International Travel Insurance fAQS

  • what countries are covered with international travel insurance?
  • We offer travel insurance to all countries as long as there is no a government 'do not travel' warning or countries that have sanctions.

  • can i purchase international cover if i'm already overseas?
  • Yes our Already Overseas policy covers travellers who forgot to buy cover before they departed Australia. There is no cover provided for the first 72 hours from the start date of your certificate of insurance. Read the PDS for full terms.

  • can i purchase extend international cover if i'm already overseas?
  • In most cases you are able to extend the dates of your trip if your original policy has not already expired. You can change the end date in our policy manager or contact the customer service team to help you. 

  • can i cover pre-existing conditions on international trips?
  • A pre-existing medical condition is a condition you have at the time of buying your policy. You must declare any existing conditions when purchasing cover or it could affect a claim later. See our pre-existing medical conditions page for more information. 

  • How do claims work for international holidays?
  • If you need to claim, you can do this while you are already overseas or wait until you are home, depending on the circumstances. You can make a claim here.

  • is covid covered internationally?
  • 1Cover offers overseas medical coverage if you test positive for Coronavirus (COVID-19) and require medical treatment while overseas. However, at this time we do not cover any cancellation costs or additional costs incurred because of Coronavirus (COVID-19). D

  • are there age limits on international trips?
  • We cover travellers of all ages on our single trip policies. Our annual multi-trip policies can be purhcased by those 64 and under.

  • does 1Cover have 24/7 emergency assistance overseas?
  • Yes, where ever you are in the world, our emergency assistance team is available to help you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Click for our emergency contact details. 

  • how does international and domestic cover differ?
  • The main difference is that Domestic travel insurance does not cover medical benefits, unlike international travel insurance due to the governments healthcare system. If you are travelling domestically on a cruise you will be required to purchase cruise insurance as Medicare does not cover you, even if you are within Australian waters.

  • how much does international travel insurance cost?
  • The cost of travel insurance is really all to do with risk. The price is determined on where you travel, how long you go for and your age. Travel Insurance is a small price to pay if you consider the cost of medical treatment overseas. You can save by purchasing annual cover, comparing your options, taking shorter trips. But really if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel.
