How can I compare trekking insurance?

When you compare travel insurance for trekking, you shouldn’t just look at the price of the trekking travel insurance, as the cover  offered may differ between insurance providers. 

To find the best value travel insurance for your trekking holiday, you should also check: 

• The benefits that the trekking travel insurance policy can provide you 
• If you need to complete a medical screening for your existing medical conditions 
• What can’t be covered in your travel insurance for trekking, for example, what altitudes are covered by which policy or cover 
• If the travel insurance for trekking is able to cover you for the type of trekking and other activities that you’re planning on doing 
• If evacuation cover is provided when you do your trek overseas 

Please always  read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) carefully in detail before deciding whether you need travel insurance and which policy is right for you.
