it’s never fun to think that sometimes things can take an unexpected turn when abroad, but making sure you have a good policy that suits your needs in place before you go, can ease some of the stress should disaster strike. so, when choosing the travel insurance policy most suitable for your trip, you should make sure the policy offers enough cancellation cover, has enough cover for lost or stolen possessions (this is especially important considering you’ll be on the other side of the world), includes emergency medical expenses and offers cover for any sports and activities that you may get up to during your trip, this might mean buying a specialised sports policy. it’s really easy to find a policy that matches your needs on albert & eddie. just let us know a few details about you and your trip, and we’ll match you with on of our brands that can meet your travel needs.

Australia is home to so many sports and activities. you can scuba-dive and snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, off-road on Fraser Island, surf at the famous Bondi Beach and even sky dive or bungee jump in most cities across the country. some sports and activities are covered as standard under a selection of our brands on albert & eddie. however, it’s always important to check that you have suitable cover in place for your planned activity.

what you may find is that for more adventurous activities, such as sky diving or bungee jumping, you’ll need an extreme sports policy or even policy add-on. that’s ok – we have specialist extreme sports policies on our panel too – so if you are up for taking part in more daring activities, just let us know and we’ll point you in the direction of one of our brands who can cover these needs.
