Your travel insurance questions, answered
Do I need travel insurance?
In short - yes! Travel insurance is mandatory for most of the tours on TourRadar and is required to be purchased before you commence your tour. It can also cover you for medical emergencies, stolen luggage and with current COVID-19 restrictions changing all over the world, it's a good idea to have a safety net in case your plans change.
Why is travel insurance important?
Aside from covering you for medical expenses on your trip, stolen personal items and trip cancellations, travel insurance is there for you to reduce financial stress in case something unforeseen pops up and changes your holiday plans. Some things can be quite costly, so ensuring you have the appropriate coverage for your trip can be a life-saver!
Are there age limits for travel insurance?
Most travel insurance providers do have an age limit set in place, so it's best to double-check with your insurance provider to see if you're eligible. In general, there are many insurance companies around the world, so you're sure to find one that has the appropriate age range and policy for you.
How do I make a claim?
It depends on your travel insurance provider. It's a good idea to familiarise yourself with the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) of your policy to ensure you understand all inclusions, exclusions, and limitations before you leave for your trip. Make a note of their 24hr emergency phone number, as well as how to make a claim in case the unforeseen happens.
