Pregnancy Travel Insurance

InsureandGo makes it easy to obtain pregnancy travel insurance for expectant mothers who wish to travel.

Protecting yourself with travel insurance is incredibly important, especially when you are pregnant. InsureandGo offers one of the most comprehensive policies when it comes to pregnancy travel insurance, covering you if you are expecting a single child or multiple babies who were conceived naturally or via reproductive services.

What we Cover

Here at InsureandGo we provide emergency childbirth coverage: 

  • Up until your 30th week, for a single child pregnancy
  • Up until your 20th week, for a multiple child pregnancy

Cover for premature birth (more than 10 weeks before the expected delivery date, or 18 weeks if you know you are having more than one baby) includes the costs related to the birth and post-birth medical care; unfortunately at this stage we don’t offer any coverage for your baby. 

Any medical expenses related to specific pregnancy-related complications (listed below) are covered even after the cut-off mark for childbirth coverage.

You will also have trip cancellation and pre-paid expenses coverage for medically certified pregnancy-related cancellations (under Silver and Gold policies). This means you are covered in the event you need to cancel your trip if you become pregnant after we have sold you your policy, and you will be more than 30 weeks pregnant (or 20 weeks if you are expecting more than one baby) at the start of or during your trip. You are also covered if your doctor advises that you are not fit to travel because you are suffering from complications of pregnancy and childbirth.

Any claim that comes from pregnancy or childbirth must have confirmation from a qualified medical practitioner which states the claim is due to complications of pregnancy and childbirth. Accepted limited complications are explicitly listed in your PDS.

These benefits are a summary, so please see our PDS for full terms & conditions.
