What is Travel Insurance?
Travel insurance protects you if unexpected events occur during your trip. It covers medical emergencies, travel delays, and issues with your belongings. Our plans include cover for medical emergencies, repatriation, lost luggage, and trip cancellations.
From international cruises to annual multi-trip holidays, you can tailor the perfect policy to suit your travel style and destination. Our policies cater to singles, duos, and families. For detailed information about our plans, please read our Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) to find the cover that's right for you.
Why is Travel Insurance important?
Travel doesn't always go as planned. Travel insurance covers unexpected events, whether you are travelling overseas or within Australia. Without it, you or your family could face significant financial hardship.
Medical assistance is often the highest unexpected cost for Australians travelling overseas, with costs of emergency medical evacuations often exceeding $100,000 depending on the severity and location. Most countries do not offer free healthcare, so you or your insurer must cover the full expense.
Travel insurance also covers other issues. Research by SmartTraveller shows one in four Australians experience travel disruptions, like flight cancellations or lost luggage, on their last overseas trip.
The right travel insurance ensures you can enjoy your trip, knowing you’re protected from financial burdens if mishaps occur. For more information and to get your travel insurance quote, visit our website or call us.

- Emergency medical expenses and repatriation costs: Costs of tests, medications, and procedures needed to treat an illness or injury while travelling. You’ll also be covered for repatriation to bring you safely back home.
- Cancellation: Cover for flight and accommodation costs if an unexpected event means you have to cancel your trip before you go.

- Trips outside the region of cover: Your cover is limited to trips within the designated region of cover you chose, whether that’s Australia or overseas.
- Known events or circumstances: Claims related to events or issues that you knew about before buying the travel insurance or before booking any individual trip are not covered.
- Medical conditions you don’t declare: You need to declare all your medical conditions. If not, we won’t be able to cover you for any unexpected treatment connected to known health concerns.

- Your Age: Older travellers usually pay more due to higher health risks.
- Pre-existing Medical Conditions: Existing conditions can raise premiums because of the higher risk of needing medical treatment.

What our customers say
Finding the best travel insurance can be challenging, especially when faced with pre-existing medical conditions. Many insurers may decline coverage, leaving travellers feeling uncertain and unprotected. However, AllClear Travel Insurance has proven to be a reliable and customer-friendly option.
"After being declined by so many other insurance companies we were given the name of AllClear. Nice surprise to find how easy it was to get in touch with them and to have a consultant who was not only very friendly but very helpful and easy to understand. My husband has pre existing medical conditions which we have been previously covered for but now the company that we usually use won't cover him. Great service from staff at AllClear and would highly recommend." - John
Frequently Asked Questions about Travel Insurance
How does Travel Insurance work?

Do you need Travel Insurance?
Travel insurance is not required, but it is very important. It protects you from unexpected events that could ruin your trip. It covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, travel delays, and lost belongings. Without it, you could face big expenses if something goes wrong during your travels, both in your country and abroad.
What Travel Insurance do you need?
The type of travel insurance you need depends on where you're going, how long you'll be away, and what you'll be doing. For frequent travellers, an annual policy is best.
