travel insurance FAQs 

  • What Happens If I Miss My Flight Or If Flights are Delayed/Cancelled?
  • In the first instance, you should contact the airline to see if any alternate arrangement can be made or if any compensation may be offered.  You should retain any documentation provided by the airline or receipts for any out-of-pocket expenses which you may incur as a result of the delay or cancellation so that you can submit them should you need to make a claim. We do not cover for cancellation, delays or rescheduling which are at the fault of the airline as the responsibility falls on the transport provider to supply you with the services you have paid them for. Please see more information about travel insurance and cancellation cover.

  • What if my luggage is lost or delayed by my airline?
  • We will reimburse you up to $250 if any items of your Luggage & Personal Effects are delayed, misdirected or misplaced by a carrier for more than 12 hours. We do not cover for any loss or damage to items after you have checked them into the hold and until you have collected them again from the luggage conveyor as the transport carrier is at fault for their loss or damage and you should seek compensation from them. See more information about luggage cover.

  • What Happens If I Get Sick Or Injured Overseas?
  • If you're travelling internationally, 1Cover offers Emergency Medical Assistance anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. If you’re sick or injured, we advise that you or a member of your travelling party call our medical assistance team as soon as possible. 

    For minor ailments, such as those that only require a GP visit, you may choose to visit a doctor, pay for your visit upfront, and then submit your claim either from overseas or once you return home. Make sure that you keep all receipts and reports from your treating doctor, including the diagnosis and treatment notes and any other documents.

  • What if i ride a scooter or Motorcycle overseas?

  • If you need to cancel your trip, notify any travel providers (airlines, accomodation, tour providers, etc) of your intention to cancel.
