      Hi Wendy,

      Thanks for getting in touch! This card comes with premium benefits, including complimentary insurance for overseas trips, interstate flights and rental car excess payment. Please note that car rental excess will only reimburse any collision excess that you have paid under any rental vehicle agreement with a car rental company to hire a rental vehicle registered in Australia, including its external territories. It does not include overseas coverage.

      We suggest to contact ANZ or Allianz insurance to double check on this information.

      Best,
      Nikki

    What constitutes a pre-existing condition which must be advised? Does not having a spleen, i.e. being a fully vaccinated spleenectomised patient constitute as a pre-existing condition. How to apply to have this recognised?

      Hi Terence,

      Thank you for getting in touch with finder.

      Please note that the ANZ credit card complimentary travel insurance is underwritten by Allianz Australia Insurance. Kindly contact them directly to discuss your pre-existing medical condition and have a medical assessment. In the event that your medical condition is approved and you choose to get cover, you’ll have to pay an administration fee.

      I hope this helps.

      Thank you and have a wonderful day!

      Cheers,
      Jeni

    We are travelling to Cocos Islands in June and hiring a vehicle on arrival.
    Does this insurance cover the excess on vehicle collision damage?
    We are both in the age group around 70 yrs. We are to pay for accommodation and if we pay for this with our credit card, are we covered?
    Airfares have already been paid (not from credit card) and Vehicle hire is payable on arrival. (will pay from Credit card)

      Hi Shirley,

      Thanks for getting in touch with finder. I hope all is well with you. :)

      The Rental excess cover of ANZ’s complimentary insurance will provide you with up to $5,000 for rental collision excess costs within Australia. It has an excess payment of $350 per event. ANZ considers Cocos Island as an overseas travel. For this reason, you might not be covered by ANZ since their rental excess cover is only available within Australia.

      Regarding your second question, you can activate ANZ travel insurance by paying for your accommodation and car rental. Make sure that you spent at least $250 on your card. You can learn more how to activate ANZ’s travel insurance by reading the information under the subheading “What are the eligibility requirements?” You can find this information above this page.

      It would also be a good idea to directly get in touch with ANZ to obtain a more personalised answer.

      I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.

      Have a wonderful day!

      Cheers,
      Joshua
