Domestic Cancellation

Easy Travel Insurance is Australian-owned and operated. It is administered by Cover-More Insurance Services Pty Ltd on behalf of the product issuer, Zurich Australian Insurance Limited.

The cooling-off period is 21 days, which means you'll be given a full refund of your premium provided you haven't started your trip or made a claim.

If you're travelling internationally, you can choose your own excess. This is the amount you're required to pay when you make a claim.

      Hi Diane,

      Thank you for your question.

      You have contacted finider.com.au, a comparison and information service and not actually Easy Travel Insurance.

      Easy Travel Insurance has $6,000 limit for individual item. To learn more, we have prepared an article that discusses how to protect expensive items when travelling.

      Please make sure though to read the eligibility criteria, features and details of the policy, as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statement PDS/T&C’s of the policy before making a decision and consider whether the product is right for you. If necessary, speak to the insurance brand to verify any details.

      Cheers,
      Zubair
