If you are someone who travels multiple times a year, then an Annual Multi-Trip (AMT) policy may be ideal for you. Instead of having to purchase a Single Trip plan every time you jet off, consider an AMT so you are protected for 12 months up to the journey duration of your choice. This means you may not have to take out a new plan each time you travel. Check out our Annual Multi-Trip travel insurance page for useful tips and information.
An Annual Multi-Trip policy provides you with travel insurance over a 12-month period. It saves you the hassle of taking out a new policy every time you travel further than 250 km from home. You are covered for an unlimited number of journeys throughout the year, up to the trip duration selected on your AMT. An AMT is not 12 months of continuous cover, as each trip can only be up to 60 days – which is the maximum international trip duration you can choose. If you are a frequent traveller who takes multiple trips a year, then you may find an AMT policy is an affordable solution for protecting your travels.
No. We recommend you look into purchasing a Single Trip policy if you do not intend on returning home after each individual trip. A Single Trip policy can offer coverage for up to 12 to 18 months (depending on your destination) and is valid the whole time you are overseas.
An AMT policy will protect the individual trips you take throughout the year, as long as each journey does not exceed the maximum trip duration you selected. You will need to return home after each trip for coverage to apply.
You can buy an AMT through our website or by calling us on 1300 72 88 22. To get a quote online:

You can take an unlimited number of journeys using your AMT travel insurance, provided you are at least 250km from your home. For cover to apply, you need to ensure each individual trip is not longer than the maximum trip duration you selected when finalising your plan.
For an International AMT policy, you can choose a maximum trip duration of either 30, 45 or 60 days. If you are interested in a Domestic AMT, then you can select a maximum trip duration of either 15 or 30 days. Each separate trip you take using an AMT policy cannot exceed the duration you have selected.
If you have already bought your AMT policy and want to increase your selected trip duration, call us on 1300 72 88 22 to arrange this. You may be able to increase the maximum trip duration on your policy or alternatively you could take out a separate single trip policy to insure that specific trip.
No. You do not have to inform us every time you go on a trip. As long as your holiday is less than the maximum trip duration you selected and is in the destination region of cover you chose, you are protected by your AMT.
Yes. For you to be covered using an AMT policy, you will need to be at least 250km from your home.
We have given you the option to select the excess amount that works best for your budget! For international AMT policies, you can choose an excess amount of $0, $100 or $250. If you are purchasing a domestic AMT, a set $50 excess applies. Remember that the higher the excess, the lower the premium. Excess is the first part of a claim we will not pay and it is applied to each claimable event.
If you do not have your travel plans for the year finalised, then you may want to consider selecting ‘Anywhere in the world’ as your destination. You are then protected if you visit a country you had not intended to when you purchased your AMT. Alternatively, you can select the region you think you will be travelling to, and we can look at upgrading your policy to a larger area of travel later on if necessary.
This depends on what you want to change. Give us a call on 1300 72 88 22 to discuss. We can only arrange upgrades such as adding cancellation cover, upgrading the area of travel or increasing the maximum trip duration. However, we are not able to downgrade your AMT policy for things like reducing your area of travel.
Yes, an international AMT policy with the region ‘Anywhere in the world’ will include cover for domestic trips provided they are more than 250km from your home. The Overseas Medical and Dental Expenses benefit is not applicable for domestic trips.
No. We only offer Premium AMT plans for our customers. That just means more policy benefits for you to enjoy.
Yes. You will need to pay the full premium for your AMT plan upfront. We do not accept partial payments. Remember that coverage for some policy benefits, like cancellation cover, start as soon as you purchase your travel insurance.
Yes. You must be under 74 years of age to buy an international AMT. For Domestic AMT policies, you can purchase a plan up to 99 years of age.
We look at the relevant time to determine whether your condition is a new medical condition or an existing one. The relevant time on your Annual Multi-Trip policy is the policy issue date, or the time you first started booking your trip - whichever happens last.
If a new medical condition is diagnosed during the year your AMT is in place, it will be considered an existing medical condition for any trips you book in future. Where the condition arose after the policy was issued/the relevant trip was first booked, we will consider this to be a new medical condition for those specific trips (i.e. cover would apply automatically once you are confirmed fit to travel by your doctor.) You will need to contact us either way to complete an assessment over the phone by calling 1300 72 88 22.
Good news! Coverage under the Amendment or Cancellation Costs benefit begins from the time you purchase your AMT policy. The departure date for your first trip selected on the policy is when full coverage begins (i.e. when you can travel), so coverage will not end until 12 months from that departure date.
The cancellation cover you select for your AMT is the amount of cover available for each trip. Each journey on an AMT is treated like its own individual policy in the sense that benefits under each section of your AMT are automatically reinstated after each trip.
You may cancel your AMT and receive a full refund if you let us know within the cooling off period – this is within 15 working days from the date of purchase. We will give you your money back provided you do not intend to make a claim under the policy, have not departed on your journey and have informed us within the cooling off period.
No, you will not be able to get a refund for your AMT plan outside of our cooling-off period. If you only travel once while covered by your AMT, your policy has been used and we have accepted the risk to insure you in line with our PDS. Therefore, no refund is available.
The maximum number of people you can have on an AMT is 2 adults and 4 accompanied children. Accompanied children means your children or grandchildren who are identified on the Certificate of Insurance and travelling with you on the Journey. This is provided they are not in full-time employment, they are financially dependent on you and they are under the age of 21 years.
Adults can travel independently of each other, but any accompanied children on the policy need to be travelling with a listed adult at all times. Accompanied children are defined as your children or grandchildren who are listed on the travel insurance plan. They must be under 21 years of age, finanically dependent on you and not in full-time employment.
If your policy has already started, we cannot add another traveller to your AMT. If the policy has not yet begun, then you can contact us or your travel agent to request an upgrade to add another traveller.
