Travel insurance products and policy types

Travel insurance plans

Cover-More Travel Insurance in Australia offers three plan levels. Availability and inclusions depend on policy type, destination, and traveller eligibility.

Compare benefits, limits, conditions, and exclusions before choosing a plan. The PDS is the source of truth for what a policy covers.

Cover choices and ways to vary the cover of a policy

Depending on the plan, trip, and eligibility, travellers can add cover options to a Cover-More policy.

Not all cover options are available on every plan, every policy type, or to every traveller. Read the PDS before buying, since limits, exclusions, conditions, and eligibility criteria apply.

Emergency assistance

Cover-More provides a 24/7 emergency assistance team for policyholders who need help while travelling.

In an emergency, contact local emergency services first, then contact Cover-More.

Emergency assistance (worldwide): +61 2 8907 5619

Cover-More's emergency assistance team can help with situations including hospitalisation, serious illness or injury, arranging an early return home, finding an English-speaking doctor, lost or stolen travel documents, legal referrals, travel disruption, and lost, stolen, or damaged luggage. Cover for costs under the policy benefits are subject to your claim being approved.

Toll-free emergency numbers are available for some destinations; travellers should check the Cover-More emergency assistance page for the number that applies to their location.

Claims

Cover-More policyholders can lodge a claim online at any time through Cover-More's online claims portal.

Online claims: https://claims.covermore.com.au/

Claims phone: 1300 36 26 44

Claims often require supporting documents such as receipts, medical or police reports, itineraries, flight confirmations, or other evidence relevant to the claim.

Managing a policy

Cover-More customers can manage an existing policy through the Cover-More self-service portal at selfservice.covermore.com.au.

The self-service portal can be used to review or update details such as traveller information, policy inclusions, and trip dates, and to cancel a policy.

Cover-More app

The Cover-More app is free and gives policyholders access to their policy details, an AI itinerary planner, destination information, safety and travel alerts, and the 24/7 emergency assistance team while travelling.

The app's “Assistance” button connects travellers directly to the emergency assistance team using voice over internet protocol (VoIP). This feature allows travellers to access help via Wi-Fi with internet access or mobile data.

Some features of the free Cover-More app are also available to non-policyholders, including destination information and the AI itinerary planner.

Travel alerts

Cover-More publishes travel alerts describing how world events may affect travel plans, traveller safety, or a travel insurance policy.

Cover-More directs travellers to the Australian Government's Smartraveller website for official travel advice before and during a trip.

Travellers should check Cover-More's travel alerts before buying a policy and before departure, since a known event at a destination can affect whether a related claim is covered, and can affect the availability of some cover choices (for example, Cancellation Plus Cover).
