Hi Janelle,
Thank you for reaching out to us with your query. All claims for cancellation or amendment costs will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and in accordance with the terms, conditions and exclusions of your policy.
If the reason that you want to cancel or amend your trip arises from or relates to COVID-19, then the General Exclusion for an epidemic/pandemic will apply and cover is excluded.
We do recommend that you contact your travel agent and/or travel and accommodation providers in the first instance to reschedule or seek a refund for your trip.
If you would like to discuss this further with one of our team, please respond to the private message I have sent, noting your policy details.
Kind regards,
Jessica

Ok, so that really doesn't answer my question. We do not want to cancel our trip our trip has been cancelled through no fault of our own. My husband has been holding on the phone for 2 hours & was then given a message they will contact us in 48hours. I know you're busy but that's not good enough!!!

This question applies to all the insurance products. I'm not sure why Product Review doesn't include a click option for indicating the review is in relation to making a claim. You would think the front office, when they take your money, would be a decent enough experience from most companies; I'm interested in hearing from the people who have actually tried to make a claim. Maybe a suggestion for Product Review to make an improvement here.

Why ask under THIS company when you could simply raise this issue with Product Review directly ?

Pity you didn’t think to check out the car insurance section which has this feature already.

Well that answer wasn’t terribly useful. I was hoping Product review would have taken this suggestion and indicated if there was a way to do that or fixed up the option.

Hi Tryingtobehelpful,
Thank you for providing us with your suggestion for Product Review filtering options. If you raise this directly with the Product Review team, they will be able to advise if this option is available now or if it is something that they will be making available in the future. You can contact Product Review by following this link;

In your details on this web page, you show a comparison of your 3 Travel Insurance Covers. What you said about Medical and Hospital Expenses surprised me, because in a quote you gave me you stated differently:

Overseas Emergency Medical & Hospital Expenses Not Included Not Included Not Included

Can you clarify please?

We return via plane( after the cruise) to Brisbane from Italy via AbuDhabi. My question is, Is my wife and I covered for Air transport, accomodation as well as Cruise in one Policy?

Jan A.asked

Travel Insurance

We are not travelling until July 2020. Is it better to take out travel insurance now, as we have prepaid for some of our trip or wait until closer to the departure date. I'm unsure if the premiums decrease as the departure date becomes closer. Any advice will be much appreciated.

Customer RelationsAustralian Seniors

Hi Jan A.,
Thank you for your question. All insurance companies may vary these requirements, however if you choose to insure with Australian Seniors you can take your policy 12 months in advance of when you travel. Your policy will start at the date of departure, except for cancellation or amendment expenses, which starts as soon as you purchase your policy. If you would like a quote, can you please send your contact details in a private message and I will arrange for a team member to give you a call. Our policy information can be found at https://www.seniors.com.au/travel-insurance if you would like more information.
