What Will I Not be Covered For?
It is important that our customers read our full insurance policy terms, provisos, exclusions, and conditions for full details regarding their international travel insurance coverage. Note that you need to be in Australia at the time of purchasing your insurance. If you are overseas, we are unable to offer you new or different insurance. If you need to extend the dates of your existing cover, simply send an email to: info@insureandgo.com.au and find out whether you’re eligible.
Below are some instances where you may not be covered during your travels.
- Pre-Existing Medical Conditions: InsureandGo considers all pre-existing medical conditions so long as they are reported at time of purchase. Failure to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions may void any claim relating to that condition.
- Travel Delays/ Connecting Flights: Our policies only cover your flight departing and arriving to Australia directly. If your flight is delayed, and you book an alternative flight, we do not cover the cost of your new flight. Unfortunately, we also do not cover connecting flights.

Note that there is no coverage for costs incurred relating to a natural disaster if an event is already known prior to purchasing a policy.
