I found Cover-More to be very efficient. The entire process was easy to understand, reasonable and fair. The staff were friendly, efficient and kept me informed of what was happening. Their requests were clear. They were helpful and tried to help make the process smooth and stress free. Show details
We are a couple in our 70's. We had to cancel our overseas trip due to unexpected illness the day before we were due to travel. Our claim was significant as it covered a two week luxury tour and a further month of hotel costs and different forms of transportation. Cover-More was notified as soon as we were informed that travel would not be… Read more · 2
possible and we began to get documentation ready for the claim. They were at all times helpful and courteous and kept us informed on the progress of the claim. They worked within the time frames that they had explained once they received the claim. Would absolutely use them again and highly recommend the company. Great service!
I had a medical emergency which resulted in $600++ worth of payments and only got quoted $150 back from cover more, really disappointing, am trying to dispute this now. I understand people try cut corners, but for people like me who do the right thing, it is sad to not be compensated correctly Show details

A Jubilee Celebration with a Nasty Twist! I acquired the flu after a week of wonderful celebrations at a schools 70th Jubilee…. I was diagnosed and treated the night before having to catch my flight back home from Fiji. Within days of returning I received a “Welcome home” email from Cover-More Travel Insurance and as I scrolled down the page… Read more · 1
there was a link for a claims form. Perfect! I didn’t have to look for, search the internet web site….they made it so easy! At the very beginning of the page they give clear instructions as to how and what is needed to make a claim. It took a week for the relevant medical report to arrive from the presiding doctor. I had begun the process of filling out the form as there is a tab where you can Save your information and return to it at a later date to complete. Which I did. There is a section for downloading related documents required making that process less stressful and streamlined. If you need to go back to the previous page the Back button is available. A notice is emailed to your email address informing you that the claim has been received. I only waited less that ten days for a response informing me my claim had been accepted, the information showed the currency conversion and the deduction of my original choice of Excess Deduction with the amount payable into my Bank Account. I have used quite a number of Travel Insurance Companies over the years and have never had to claim anything, it was a piece of mind thing to do. This was the second time I have used Cover-More Travel Insurance and have no hesitation recommending them. I am definitely going to use Cover-More Travel Insurance on my next travel. I found this to be a very positive experience. Good customer service, care and support. Easy streamlined website to use. Thank you Cover-More!
I took insurance with Cover-More before attempting a climb to the summit of Mt Kilimajaro in Tanzania, Africa. The 10 day climb by the Northern Route was in October, 2025. Setting up the policy was easy and I did it all on-line. I had a medical issue one day from the summit requiring evacuation by helicopter. Submitting the insurance claim was… Read more · 1
straightforward and Cover-More approved the claim. It took about 3.5 months to obtain approval but the delay was because I thought I had forwarded an additional, requested document but when Cover-More emailed me why they hadn't heard from me, I discovered I had not done so. Upon receipt of that document, Cover-More were quick in approving the claim. This was my first time using Cover-More. I am very happy with the service provided.
I had a fall in Bali in December 2024 which resulted in lacerations and a badly broken nose. I was admitted to the BIMC Hospital for a few days, and needed surgery. CoverMore reviewed my x-rays, recommended surgery in Bali because of the nature of the injury, and dealt directly with the hospital in approving all charges. Further, they had… Read more · 1
good knowledge of the hospital and resolved my questions about the risks of surgery while overseas. They preapproved the hospital charges and regularly checked on my progress by phone. After I returned to Australia, they also approved my additional medical expenses paid for in cash during the holiday. They saved my trip, and there was no need to return to Australia early. CoverMore was simply outstanding! Thank you.
The best we could have hoped for – My wife and I took out standard travel insurance for an urgent economy trip to Auckland from Perth on ANZAC day 2024. The policy was not overpriced but has saved us a lot of money. My wife broke her ankle the day after arriving in Auckland. As highly inconvenient this all was for us, Travel More Insurance quickly and efficiently covered all our… Read more · 1
extra out of pocket expenses once we had provided them with all our details.
We will continue to use Cover More services for future trips and have already recommended them to friends and family.
Thank you.
Call Centre good, website crashed with 14 medical conditions – I used the call centre only because the website quoting system crashed when 3+11 (a couple) medical conditions were input for assessment. The call centre agent was patient and helpful, and a successful quote was achieved and finalised. Show details · 1

