Travel insurance for Australians at MyCover
Travel insurance for Australians at MyCover
Travel from Australia is always a risk as it usually involves a flight and leaves you a long way from home. It is essential for Australians to take out travel insurance as all medical insurers in Australia are prevented by the Australian Government legislation from providing cover outside the country. This is different for example USA residents can get worldwide cover from their medical insurer. I make sure I am covered as I am planning my trips by taking out cover with MyCover travel insurance before I leave.
It gives me the peace of mind I need when I travel and sometimes I leave at short notice, so I need to be prepared at all times.
I take an annual frequent traveler policy for my trips as most are for business and only a week or two at a time. Having the year round cover is very reassuring, as I dont need to go through the hassle of taking out a new policy for each trip I make. They have their policies available on line and I find this a very easy and inexpensive way to purchase travel insurance, more economical than having it bundled with my flight costs, as I know I will pay more through a travel agent. I have a few friends who now also take their policies from MyCover.
I am very particular about the cover I get when purchasing travel insurance, I always get comprehensive cover for overseas trips and as I do not require cover for pre-existing medical conditions I find the MyCover annual frequent traveler policy completely adequate for my requirements. I like to travel as safe as I can and appreciate that I only have to make one phone call to get any assistance I require, should things go wrong. You only need one medical emergency to make a mess of your travel plans, so being able to deal with this quickly, safely and efficiently is very comforting.
