Buy at home or while travelling, and claim online from anywhere in the world.

Whether you’re trekking through Banff Canada, surfing in Hawaii, or scuba diving off the coast of Thailand, or (not so) simply crossing the road in Vietnam, accidents or sickness can happen at any time during your trip. And if it’s bad enough, you may need to be repatriated for ongoing medical care.

Our 24/7 Emergency Assistance Teams, doctors and nurses have seen some horrific accidents and illnesses and have helped thousands of travellers be repatriated home so they can fully recover.

What’s covered

If you’ve selected the right policy for the activity you’re doing and it’s medically necessary, there’s cover in all of our policies for medical evacuation/repatriation by:

  • Air Ambulance
  • Sea Level Aircraft
  • Helicopter
  • Ground Ambulance
  • Commercial airline upgrade
  • Commercial airline with medical accompaniment

Depending on the policy you buy and your country of residence, there are limitations that will apply. So, it’s a good idea to do some research on where you’re going, so you can pick the policy that’s best for you.

How to get assistance

If you have private health insurance/private medical insurance that covers you while abroad, first contact your insurance provider and follow their emergency and claims procedures. If not, it’s essential that you get in contact with our 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team as soon as possible so that our team can support you from the time your fall sick or get injured until the time you're well again.

So that our 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team can assist you quickly, please be ready with the following:

  • Your policy number
  • A contact number for where you are now
  • The nature of your problem
  • Your location

This is only a summary of cover and does not include the full terms, conditions, limits, and exclusions of the policy. You should read your policy wording in full, so you understand what is and isn’t covered. If you are unsure about your level of travel cover, please contact us for help.