Taking the stress out of a holiday – After a long trip from Australia to London UK my wife developed a suspected DVT. We contacted the Covermore medical helpline, and they were absolutely marvelous. They recommended that we seek medical attention at a hospital near the hotel that we… Read more · 1
were based. They even assisted in finding the hospital for us. Even after our hospital visit they checked up on my wife's condition for the next few days. They advised us to keep all receipts and to lodge a claim on our return to Australia. Our claim was done on-line, and we provided all the paperwork that was requested. Our claim was successful and was processed within 5 or 6 business days. The process was straightforward, and we were only out of pocket for the excess that we selected when we took the policy out. Overall, we cannot thank Covermore enough for the way in which they helped us with everything. We will continue to use Covermore for our future travel.
Follow-up · Since writing my original review I have used Covermore on a couple of occasions without the need to make a claim. Covermore is still my company of choice for travel insurance. In my original review I mentioned that Covermore provided assistance in recommending a hospital close to the hotel where we were staying. It was only a short taxi ride away.… Read more

I can't speak highly enough of Cover-More and the support they provided during a very difficult time. While overseas, I unexpectedly required surgery after a motorbike accident and was left in a challenging situation. From the moment I contacted Cover-More, their team was incredibly helpful, supportive, and professional. They went above and… Read more · 1
beyond to assist me with my claim and made what should have been a very stressful experience much easier to deal with.
Not only did they cover all of my eligible expenses, but they were also proactive in helping me get home safely and comfortably with my arm in a cast following my surgery. Their genuine care and willingness to help exceeded all of my expectations.
I was honestly surprised by how responsive, compassionate, and supportive they were throughout the entire process. Every interaction left me feeling reassured that I was in good hands.
I would highly recommend Cover-More to anyone looking for travel insurance.
Thank you to everyone at Cover-More for your outstanding support.

After falling ill on the last day of our Bali trip en route to Thailand, I became quite unwell with food poisoning and severe dehydration. There was no time to call Cover-More for advice as I needed medical attention immediately after landing. Two weeks later, once I arrived home, I submitted my medical claim online and it was fully reimbursed… Read more · 1
within just 10 days. The process was incredibly easy and stress-free.
I’d also like to mention a previous experience from a year earlier in Vietnam during Typhoon Yagi, when our cruise and flights were cancelled. I called Cover-More upset and unsure of what to do or where to go. Even after our call was cut off, the consultant was able to locate me via the Cover-More app and call me back. No claim was ultimately needed, but the help, reassurance and genuine empathy I received were second to none. With her guidance, I was able to cancel and rebook flights directly with the airline.
Knowing that Cover-More truly cares about their customers makes all the difference!! Highly Recommend.
Wife was hit by a bicycle in Amsterdam and got a broken knee-cap. Hospital said surgery may be necessary but we could travel back home if needed for that (surgery in Amsterdam would have been fine, but recovery time before we could travel would have been a showstopper for us). Leg was put in a splint to keep the knee straight. This meant she… Read more · 1
couldn't fly economy as she would not be able to keep the leg straight so the insurance upgraded her to business class. We also had to cancel some pre-booked trips at short notice (bike barge trips, which is why we were in Amsterdam) and the refunds were minimal (10%) from the tour companies for such late notice. Insurance covered the full amount minus what we were refunded by the companies, plus medical expenses. We did not claim things that were not associated with cancellations or specific to our return expenses (eg train trip to England, hire car in England). Just be sensible and only claim what is realistic. We had this insurance through our credit card as we booked everything for the trip through the card. People tend to ask if we expect lesser coverage using a "free" insurance cover, but we received excellent service, both in Amsterdam when we first contacted the insurers and at home when making our claim. A big plus in the modern world is the X-rays from the hospital were sent to our phone which allowed us to forward them to the insurers who could make a quick decision on the medical basis of our claim.

