What is travel insurance?
Travel insurance is designed to help cover you for a range of unexpected events while you're travelling overseas or in Australia. Depending on your cover, it could help protect you against costly overseas medical emergencies, lost or damaged luggage, rental car insurance excess, cost of cancellation or delays due to certain unforeseeable circumstances, and more.
Medibank Travel Insurance offers cover for both international and domestic trips, also provides you with the flexibility to add ski and snow cover, motorcycle and mopped cover, cruise cover or increase your item limits for luggage.
