What does Fast Cover’s Indonesia Travel Insurance Cover?

This is only a summary of some benefits available. Each policy has specific terms, conditions, exclusions, and limits. Not all benefits apply to all policies, so always review the PDS before deciding.

Overseas Emergency Medical Evacuation and Repatriation Expenses in Indonesia

In case you are seriously injured or sick whilst in Indonesia, cover is available to cover the costs for the flight home or to get to the nearest hospital.^

24 Hour Emergency Medical Assistance

Fast Cover’s Australian-based emergency assistance hotline provides 24/7 support for unforeseen overseas medical emergencies with access to experienced medical support services arranged by our Emergency Assistance team, who you can call wherever you are in Indonesia, at any time. ^

Overseas Emergency Medical and Hospital Expenses in Indonesia

This benefit is available to provide protection against the financial burden of unexpected overseas emergency medical and hospital expenses associated  and with unexpected illness or injuries, incurred by you during your trip to Indonesia. ^

Trip Cancellation Expenses

You can take out an Indonesia travel insurance policy with cancellation cover up to 12 months before you travel. This can come in handy if you want to take measures to help protect the non-refundable bookings you’ve already paid, like flights, accommodation, cruises and tours, if you’re not able to travel to Indonesia due to an unexpected emergency that is covered under the policy.^

Travel Delay Expenses

Bad weather or airline operational issues can throw a spanner in the works on your holiday to Indonesia. This benefit is available to provide cover for reimbursement of reasonable additional meals and accommodation expenses up to $200 for each traveller (excluding dependants) for each 24 hour period if your scheduled transport is delayed for at least 6 hours from the time your transport was scheduled to depart. ^

Luggage and Personal Effects

This benefit is available to provide cover for loss, theft or damage to your luggage and personal belongings such as phones, cameras and laptops while you travel around Indonesia. Conditions including maximum cover limits, sub-limits on how much you can claim for each type of item and the situations in which we would provide cover apply. ^

Optional Extras for your Indonesia Travel Insurance

Fast Cover's optional add-ons allow you to customise your travel insurance policy so you can include cover for a range of activities and adventures in Indonesia.

Adventure Pack

Travellers aged 74 and under at the date of policy issue embarking on adventures throughout Indonesia’s unique landscapes and locations can add on the Adventure Pack for an additional premium to cover an extra list of adrenaline-pumping activities such as hiking between 3000m and 6000m, scuba diving to 30m, quad biking and more. ^

Motorcycle Pack

Riding a scooter is a great way to explore Indonesia, from the volcanic roads of Java to the winding trails of Bali’s countryside. Travellers aged 74 and under at the date of policy issue who want to ride or be a passenger on a scooter, moped or motorcycle, will need to add the Motorcycle Pack to their Indonesia travel insurance policy. ^

Cruise Cover

If you’re embarking on a cruise holiday in Indonesian waters for 4 nights or more, add our cruise cover to your Indonesia travel insurance policy for additional cover in case of unexpected emergencies on-board the cruise ship and during onshore excursions. ^

Ski and Snow Sports Cover

Travellers aged 69 and under at the date of policy issue planning to ski or snowboard in Indonesia in areas like Puncak Jaya can apply for Fast Covers ski and snow travel insurance, called the “Snow Sports Plus Policy”, which can provide cover for costs associated with ski and snow sports. ^

Specified High Value Items

If you would like to cover your valuable items for more than what they’re covered for under the standard luggage and personal effects terms and conditions, you can choose to specify them as a specified high value item for an additional premium. ^

Rental Vehicle Insurance Excess

Renting a car is a great way to explore Indonesia’s hidden gems at your own pace. If your rental vehicle is in an accident, damaged or stolen during your trip to Indonesia, Fast Cover can, depending on the policy chosen, provide additional cover of up to $8,000 for the rental vehicle insurance excess component of your rental vehicle insurance with your car hire company. ^ 

Cover for Existing Medical Conditions

If you have any existing medical conditions, you may be able to apply to include cover for them. Our simple medical screening process can be completed online or over the phone to help you find out if your condition can be covered.

Select Who Needs Cover

Once you've added all travellers, to your policy, you can select those who wish to add cover for any existing medical conditions.

Choose to Add Cover

We'll let you know if we can provide cover for any existing medical conditions. You can then choose to add it to your policy.

What is Not Covered in our Indonesia Travel Insurance?

It’s important to know not just what your travel insurance covers, but also what it doesn’t, so you can choose the right policy for your needs. As with all policies, many situations and activities will have terms, conditions, exclusions, limits and sub limits that you need to be aware of.

Here are some examples of when cover may not be available. Always check the PDS and TMD to understand the policy terms, conditions, exclusions, limits and sub limits before making your decision.

