Annual Holiday Insurance
>> Annual Holiday Insurance That Sticks By You
Australia has the highest number of holidays in the world. We love our holidays, and with a climate like ours it's no wonder we developed this mindset. We also love to travel. We're incredibly open to the world around us, to meeting new people and experiencing new cultures. But we tend to be a bit slack about issues such as insurance (it's that she'll be right influence sneaking in). When travelling overseas you have to up your game - you need to take out annual holiday insurance.
Are you planning on working as you travel? Sound like a strange question? Somehow, working somewhere else doesn't feel like working at all, and the extra money really extends your holiday options and ability to travel. If working OS has been in the back of your mind, here's a useful resource:
Australia has reciprocal working relations with dozens of countries - Sweden and Norway, Japan, France and Germany, Taiwan, the U.K., China and heaps more. To find out the details go to the Australian Government worksheet - immi.gov.au/media/fact-sheets/49whm.htm.
Whether your working in paid work, as a volunteer or just travelling through, you are expected to have even a basic level of annual travel insurance. If you break your arm while travelling Vietnam, you'll be glad you took the time to buy comprehensive cover when you realise how expensive, and sometimes hard to find, medical treatment is in other countries. And as for evacuation - you'd have to mortgage the family home to pay for it.
Even with our most basic policy you receive:
- Unlimited medical and hospital expenses, a designated amount on dental, cash in hospital and emergency expenses, repatriation and personal liability.
- Overseas emergency assistance which incorporates 24/7 reverse charges contact for assistance or even just advice, emergency medical transportation, evacuation and travel planning, hospital care management, replacing documents and passports and more.
That's just the basic cover, and we have three other levels. You'll find, for what you get, all our policies provide incredibly cheap travel insurance for up to 18 months.
Whether your travelling direct to someplace you can chill out, literally, or working your way around, this annual holiday insurance let's you worry about the fun stuff. And check out our offer to receive a Lonely Planet Guide - Free.
