When should I buy Comprehensive travel insurance?

Comprehensive travel insurance can be purchased any time before you start your trip. The timing is up to you. Some travellers choose to buy as soon as they book flights or accommodation, while others wait until closer to departure. 

It’s important to note that the cancellation benefit begins from the moment you purchase your policy. This means that if a covered event happens after you’ve taken out cover but before you depart, you may be able to claim for cancellation costs in line with your policy. 

Every claim is reviewed individually on a case-by-case basis and will only be paid if it meets the terms, conditions, limits, and exclusions in your policy. Always check the PDS carefully so you know exactly what’s included before you travel.
