Basics Travel Insurance
The Basics Plan is our most simple and affordable travel insurance cover. We’ve stripped it down to the bare essentials, without compromising on the quality of your cover for medical and hospital costs (subject to terms and conditions).
Basics Plan in brief*
If you fall ill or are injured while you are overseas, you could pay hundreds of dollars for even the most basic medical attention. If something more serious happens and you need specialist treatment or a stay in hospital, the costs could quickly mount into the thousands. With our Basics Plan travel insurance, you’ll have unlimited cover for medical assistance and expenses, anywhere in the world*~.
If the worst happens while you’re travelling and you need help, we’re here. Simply call our 24-hour global assistance line - from anywhere, at any time - and our expert team will help you locate medical facilities, embassies or consulates; get in touch with your family; or organise an evacuation home.
All sorts of things can happen when you’re on the move, and if you accidentally hurt someone or damage their property you could be liable for thousands of dollars in damages. Our basics travel insurance comes with personal liability cover of up to $1m, so you can enjoy your travels with increased peace of mind.
All our travel insurance products have a 14-day cooling off period, so if you change your mind you can simply cancel your policy and get a full refund, provided you haven’t commenced your journey and you haven’t made, and don’t intend to make, a claim or commenced your trip.

When you’re travelling on a budget you need to spend wisely and prioritise the things that matter most. Our Basics plan gives you medical cover only, therefore if you choose to only have a medical policy this may be an option for you.
