    I hold an ANZ Platinum Visa credit card. Am I eligible to apply as I meet all the requirements? How do I apply for travel insurance from here?

      Hi Ian,

      Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.

      If you have an ANZ Platinum credit card, yes it has complimentary travel insurance. You do not have to apply for or activate your card’s complimentary travel insurance given that you have used your ANZ Platinum credit card to pay for some of your trips, for at least AUD$250 and you meet the other requirements listed on this page.

      I hope this helps.

      Thank you and have a wonderful day!

      Cheers,
      Jeni

    Hi, for the Vehicle Insurance, I am hiring a rental car in Italy for 7 days, do I still need to take car insurance or does the ANZ Complimentary Travel Insurance just cover the excess? Do I have to pay on the car insurance that I take out?

    Thanks.

      Hi Mark,

      Thank you for contacting Finder.

      The ANZ Credit Card Complimentary Travel Insurance has a cover for the Rental Vehicle Excess which will start upon your departure in Australia and will end on your return. You must meet the following conditions:

      * the vehicle is from a registered rental company
      * the damage is caused by accident, storm, fire or theft
      * you will be the driver for the rental vehicle

      I hope this helps.

      Please do not hesitate to reach out again to us.

    I intend to spend more than $250 in Australia to pay fees for Visa as required by certain countries . If I pay the fees with my participating ANZ credit card, will I get the complimentary Travel insurance cover.

    This is because the airfares, transport and accommodation have already been paid with a non-ANZ credit card.

      AshAugust 13, 2019

      Hi Khanh,

      Thank you for contacting Finder.

      For the $250, you may not use it to pay for your Visa as to be eligible for the Complimentary Travel Insurance you may only spend it on either:

      * Transport costs (airfares and/or cruises)
      * Land content costs (tours, hire cars or other hired transport and accommodation)

      They have not publish a specific list of countries where you are restricted to use the Complimentary Travel Insurance. You may call ANZ directly to confirm whether the country where you are heading to is covered.

      I hope this helps.

      Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have additional questions.

      Cheers,
      Ash

    From reading a previous response regarding the cut-off age for cover using my Platinum ANZ Credit Card, can you confirm that as long as I book my travel whilst I’m 80 years old, I will be covered by insurance even if my by return date I have had my 81st birthday?

      Default Gravatar
      AshAugust 10, 2019

      Hi Shirley,

      Thank you for contacting Finder.

      No, you need to be 80 years old or lower once you have activated the Complimentary Travel Insurance which means once you depart Australia since this will be the basis of the start of your policy. According to the Terms and Conditions, your policy will start upon you depart in Australia and will end upon your return.

      I hope this helps.

      Please do not hesitate to reach out again to us if you have additional questions.

      Cheers,

    I have had a ANZ platinum card for many years and have never claimed anything on the free travel insurance. I will be 80 next year and am in good health. Is my travel insurance still applicable after I reach 80 years old.

      NikkiAugust 8, 2019

      Hi Roland,

      Thanks for getting in touch!

      I checked our pages and it shows that the age limit for the ANZ credit card is 80 years of age or under on the day you activated the insurance policy. If you are still looking for travel insurance options, you may enter your travel details in our seniors travel insurance quote engine. This will allow you to compare quotes from different insurers. As a friendly reminder, carefully review the Product Disclosure Statement of the product before applying. You may also contact the insurance provider should you have any questions about their policy.

      Hope this was helpful. Don’t hesitate to message us back if you have more questions.

      Best,
      Nikki
