Frequently asked questions

Among the benefits you can claim are:

- cancellation and amendment fees due to travel restrictions being imposed on you after a natural disaster (except Last Minute policy)
- travel delay expenses if your outward or return trip by air or sea is delayed due to a natural disaster (except Last Minute policy).

Does travel insurance cover scooters and motorbikes?
Budget Direct policyholders can be covered for claims arising from two- and three-wheeled motor vehicles, as long as:
As the driver or passenger:
- you are wearing a helmet (regardless of the law of the country you’re in)
As the driver:
- you hold a licence appropriate for the country you’re in
- if using a motorcycle rated 125cc or higher, you hold a licence for driving the equivalent-rated motorcycle in Australia.
Does travel insurance cover rental / hire cars?
All Budget Direct’s travel insurance policies except Last Minute include cover for any rental-car insurance excess you become liable to pay.
The excess is the amount you’re required to pay towards a claim for any loss or damage to the rental car while it’s in your possession (it’s also known as a ‘damage liability fee’).
While it’s designed to limit your financial liability for the loss or damage, the excess can still be as much as several thousand dollars.
Our ‘Rental vehicle insurance excess’ benefit — ranging from up to $4,000 (Essential, Domestic) to up to $6,000 (Comprehensive, Annual Multi-Trip) — can cover most, if not all, of your liability.
(Even if you’re covered by us, you should still read your rental car agreement, so you’re aware of its terms and conditions and any exclusions.)
Which sports and activities does travel insurance cover?
Budget Direct travel insurance includes cover for more than 90 sports and activities and optional cover for more than 12 snow sports.
If I get into trouble overseas, will I be able to get help?
Yes – all Budget Direct’s international travel insurance policyholders get 24/7 access to a worldwide network of 75,000+ medical and emergency assistance providers.
These include multilingual medical and travel specialists, air ambulances and hospitals.
Whether you get sick or injured, lose your travel documents or credit cards, or are robbed, assaulted or arrested, we can get you the help you need.
Note that, if you suffer an illness or injury that requires emergency transportation, hospitalisation or repatriation and/or is likely to cost more than A$500 to treat, you (or someone else on your behalf) must call us as soon as possible.
