Basic Travel Insurance

Travel light with our Basic Travel Insurance for the essentials

What is Allianz Basic Travel Insurance?

Just because you’re travelling on a budget doesn’t mean you have to skip travel insurance. In fact, travelling without insurance could cost you a lot more in the long run. Our Basic Travel Insurance is available to travellers under 75 at the time the Certificate of Insurance is issued.

It’s designed to cover you for what’s most important – your health and safety – with cover for overseas medical and hospital expenses1, overseas emergency assistance1 and personal liability cover2. See the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for all terms, conditions, exclusions, limits and applicable sub-limits that may apply.

COVID-19 benefits
We offer travel insurance options that include COVID-19 benefits for things like trip cancellation and overseas medical and hospital expenses if you contract COVID‑193 during the period of cover.

Note: there’s no cover for pre-existing medical conditions under our Basic Travel Insurance plan, and you can’t apply for pre-existing medical cover under this plan. If you want cover of your pre-existing medical condition/s, you’ll need to select a different plan and apply for cover. Refer to the Product Disclosure Statement for more details.
