Verdict
Overall, customer sentiment toward PassportCard.com.au is highly positive, driven by competitive pricing, helpful customer service, and the convenience of the preloaded payout card system. While the majority of users praise the seamless application and supportive emergency assistance, a small number of reviewers experience administrative friction regarding medical history disclosures or delivery delays for physical cards.
I have travelled with passport card 3 times. Each experience has been excellent. The consultants are so friendly and helpful. Lather prices are the best. Also the fact that you don’t have to lay out money while on holiday and you have 24/7 contact. I can’t find a fault. Show details
No one wants to need travel insurance but I was relieved to have Passport Card to help me through a difficult time while overseas. Calm, helpful, friendly people when you're feeling vulnerable. Will continue to use Passport Card and recommend them to others. Show details
Clear online application instructions; very helpful and informative consultant follow-up via phone; excellent company that supports customers with medical pre-conditions such as transplant recipients; very competitive and reasonable premium for above medical situations whereas other insurance companies charge premiums that are so high it illustrates they don’t want your business.

The team was very helpful when my daughter fell and hurt her knee and we needed urgent medical attention. Show details
I have not had to make a claim overseas thank goodness however I have had excellent response to my queries and I have travelled with confidence knowing I can reach out for help anytime. I’ve travelled to Vietnam and India. Thank you folks. Cheers Margaret Show details
Passport Card has been absolutely incredible! They replied back extremely fast every single time, and their support has been nothing short of amazing. They helped us with so many medical needs through the chemist, and even when we had to pay out of pocket, the claim we put through was approved in no time at all. We’ve unfortunately had two… Read more
accidents now that required hospital visits, and both times Passport Card handled everything with speed and efficiency. Their WhatsApp service made the whole process super easy and stress-free.
Honestly, I can’t recommend them enough — everything was quick, professional, and seamless. It’s been such a relief knowing we’re in safe hands, and I’m confident it will be just as easy next time if we ever need them again.
Great service and great product – The service is very thoughtful and it provides good products to customers. We purchased the policy 3 days before we flew out to overseas, sms and What’s App message were received immediately. The payment card was sent to us by Express Post and received the day before our trip. I will purchase their insurance products again for my next trip. The level of their service is very impressive and the price point is very reasonable. Show details
Peace of mind – Easy to deal with No claim made. However if I had to I knew that I wouldn’t have to worry about paying and then claiming back as provided a card that would be activated when needed.

Passport Card has an easy to read policy and is easy to set up. For the first time in years of travel, we had to make a claim, and in Australia of all places- not a problem! Samantha looked after our claim and kept in constant contact aiding us through the process. Passport card will now be our go to insurer and recommended to all our friends!!! Show details
Follow-up · It’s been a little over a year since my dream holiday was ruined when I fractured my tibia, spent three weeks in hospital and then a week in a hotel waiting for clearance to fly home from Darwin. The crew from Passport Card and the support they gave was the only thing I remember fondly. Even though they offered to help financially straight away,… Read more

We attended a meeting to discuss challenges of travelling following a transplant. One presenter PassportCard provided information related to this obtaining realistic coverage at an affordable price. We chose PassportCard for our Peru holiday and when my husband experienced a throat infection (is a serious situation when at altitude and… Read more
immunosuppressed) PassportCard were amazing. I was able to speak to a representative on the phone immediately (10pm AEST) on the free 1800 number, we discussed possible treatment plans and available clinics with sufficient capability in transplant medicine in Cuzco and WhatsApp availability once I had additional information from the Peruvian clinicians which may needed to support additional funds. $500 credit was immediately added to the PassportCard (Mastercard) card we already had in our possession, along with a pin # and we departed to the hospital. On arrival the insurer information was received without complication by the health care provider and once the medical reviews were completed and prescriptions were dispensed all of this was paid for using the PassportCard before we left the clinic. As final payments were being discussed I reached out to the team via WhatsApp to confirm the admin plan proposed by the clinic and the PassportCard team responded immediately advising me to proceed. It really was such a relief to have the their support just a call away. We will definitely use PassportCard again for future travels and other couples on our tour were impressed and will review on our return home. Our transplant specialist is also impressed and has been recommending to his other patients. Great job PassportCard!

