The best travel insurance policy will depend on your individual travel plans, preferences, and coverage needs as well as your personal and financial circumstances. What may be “best” for one traveller could be unsuitable for another. Factors to consider among other things which might be important for you, may include your destination, trip length, the value of your bookings, any pre-existing medical conditions, and the types of activities you’ll be doing.

Rather than relying only on rankings or reviews, it’s important to compare policies based on what they cover, their benefit limits, exclusions, optional extras, and the overall value they offer for your circumstances.

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.

To buy travel insurance with Fast Cover, simply visit fastcover.com.au, enter your trip details (like dates, destination, and traveller information, etc.), and you’ll receive a personalised quote. You can then choose your preferred policy and complete the purchase online. 

If you’d like help, you can also contact our team by emailing info@fastcover.com.au or calling 1300 409 322 during business hours, and we’ll guide you through the process.
