In today's world, travel insurance is almost mandatory. Medical bills can skyrocket, expensive equipment and baggage can be lost or stolen, and travel plans can be changed or cancelled without adequate notice.

The total premium for a week's Doubles Cover is AUD$108.80; the coverage includes Additional Expenses ($20,000); Return of Hire Car and Excess Waiver, Cancellation Fees (whatever they are); Luggage and Travel Documents ($5,000); Accidental Death and Disability ($20,000); and Liability ($1 Million).

Worldcare Travel Insurance provides comprehensive coverage at a low cost. There is a total premium of AUD$73 for a week's Doubles Cover, which includes Cancellation Fees and Lost Deposits, Additional Expenses, Accidental Death, Luggage and Personal Effects, Travel Delay Allowance, Personal Liability, Rental Vehicle, and Domestic Services. The coverage begins when you leave your home and travel directly to your point of departure and ends when you return home.

NRMA Travel Insurance provides coverage options for both single and family travellers. And, with a 24-hour Worldwide Emergency Hotline service, assistance is never far away. A week of coverage costs AUD$63.22 for a single traveller and includes overseas medical, dental, and associated accommodation/traveling expenses; resumption of overseas journey if you have to return to Australia; payment of hire car excess waiver; trip cancellation expenses if you are unable to travel; lost or stolen luggage and travel documents; accidental death or disability and loss of income; and legal liability for injuries to a third person or property.

When filing a claim, the traveller must notify the travel insurance company as soon as possible and provide all necessary information to support the claim, such as original medical or police reports, declarations, receipts, valuations, or other evidence of ownership. This will aid in the smooth processing of the claim.
