I cannot understand people travelling overseas without insurance.
When I compared other travel insurance and pointed out that I had used you many times before, the price offer was better than the other quote from the travel agent.

Because of age I feel discriminated . The charges r less for younger. A doctor's certificate would show I am very well and not any greater risk to those 70

Very easy to use
This is the second occasion we have used Columbus Travel Insurance. The online process is quick and simple to use. If help is required then a quick phone call resolved the problem. The person on the other end of the phone was also very pleasant to deal with. Would definitely use them again and have recommended to friends

Very easy
This is the first time I have done a group policy and your rep was most helpful. I could waffle on and stretch this out as much as you like but I would just be wasting your time and mine.
How about in future no minimum words.

A good experience with phone call quote, but watch the misleading Excl policy which doesn't include
The travel insurance policy from Columbus is well priced.
We have used them for 2 years for multiple entry insurance, but we havent had a claim as yet.
But I think that the policy title is misleading - a policy with "Excl" in the title actually excludes the USA and Canada, The countries covered should be more clearly stated, not hidden away in the fine print.

The easiest part of the trip
Have used Columbus Direct for all our overseas trips and found booking the policy to be extremely easy and quick. Email follow up is extremely prompt. Used the phone once in the past and my question was promptly answered.

Questions & Answers
Jenniwrenasked
Is the cost of an annual multi travel insurance for a couple (husband and myself) or is it individual.
1 answer
Columbus DirectColumbus Direct
Hi Jenni,
The price displayed on our online quotes is the total price for the number of travellers entered. So when requesting a quote for 2 people, the price displayed is the total price for both.
It’s worth noting that our policy cover limits and excesses apply per person. For Annual Multi-trip policies each adult is considered separately insured, and so you don’t have to be on the same trip for cover to apply.
Thanks
Casey (Customer Care)

I have insured with you in the past. I am now 60yrs old with diabetes Type 1 and multiple sclerosis, with no admissions to hospital for more than 30 yrs. Can I still be covered if I wish to take out a policy?
2 answers
I have previously had a policy with you. Now I have reached 60yrs, with both Type 1 diabetes & MS am I able to purchase travel insurance? I have not been in hospital for more than 30yrs & am well.
Columbus DirectColumbus Direct
Hi Jenny,
We are often able to cover pre-existing medical conditions. We use a quick and easy medical screening process to assess cover for each customer's conditions individually.
Our screening process can be completed online. If you would prefer to speak to someone, I'd be happy to arrange a call for you. I've sent you a message with my contact details.
Thanks,
Casey (Customer Care)

Does your travel insurance policy cover the age over 80 years old?
2 answers
Columbus DirectColumbus Direct
Hi T C – thanks for your question. We can cover travellers up to and including the age of 84 on our single trip policies. Our Annual Multi-trip policies and some sports cover add-ons, however, are only available to those aged under 70. You can enter your trip details and travellers’ ages into our online quote engine at https://travel.columbusdirect.com.au to check what cover is available. Alternatively, feel free to give us a call on 1300 669 999 to discuss your situation with our customer care team in Sydney. We hope you find what you’re looking for!
Yes it does but charges extra $ because the customer is 80 yrs and older. They also have strict exclusions.
