Way back in June while travelling in Europe our holiday unit in Split, Croatia was broken into (I posted the long sad story on another forum at the time). Well we have now finalised the insurance claim(s) as follows:- AmEx (underwritten by Chubb) - paid out for the following:- Emergency...

Hi all, Just a quick question as I am seeking travel insurance provider recommendations for myself and the wife – travelling Scandinavia through Feb-March 2020 on the Qantas Oneworld Award flight (280k points for business class RTW). Just wondering what recommendations prior travellers using...

Hi Does your free credit card travel insurance (FCCTI) buy you an airfare when you miss a connection due to late arrival of the preceding flight, when traveling on separate itineraries? I was travelling on MH from KUL to BKK on Itinerary A, and connecting to EK418 (rest in peace...) from BKK...

My current annual business travel policy is about to expire 31st August and I'm about to retire. I can renew for 1 more year but at a cost of $1500, almost double what it was last year because we planned a couple of o/seas trips including a long one for next year. I'm having trouble finding a...

Any recommendations for a provider that does not exclude terrorism for medical claims?

In the next 12 months I've got a few F/J flights coming up and looking though the terms and conditions on a couple of policies it appeared that in the event of say a missed connection or illness all of them replaced the lost flights with economy. Does anyone here have a recommendation for a TI...

Well some of us have been fortunate (?) enough to have earned sufficient "quarters" of earnings to qualify for the hospitalization part of USA Medicare (for over 65s). And I believe there are some limitations on attempting to use other insurance to cover the hospital fees part of any patient...

hi Noticed an interesting non-inclusion in my travel insurance, which is through Insure And Go - they only cover the excess for bog standard cars. Their Section L excludes "expensive & exotic" cars. Which being a relative term, I asked them if a Ford Mustang in Hawaii is covered - they said no...

Has your credit card insurance been just as good as any other travel insurance?

Amex is offering free travel insurance for Gold Card holders -- it might be me --but I can only see under the Transport section covered "While riding as a passenger on, or transport to/from a Terminal on a Licensed Airplane, Ship or Bus • While in a departure or destination terminal " no...

Just skimmed the ? changed conditions and my reading is that you must pay for the full fare or package to the $500 trigger +/- points whereas previously you only had to pay to the $500 trigger. Anyone else have a view ?

My 15 year old is on an overseas school trip later this year, and on the return leg, is leaving the tour to join us for a holiday. The travel insurance his school provides ends of course when he leaves their tour, and I'm struggling to find travel insurance that will just cover him from the...

I'm hiring a campervan in Australia and looking at insurance options. If I pay with my ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures visa card, I'll be covered for excess up to $5k, unless this: "We will not pay: 1. for the collision excess, where the full amount payable by you under the rental vehicle...

Hi everyone I am going to Europe for 4 weeks in June and am contemplating getting a paid travel insurance policy. I have an ANZ travel adventures credit card and a Westpac Altitude credit card and have qualified for the free travel insurance on each of these cards. Would the combination of...

I want to book a trip to the US, Canada, and a cruise to Alaska, but I am having trouble getting travel insurance because of a pre existing illness. I had a heart attack last November and now have a stent.

Hi All, i have a 4.5 yo CPAP machine i have to take with me overseas. i believe it is almost completely depreciated out of existence - and thus not worth much. Do people, when taking out TI, take out any special coverage for their older machines, or just hope for the best and treat it as...

Dear AFF Forum Team, After much fantasising, research, more research and then some more research (and a lot done on this website), we are about to put down a deposit on a 16 day cruise to Antarctica - Falklands, South Georgia, Antarctica - in January/February 2021 ! Yikes, I never thought I'd...

I am concerned about the possible end of Jet Airways and therefore started to look at my travel insurance policy from Southern Cross. It explicitly states that failure of airline to provide service due to financial halt of airline is not covered. Can someone tell me what company in Australia...