If you become injured while breaking the law

If you become injured while breaking the law, there are various conditions and exclusions that may apply which means you may not be covered. This could include riding a motorcycle without the required helmet, or while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Remember that possession of certain drugs are illegal inIndonesia. Using drugs or selling them can land you in trouble with the law in Indonesia.

If you are intoxicated or have taken illicit drugs

It’s not illegal to have a drink while in Indonesia, but if you’ve drunk alcohol excessively, there are certain exclusions that will likely apply. That means if you’re under the influence of alcohol and you stumble and hurt yourself, you may not have cover under your policy. 

Certain drugs are illegal in Indonesia and you may not be covered by your Indonesia travel insurance policy when you’ve taken drugs. Keep in mind that the legal drinking age in Indonesia is 21.

If you do an activity that isn’t covered by your policy

If you’re injured in an accident while for example, riding a moped and you didn’t add the Motorcycle Pack to your Indonesia travel insurance policy, you'll likely be responsible for paying your medical and hospital expenses because you did not choose to include cover for that under your policy. 

It is important to think about what activities you will be participating in so that you have the right cover for the activities you plan to do in Indonesia. 

Unsupervised belongings

If something of yours is stolen while unattended or unsupervised, you may not be able to claim for the stolen item. For example: If you leave your bag with your wallet and passport inside it on the beach while you go for a swim, this will be considered leaving your belongings unattended, in which case you may not be covered. 

Make sure you keep your belongings with you at all times or keep them in a secure location.

Regular medical or dental check-ups

There are exclusions that apply for regular or routine check-ups or filling regular prescriptions as they are not considered medical emergencies. If you require regular medication, bring enough of what you’ll need for your Indonesian holiday before you leave Australia.

Ignoring official warnings

Should the Australian Government release a warning on Smartraveller that certain areas in Indonesia are no longer safe to travel to and you still choose to travel there anyway, there may be exclusions that will apply such as if you do not follow advice in the mass media where a travel advisory risk rating of Do Not Travel was issued after policy purchase.

Known Events

Known events are serious situations, from natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis in Sulawesi and Lombok, to disease outbreaks, which can affect your holiday plans and also the cover on your travel insurance policy for Indonesia. 

If you buy your Indonesiatravel insurance after an event is deemed a “Known event”, the cover on your policy may be affected. You should check for any Travel Alerts that may have been issued for Indonesia so you know where you stand with regards to the cover that you will have on your Indonesia travel insurance policy. 

Disappointing holidays

Perhaps the weather was bad, you didn’t enjoy the food or your accommodation didn’t live up to the pictures online. Whatever the reason you’re unhappy with how your holiday has shaped up, your travel insurance policy for Indonesia is not intended to compensate you because you didn’t enjoy your time there.

What Our Travellers Are Saying

Got a Question?

For customers looking to get a quote or buy a policy for Fast Cover policies underwritten by certain underwriters at Lloyd’s, Indonesia is in the Asia region. 

Depending on the policy chosen, Travel Insurance for Indonesia can help to better prepare you to deal with unexpected and unforeseen circumstances such as injury or sickness as well as trip cancellation and disruption expenses. One way to prepare for this is by making international travel insurance for Indonesia a priority.  

Eligibility criteria, policy terms, conditions, exclusions and limits apply. Consider the PDS prior to deciding on which policy is right for you and your needs. 

Bali is an island of Indonesia, so if you are taking a holiday in Bali, select 'Indonesia (Bali)' or 'Bali' when buying your Bali travel insurance. A travel insurance policy for Bali will provide you with cover for travel throughout Indonesia.

If you are only in transit through Indonesia, you automatically have cover for up to 48 hours. Cover is only available for the countries or region you have selected at the time of purchase and listed on your Certificate of insurance. If you change your travel plans and decide to legally enter Indonesia, you may not be covered under your policy if Indonesia was not selected at the time of purchase and listed on your Certificate of insurance. You can apply to Fast Cover to add Indonesia to your policy to include cover and pay an additional premium. 

Eligibility criteria, policy terms, conditions, exclusions and limits apply. Consider the PDS prior to deciding on which policy is right for you and your needs.

The cost of travel insurance for Indonesia will vary depending on a person-to-person basis. This is because of various factors, including but not limited to the type of policy you choose for your trip to Indonesia, where you are travelling, the length of your trip, the time between purchase and departure, personal characteristics such as existing medical conditions and age, as well as any add-ons that you choose.  

To determine the cost of travel insurance for your upcoming trip to Indonesia, request a quote from Fast Cover today.  

