FAQ'S, cancellation

Travel Insurance can provide some protection when unforeseen events occur whilst you are travelling and can help cover unexpected expenses. Travel Insurance can provide some cover for things like theft, accidents, or medical problems. To find out more about the benefits of travel insurance, visit the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade website .

RAA Travel insurance is issued by Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co., Ltd (Tokio Marine & Nichido) ABN 80 000 438 291, AFSL 246548. Its managing agent, Tokio Marine Management (Australasia) Pty. Ltd. ABN 69 004 488 455 (TMMA) is authorised to act on behalf of Tokio Marine & Nichido to issue its policies and handle and settle claims in relation to those policies, subject to the terms of the authority. RAA (ABN 90 020 001 807, AR 228 575) is an authorised representative of TMMA.

You have 21 days from the day you purchase your policy to decide if the cover is right for you and suits your needs. If the policy doesn't meet your needs you can cancel your policy within the "cooling-off period" for a full refund, provided you:

• Haven't started your trip; and/or
• Haven't made a claim; and/or
• Don't intend to make a claim or exercise any other rights under your policy.

Just call us on 8202 4346 and we'll sort it out for you

You can extend your policy under certain conditions.

We'll extend the term of your cover for no additional cost if any delay is due to a reason which is covered under your policy.

For other reasons, you can apply to extend your International or Domestic Single-Trip policy by phoning us on 8202 4346 as soon as practicable prior to your original policy expiry date. Extension of cover is subject to the insurer's written approval and you will need to pay any applicable extra premium. If the insurer agrees to extend cover, you will be issued with a new Certificate of Insurance. The period of insurance on your new Certificate of Insurance, combined with your previous period of insurance, cannot be longer than a combined maximum period of 12 months. Applications to extend cover are subject to additional conditions. Please refer to the Product Disclosure Statement for further details.

Yes, you should list all countries to confirm that cover is available for the countries you are travelling to. You should also check the Smartraveller website as the insurer does not provide cover for any country or region which is the subject of a "Do Not Travel" advisory issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade prior to or after you purchasing your policy.

Cover for international and domestic river cruising is included automatically in the policy and you do not need to select the Cruise option to be covered.

If you are going on an ocean Cruise which stops at other countries, you will need to select International Cover and select each country where the cruise stops.

All Australian waters and international ocean cruising will require you to select the Cruise option to be covered while you are on your cruise. An extra premium is payable for cruise cover.

If you are going on an ocean cruise which is only in Australian waters or calling into ports in Australia and you still require a policy which includes medical cover whilst you are on board the ship as many on-board medical providers on cruises are not registered with Medicare (check with your cruise provider), you will need to select Australian Cruise as your destination. This will then allow the insurer to give you medical and evacuation cover whilst at sea but not if you go to a medical provider whilst in port in Australia. Please refer to the Product Disclosure Statement for further details.

Please note the Domestic policy does not include any medical cover as the insurer is a general insurer and cannot cover medical costs in Australia. Therefore the Domestic policy is not suitable for cruises if you require cover for on board medical treatment and evacuation.

An extra premium is payable for the Cruise cover option.

The maximum days allowed per trip is either 30, 45 or 60 days, depending on the policy you choose. You must select the appropriate number of days that will cover any single trip you may take during the 12 month period at the time of purchase. The days allowed per trip may be able to be increased to a longer duration during the period of the policy and an additional premium will apply. Contact us on 8202 4346 for more assistance.

You are covered for an unlimited number of trips over a 12 month period, provided that each trip is at least 250km from your home. The maximum days allowed per trip is either 30, 45 or 60 days, depending on the policy you choose.

If you purchase the Annual Multi-Trip plan, the Sums Insured under each of the sections of the policy are automatically reinstated on the completion of each trip.

This is an online set of medical questions (assessment) which you will need to complete if you wish to apply for travel insurance but have medical conditions which are not automatically covered under the policy. You can complete this as part of your travel insurance quote. Upon completion of this assessment, we will inform you if the medical condition is covered and any additional premium payable.

If something unexpected happens while you're overseas, we want to ensure we can help make it as stress free as possible. If you have an overseas medical emergency, contact our assistance team immediately (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) on 61 2 8055 1698 (reverse charges accepted from the overseas operator).

If you’re hospitalised, you (or a member of your travelling party) must get in touch with the team as soon as possible. If you don’t, the insurer may not pay for expenses, evacuation or airfares that haven’t been approved by them.

In the event that you’re not hospitalised, but the total cost of treatment will exceed $2,000, you need to contact the team as soon as possible. Again, the insurer might not pay for any expenses that haven’t been approved.

For any medical costs under $2,000, you need to keep all your medical reports and receipts. These will be used to support your claim when it's lodged.

The policies only cover medical expenses while you're overseas. The domestic policies don't include medical cover, as the insurer is prevented from paying costs that would be covered by Medicare or private health insurers. This also extends to any gap payments.