Have made claim on overseas travel Insurance for cancellation on medical grounds. They required all travel and medical information, after they received all the information we have received a refund in a very timely manner. Show details · 1
I was unfortunate to be diagnosed with a rare type of blood cancer prior to an organized and paid for overseas trip to Europe. After receiving the appropriate medical cancellation refund from our travel agent we contacted Cover - More to inquire if we were entitled to a medical refund on the outstanding funds. After completing their application… Read more · 1

Throughout this stressful process Cover - More agents were very supportive and met all agreed timeframes with appropriate and easy to understand correspondence and we would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone needing a thoroughly professional travel insurance agent.
I am very pleased with the response and the handling of my claim for a health issue that I had whilst travelling in Sweden. I received every cent back on my claim (which consisted of 16 costs, for medical treatments, Uber/taxi rides to and from Hospitals, a nonrefundable cancelled accommodation, and for the cost of a changed flight from Stockholm… Read more · 1

Negative reviews
Worst travel insurance. A beautiful trip turned into an absolute nightmare with this company. My wife fell on a boat and broke her neck. This company wanted to re-patriate her so they could stop paying for the hospital. The doctors who were all either English or Australian strongly recommended not even sitting her up ! Covermore wanted to send her… Read more
back to Australia sitting in business class unattended by medical staff to Darwin where she would have been relased from any care at all. Still with a broken neck. Medical staff at the hospital finally refused to release her until the fractures were stable all the time getting calls and emails from Covermore refuasing to pay. This went on for 2 weeks !!! I flew to be with her and ran up travel costs myself mediating for her. The doctors and surgeon were disgusted. I finally got the airline to refuse to carry her. Then they wanted to send a private medical medivac aircraft from Australia to onboard her but again only so they could stop paying hospital bills at point of injury, NOT because of caring for her or her recovery. Disgusting worst story I have ever heard. I am writing this review because I recently saw an advertisement from Covermore saying how caring they are !

Would not use again. I provided a receipt of payment for medical expenses and was told my claim couldn’t be processed unless I provided a medical report from the treating doctor as well. As my son was the patient I then had to go through consent for release of information. I spent weeks following up this report and it never got sent. After I gave… Read more
up and informed cover more that I couldn’t be bothered pursuing the claim, I got an email telling me my claim was now approved. My claim was a visit to a medical centre doctor so I would hate to think what this company would require if you actually had a serious medical incident! After all this I was rebated $23 from a $300 bill! Yes it’s fair to say $250 was for excess but after all the time spent trying to prove my claim and chasing information I felt this excess could have been waived given the medical report was then no longer required when I gave up pursuing it! Have just booked our next two holidays and will not be using cover more for our travel insurance!

I purchased international travel insurance from CoverMore before my overseas trip. After being hospitalised for five days due to illness, I paid all medical bills myself and submitted a complete claim upon returning home. The claims process that followed was slow and stressful. I received no meaningful updates, phone calls provided no clear… Read more
information, and my case manager was consistently unavailable. I was even given misleading information about supposed medical reviews that never occurred. Requests to speak with a supervisor were refused. I was then incorrectly told that my claim fell below the excess, despite the correct calculations. Only after filing another complaint was the error acknowledged and payment approved—without any apology or explanation for the mishandling of my initial complaint. Overall, this was a highly frustrating and poorly managed experience.

Very happy with Cover-More. I had a medical episode aboard a cruise ship. Hospital costs on board were approx $4k and they were fully covered. I also had to arrange new flights home from Hong Kong to Australia and I was only halfway through the cruise when advised to head home. All was covered by cover-more. Show details · 1