Eligibility criteria, policy terms, conditions, exclusions and limits apply. Consider the PDS prior to deciding on which policy is right for you and your needs.

Regardless of the travel insurance policy that you choose for your overseas trip to Indonesia, one important benefit we include with all our international policies is the Overseas Emergency Medical and Hospital Expenses benefit. Since Australia doesn’t have a Reciprocal Health Care Agreement with Indonesia, you’ll likely be responsible for all your medical expenses if you unexpectedly fall sick or are injured while travelling in Indonesia. Having cover for these unexpected medical situations during your travels can potentially save you thousands of dollars. 

This benefit provides some protection against the financial burden of unexpected medical emergencies that can happen on your trip to Indonesia, from food poisoning, treatment for a broken bone or emergency surgery for appendicitis. You should be aware that cover isn’t available for all medical expenses, and some of these include (but are not limited to):   

  • medical emergencies related to your existing medical conditions which aren’t listed as covered on your certificate of insurance, 
  • planned medical procedures or other non-emergency medical treatments,  
  • routine medical or dental check-ups,   
  • injuries sustained from your participation in sport or leisure activities covered under the Adventure Pack or snow sports unless you’ve purchased additional cover for them, and 
  • your medical expenses once you’ve returned to Australia,  

so it’s important to review your policy to understand what is and isn't covered while you're in Indonesia and the terms and conditions that apply. 

You can apply for cover for your existing medical conditions and any changes in health and/or new medical conditions you may develop before you leave for Indonesia through a medical screening. Find out more about what we consider to be a medical condition and how you can apply for cover in our Travel Insurance for Existing Medical Conditions page. 

As each individual’s circumstances are different, we will assess each claim on a case by case basis and in accordance with your specific circumstances, policy terms and Certificate of Insurance. 

Any advice is general advice only and does not take into account your individual objectives, financial situation or needs. Consider the PDS as eligibility criteria, policy terms, conditions, exclusions and limits apply. 

To find the best travel insurance for your trip to Indonesia, you should look for a policy that suits the type of holiday that you're taking and consider the types of activities you will be doing and who you will be travelling with. Before you decide on your Indonesia travel insurance, you should read the PDS to check what the policy will and won’t cover you for, any conditions and exclusions that might apply to you and whether the policy provides the cover that you’re looking for.

Consider purchasing travel insurance for Indonesia when you book or pay for your flights, accommodation and tours. Fast Cover’s cancellation cover allows you to make a claim for trip cancellation expenses for non-refundable bookings you’ve already paid, like flights, accommodation, cruises and tours, if you’re not able to travel to Indonesia due to an unexpected emergency that is covered under your policy.  

Eligibility criteria, policy terms, conditions, exclusions and limits apply. Consider the PDS prior to deciding on which policy is right for you and your needs.

Indonesian river cruises are automatically covered under your Indonesia travel insurance policy so you won’t need to choose Cruise cover, for this type of cruise. 

Eligibility criteria, policy terms, conditions, exclusions and limits apply. Consider the PDS prior to deciding on which policy is right for you and your needs. 

Indonesia may be subject to natural disasters like volcanic eruptions and tsunamis. So, if you’re planning a trip to Indonesia, consider taking out a travel insurance policy as soon as you pay for your flights or accommodation in case you are forced to cancel your trip due to a natural disaster. Keep an eye on our Travel Alerts for Indonesia, travel advisories from Smartraveller and travel warnings from the Australia government.  

If you take out a travel insurance policy after the event has occurred, it is unlikely that there will be cover under the policy as the natural disaster will be a known event. The event must have begun after we issued the Certificate of insurance.  

Our trip cancellation expenses benefit is available to provide cover for cancellation, delays or rescheduling by a bus line, airline, shipping line or rail authority due to natural disaster.  

Our trip disruption expenses benefit is available to provide cover for when your scheduled or connecting transport is cancelled, delayed, shortened or diverted because of a natural disaster. 

As each individual’s circumstances are different, we will assess each claim on a case by case basis and in accordance with your specific circumstances, policy terms and Certificate of Insurance.  

Eligibility criteria, policy terms, conditions, exclusions and limits apply. Consider the PDS prior to deciding on which policy is right for you and your needs. 

In general, travel insurance policies would not likely cover a natural disaster that has already happened, or for which a travel alert is active. There would still likely be cover (provided you have purchased a policy with the required cover) for natural disasters that may occur after your policy is purchased. 

As each individual’s circumstances are different, we will assess each claim on a case by case basis and in accordance with your specific circumstances, policy terms and Certificate of Insurance.   

Eligibility criteria, policy terms, conditions, exclusions and limits apply. Consider the PDS prior to deciding on which policy is right for you and your needs.
