Business Travel Insurance
If you're one of nearly three million Australians who travel for work each year, a business travel insurance policy should be at the top of your to-do list.
Your employer may be paying for your accommodation and transport, but chances are it's up to you to make sure you're covered in case you become ill, your flights are delayed or your belongings get damaged, stolen or lost.
Whether you're travelling interstate for meetings, flying overseas for an important conference, or jetting off on a working holiday, make sure you tick business travel insurance off your task list.

Who should get business travel insurance?
While travelling for business can involve fantastic accommodation and the best seats on the flight, things can also go wrong.
Accidents can happen anywhere and at any time. Laptops can be broken or stolen, luggage can be misplaced and flights can be cancelled.
However, travel insurance may be able to help in these times of stress.
Get your travel insurance quote today if you are:
Meeting corporate clients away from home
Visiting another business or worksite
Planning to work for your company in another country for up to 24 months
If you're lucky enough to squeeze in some playtime around your work schedule, we’ll cover you for that too!
If you travel overseas regularly for work or in combination with personal trips, a Frequent Traveller Saver policy may be the most cost-effective travel insurance option for you.
This multi-trip policy allows you to take an unlimited number of trips overseas within a 12 month period, and there's the option of adding on cover for your spouse, partner, and dependant children or grandchildren so they can accompany you on one or multiple trips.
Why should you get business travel insurance?
Fast Cover's business travel insurance has been designed to cover you for what matters most whilst you’re working away from home.
Depending on what level of cover you choose, we can provide cover for things such as:
- Your personally owned (not company owned) equipment, laptops, smartphones, tablets, cameras, even your glasses!
- Emergency medical treatment overseas and other associated expenses
- Your travel, covering delays and cancellations
- Loss of income cover if you are unable to work when you return home due to an injury or illness sustained on your trip
Plus all of our policies include the support of our 24 hour Emergency Assistance team anywhere in the world.
Why choose Fast Cover for your business trip?
Fast Cover provides simple and flexible insurance policies for professionals and business travellers.
We understand that busy business travellers just want the best quality travel insurance for the best price, so we've made the process as fast and simple as possible.
Our travel insurance can provide cover for many existing medical conditions, just in case the unexpected happens on your trip. Check out our Medical Conditions page for more information about medical screening for your existing medical and pregnancy conditions including information about the General Exclusions that may apply*.
There's also no need to list every single country you're intending to travel to. Simply select the region you need and you're automatically covered for the countries included in that region, as well as the regions below it.
For example, if you're travelling to Asia, you're automatically covered for travel within the South Pacific, New Zealand and Domestic regions as well.
With extensive specialist experience in the travel insurance industry, we can help you build a policy that provides cover for the things that are most important to you, wherever you are travelling next for business.
Note: We offer travel insurance for many countries but we are unable to offer travel insurance for travel to every country. To check which countries that may be covered, enter your destination country in the quote.
