For most, overseas travel is a rewarding experience. No one plans for things to go wrong, but unfortunately, sometimes they do. Being prepared for such problems is essential. That is why travel insurance protection is vital.
In most cases holidays run smoothly, but there are risks that come with travelling abroad. For example, the cost of changing or cancelling hotel accommodation and flights if you lose your passport or the cost of medical treatment should you become ill. Last year, the Department of Foreign Affairs handled over 20,000 cases involving Australians in difficulty overseas. Many of these cases involved Australians travelling with no or inadequate insurance cover and as a result are now faced with a long-term financial burden. You can't really afford to travel without insurance.
