travel insurance - australian resident
 

i left the travel & medivac insurance thing a bit late given that i am leaving brisbane on saturday... can anyone suggest an insurer who can provide 1. travel insurance & / or 2. medical evac insurance for australian residents / citizens?

i have been trolling through the hubb but all the referals regarding this are for american and british / eurpopean only citizens.
thanks in advance
ciao

Greetings Dave

I've used these guys for travel insurance

Travel Insurance :: Aussietravelcover for Worldwide Travel Insurance

They will cover you if you are riding a large capacity motorbike (assuming you have a license) :-)

As for med evac I can't help you but you could ask the ATC people and see if they have any ideas

Try CGU travel insurance. They were happy to cover three of us for a 6 month motorcycle trip at a reasonable rate. You will want to confirm this with them in writing as it doesn't explicitly mention the scenario of travelling on your own vehicle. This does include some level of medivac, but I dare say that it is not up to the level of the specialist medivac covers. Have a read of the fine print.

Hi Dave

Have a look at our links page on our website for contact details for Ryan Dowling at Travel Utopia. He is a very good friend of ours and recommended some good insurance for us from Oz.

Hope he can help you:thumbup1:

Hi Dave
Which insurance did you end up choosing and what was your experience with it?

I have WorldCare underwritten by Allianz and can recommend them as I have made claims and found them very professional and always paid out. I have not used the repatriation however, and hope I never have to :thumbup1:
