Jerry N Pauline H.asked
I bought tickets to Hong Kong before the trouble started but forgot to purchase travel insurance straight away. So my question is that what type of travel insurance should I get that would cover me if the flights were cancelled into Hong Kong
1 answer
Customer Service R.1Cover
Hi Jerry, Unfortunately you have left it a little late. The demonstrations have been reported in the media for quite awhile now. Any new policies that have been purchased after 06 August do not cover any incidents related to the HKG demonstrations. Any policies that were purchased prior to 06 August, may have provisions to claim if they are impacted by the demonstrations. If you require further assistance, please contact call the centre or through our Chat system, Regards, Sophie

Hi Gayle, Sorry for the late response. Anything under $1000AUD, you need to pay and lodge a claim. Anything over this amount, then we take care of the costs, you just need to contact our Emergency team so that they can liaise with the medical team. Regards, Sophie

Customer Service R.1Cover
Hi Janice, If you purchase our cruise pack add-on there is a provision to claim for missed cruise departure. In regards to alcohol, it is a general exclusion under our policy if you are deemed to be intoxicated. There are lots of variables and each case is assessed based on its facts in accordance with the policy terms and conditions. We would apply the exclusion if it’s evident that the cause of the incident is directly attributable to intoxication of a policy holder. I hope this helps, if you have any further queries in regards to the policy you can contact our friendly contact centre team on 1300 854 819. Thank you, Sophie@1Cover
violetasked
Do any of your policies cover evacuation and repatriation from a cruise ship?
4 answers
No regret no information on this as we did not take a cruise on this last trip and as far as I know you would need to look at the particular aspects of the 1Cover policy as regards to cruises.
I was the insuree, not the insurer. You need to look at their website and put the question to them.
Customer Service R.1Cover
Hi Violet, we can provide cover for on board medical expenses and medical evacuation whilst you are travelling on a cruise by purchasing our Cruise Pack add-on, this also includes a number of other cruise specific benefits. Here is a link for further details about our cruise cover, https://www.1cover.com.au/cruise-travel-insurance/.
Thanks, Sophie@1Cover
Kerrieasked
Hi, I just saw the great review on here with 1 Cover. I have just put up a terrible review in regards to Allianz who we have used for years with our travel. Basically, I have spoken with Allianz Australia and America over the last 24 hours trying to extend our policy as we are extending in America.. Are you able to help? We are Australian Residents and that seems to be the issue with Allianz and the other company Allianz America recommended Insuremytrip.com won't help because we are Australian Residents.

Customer Service R.1Cover
Hi Kerrie, if you are Australian residents travelling overseas and plan to return to Australia within the next 12 months you may have the option to take out our Residents Already Overseas policy, https://www.1cover.com.au/already-abroad-travel-insurance/, if you have any queries in regards to the policy you can email our customer service team directly at [email protected]. Thanks Sophie@1Cover

Douglas S.asked
Do you pay medical bills direct if your are overseas
1 answer
Customer Service R.1Cover
Hi Douglas, for minor aliments make sure that you keep all receipts and reports from your treating doctor, including the diagnosis and treatment notes and any other documents and you can submit your claim once you get home. If your total cost of treatment will exceed $1,000 you, a member of your travelling party or family member MUST contact our medical assistance team as soon as possible. Our medical team will liaise with the treating hospital, and if you are covered, may provide written guarantees of payment for reasonable expenses (subject to your claim being approved). If you are covered and approved for medical evacuation, they will arrange this, if it’s deemed necessary. Thanks Sophie@1Cover

I would like a quote. . I'm going overseas roughly from the 13of may till the 10of September to Europe mainly Germany
You should know all my history .
Please make me a reasonable quote I e price
Kind regards
Fred Gabriel

Hi Fred,
From my information, you need to contact them directly for a quote. You're luck to be able to go overseas for such a long time. I think 1 Cover has a maximum period of 90 days.
Budget Direct has only a 30 day max period.....
Call them direct for a quote.
Cheers,
Mike
