>> What Do We at iTrek Offer?
- 24/7 emergency contact plus the ability to phone a medical professional for urgent advice.
- Unlimited emergency medical, hospital and evacuation cover plus some critical extras such as emergency cash and cash in hospital, hospital case management, referrals to gain legal advice and assistance replacing documents lost in an accident.
- Choice of 4 levels of cover from basic through to comprehensive with your choice of Lonely Planet Shoestring Guide with any 12 or 18 month policy at no additional cost.
- A14-day cooling off period after purchase providing you haven't left home or made a claim in that time.
- Up to $2.5 million in Personal Liability (PL) cover depending on the policy chosen. This is a really important component, however travellers often don't understand the need for PL. We do which is why it comes as standard with every level. PL covers any accidental damage you may do to someone else's property, or if your actions cause an injury to others.
Examples - A/ you hire a car in Italy, get confused as you negotiate a winding cobbled street, side swipe another car which mounts the footpath and injures two pedestrians. B/ running late for a bus you knock into a female pedestrian causing her to fall and break her arm. C/ you trip in an art gallery and damage a priceless Louise XIV hair clip - really you can add any scenario, and if you think it can't happen, think again.
If you don't have Personal Liability, you foot the bill, so checking the amount of PL a policy provides can be as critical financially as any medical/evacuation cover.
For the cheapest travel insurance Australia has to offer, purchase travel insurance direct from the company rather than via a travel insurance broker or through the overseas or domestic tour company or travel agency. A comparison has shown fees to be around 50% to 60% cheaper in many cases, and of course you get a cheap price by purchasing online.
Travel insurance companies, Australia,generally provide a good standard, so it is then a matter of choosing the best.
