Don't Forget To Take Out World Travel Insurance.

International travel costs, even when you use the most economical alternatives. Whether you're travelling as a solo backpacker, or in a group of backpackers, or first class all the way, regard travel protection as your most important accessory and never be tempted to opt for the cheapest alternative at the expense of performance and reliability.

1 Cover do provide cheap worldwide travel insurance, BUT it never comes at the cost of your safety or long-term financial security. An accident, a medical condition, lost luggage or theft can happen anywhere but when you're far from home it can be most devastating, can possibly cause cancellation or costly interruption to your plans and, should evacuation be required, be financially crippling. Even more so when you are overseas on a world wide travel adventure.

Think of the peace of mind you will have with these safety nets:

• 24/7 emergency contact from anywhere in the world, and world-wide support through Allianz Global Assistance Group, the largest assistance group in the world with 35 call centres across 28 countries


• Unlimited overseas emergency medical assistance and overseas medical, hospital and dental expenses plus up to $50,000 towards additional expenses.


• Cover for accidental death, permanent disability, loss of income, loss of luggage, travel documents, credit cards, cheques and cash, delayed or disrupted travel, rental vehicle excess and the list goes on and on. We also provide medical cover for a wide range of sports including white water rafting, snow boarding and scuba diving.

Oh, we know, it sounds like nothing but doom and gloom when in fact chances are greatest that you will have the best time of your life. Compared to the overall cost of your worldwide travel, insurance comes at a very cheap rate for the massive benefits and reassurance it provides. Make securing world-wide travel insurance one of the first things on your 'To Do' list, then go get started on all the fun bits.
