Comprehensive travel insurance policies usually offer cover for :
- emergency medical assistance
- lost luggage
- travel delays
- travel documents
- and more!
However, different comprehensive insurance policies offer different amounts for coverage, and they even differ in exactly what’s covered, so it’s well worth looking at several different policies.

All quotes are for 50 year old resident of Australia for a two week trip to Bali. Just a note – because policies and coverage can change without warning, make sure you check your own, individual policy!
