higher levels of cover. Basically you choose how much you want to spend based on the level of cover afforded to you.
We offer holiday insurance policies to all destinations worldwide but suggest that prior to travelling you consider the travel advisories issued by the Australian Government. You can view them here.
