Monica's Medical Mishap

30-year-old Monica was travelling through Germany with her partner when she slipped over on wet cobblestones outside her hotel. Monica attended a local hospital for treatment and found she had sustained a painful fracture from the fall. Fortunately, her Fast Cover travel insurance policy covered the $1,500 AUD bill for her x-rays and medical treatment.

Dave’s Damaged Device

After travelling from the United Kingdom to Germany for business, Dave was dismayed to find his laptop computer had been damaged during the flight. Even though he had taken reasonable steps to safeguard the laptop by stowing it in the overhead luggage compartment in a protective case, the screen was badly cracked. After returning home, he submitted an online claim with photos and supporting documentation from the airline and was compensated $775 AUD by his Fast Cover travel insurance policy.

Traveller Testimonials

Easy to set up and easy to claim

We have used FAST COVER TRAVEL INSURANCE for at least five of our trips. Firstly I get info and quote on computer, then I ring, set up and pay for our policy. Amazing helpful staff who advise me of a better sometimes cheaper option. Just so easy. We always feel peace of mind when using FAST COVER.

Lynny – Productreview.com.au

Very efficient and consumer friendly

Everything about this Travel Insurance is excellent. It had a very efficient and fast on-line application system which produced the policy, approved it and sent me a copy. If I needed to clarify something, it had a very helpful lady (forgot her name) who was prepared to listen and was extremely patient. She is an asset to the company. I had to make a claim as one of my bags got damaged during the journey. The claim procedure was very efficient and very prompt. It was approved and the funds deposited into my bank account within a very few days. I would recommend this policy to any and all travelers.

David – Productreview.com.au
