If you’re a senior – aged 60 or over – travelling overseas to visit family and friends, going on a cruise, or grey nomading around Australia, we’ve got cover to suit your needs and budget – right up to your 100th birthday.
With Budget Direct, your partner and dependent grandchildren can all be insured under one policy, saving you time and money.
All our international travel insurance policies cover what’s most important – your health and safety – with unlimited cover for overseas emergency medical and hospital expenses.
And if you’re travelling within Australia, we’ve got a policy that insures you against things like cancellation of your trip, lost luggage and personal effects, and rental vehicle insurance excess.
Depending on your level of cover, your benefits can include:
| Cancellation of your trip: If you have to cancel your holiday due to unforeseen circumstances – such as an illness, accident or job loss – we’ll cover the cost of prepaid travel, accommodation, meals, tours, activities, and visas. | Yes |
| Overseas medical and hospital expenses: If you or your partner fall ill or are injured during your overseas trip, we’ll give you unlimited cover for your emergency medical and hospital expenses. This includes the cost of your return to Australia earlier than planned, if medically necessary. | Yes |
| Luggage and personal effects: If your luggage or personal effects (e.g. jewellery, camera, mobile phone) get lost, stolen or damaged during your vacation, we’ll pay you up to $7,500†. | Yes |
| Rental vehicle insurance excess: If you hire a car on your holiday and it’s damaged or stolen, we’ll pay you up to $6,000 to cover the hire-car insurance excess. | Yes |
| Pre-existing medical conditions: Automatic cover for 27 pre-existing medical conditions. (If your pre-existing medical condition is not covered, you would still be covered for any unforeseen medical expenses not related to your condition.) | Yes |
