Travel Insurance Direct is a company headquartered in North Sydney and underwritten by Allianz Australia Insurance Limited. They are also supported by Mondial Assistance, a worldwide group that features 35 emergency locations in 28 different countries. There are a variety of reasons why Australians going on holiday should consider coverage from this company. Because you cannot predict unfortunate circumstances when traveling, it's better to be safe than sorry and have some kind of coverage to protect you. In this article you will learn about some of the various types of protection this trusted company can offer you.

Medical Emergency / Evacuation Coverage

Are you heading to the United States, Canada or Japan? If so, then you need this type of coverage. Did you know that it can cost up to, or even more than $100,000 to be evacuated from your travel destination home to Australia if a medical emergency occurs? Not only that, but the cost of international medical care can be staggeringly expensive. This type of policy can cover expenses like chaperone expenses, emergency evacuation, hospital bills, outpatient services, prescription medicines, dental expenses, and even coverage for pregnancy or pre-existing conditions.

Trip Cancellation Insurance

This is a type of insurance you should purchase as soon as you book your trip. If you must delay, cancel or interrupt your trip because of illness, injury, inclement weather or family emergencies, this coverage will reimburse you for those non-refundable expenses like deposits and the like.

Baggage Insurance

This is a self-explanatory type of insurance coverage. With this type of insurance, your baggage and its contents are covered if lost, stolen or delayed. To find out more about the limits, exclusions and rules regarding this type of coverage, speak to an agent.

Personal Liability Coverage

If you somehow injure another person or party while traveling overseas, this type of insurance will cover their property damage and medical expenses. This type of coverage usually does not extend to automobile accidents. Speak to your agent if you have questions about personal liability coverage.

The qualified, caring agents will be happy to walk you through all the details of obtaining travel insurance and help you choose the perfect policy for your individual needs.