I am writing to share some positive feedback regarding the amazing service provided by your team while I was travelling in Bali earlier this month. Firstly, I would like to thank Sam for helping me choose a travel insurance plan that suited my travel requirements perfectly. During my trip, I experienced a medical situation, and both Bono and… Read more
Nino were incredibly quick to respond. They addressed all my concerns very clearly and made the entire process much less stressful. I had to pay for my hospital visit upfront, and the process of explaining how to load the money onto the Mastercard was extremely smooth and easy to follow. I truly appreciate all the help and support they provided.
Please pass on my thanks and appreciation to them, as well as to the rest of the team, who all deserve recognition for their excellent service. Thank you once again for making my travel experience more enjoyable. I will definitely be recommending your company to others in the future and hope to use your services again.
I cannot recommend passportcard enough. I bought their travel insurance with the adventure pack add on for my everest base camp trek. Unfortunately halfway through the trek I developed AMS which actually turned into HACE and I had to be emergency heli evacuated from the mountain. Passportcard were absolutely incredible from start to finish. They… Read more
were super responsive, totally on the ball, and everyone I spoke to on the phone during the process already knew the whole story so I didn't have to repeat myself. They were so fast at getting the heli company a guarantee of payment and when I was taken to the hospital they communicated with the doctors on my behalf and arranged payment of treatment, consultations, and even pre loaded my passportcard credit card for my follow up the next day so I wouldn't have to stress about being out of pocket. Not only are they the most professional insurance company ive ever dealt with, they are also the most compassionate. Everyone I spoke to was so understanding and kind and reassured me the whole time that everything would be ok and that they were taking care of it. They even called me the next day to check in and make sure i hadnt run into any issues at the hospital. Im 100% a loyal customer for life and honestly cannot recommend this company enough. It's so rare to feel like your insurance company actually cares about you and to be treated like a person rather than just a policy number.

Good travel insurance to deal with. Pre-existing medical coverage was well explained. Staff helpful. Fortunately, I never needed to make a claim after multiple policies. Great idea how they have the credit card system. Show details
I needed clarification on coverage provided by PassportCard. My phone call was quickly answered, the advice was given promptly by a knowledgeable and very friendly consultant. A great service. Show details
My experience having to get an ambulance and go to a hospital in a country that English is not their first language was challenging. Passport card where so amazing with their easy going, calm approach in educating me on my next steps. Medical expenses were transferred to my Passport card within minutes of providing a copy of the hospital bill so… Read more
I did not have to pay first and claim later. I cannot recommend this company enough on their streamlined process, caring nature of the consultant and the follow-up that I was Ok.

The girl there I spoke to last Friday was really lovely and helpful. She told me she would need to talk to her nedical staff then they would get back to me but they were busy. Said that was fine not going to Bali till next March but i still havent had a call back. I'm not sure what to do now keep waiting or try another provider. Show details
Ive used passportcard twice in past year. In our last travel, wife had toothache and we attended dentist is England on emergency appointment. We called passportcard before going to appointment and reassured to keep documents and send back to submit claim. Since submitting claim of 250 GBP, ive never come across such a dishonest company. They have… Read more
done everything possible to avoid paying out. I have submitted complaint and was promised reply back with outcome within 5 days to maximum 10 days. No surprise never got back to me, so ive called up to complain. To my surprise we get email requesting dental report from our dentist in australia to confirm if any previous history of any treatment on tooth in question. I called up to ask if the would pay cost for dental report, to which I got a lot of jargon. I pushed for answer and finally said would pay fee for dental report from australian dentist. For clarity wife never had any fillings or tooth ache and only ever had cm check ups with polish and clean. This company is the worst ive had to deal with and personally I would avoid like the plague. They are worst than criminals in avoiding to pay genuine claims.
Easy to deal with. It was expensive because of my medical history. Hopefully will be cheaper next time as an established customer. I had no issues and did not need to contact the company. Show details

Although I was not able to make a claim because of no untoward incident I felt secured knowing that I have a card just in case there’s some unfortunate event. The card arrived just before I left. I recommend this one to try. I hope it will be smooth when it comes to claiming. I will definitely use this again. Show details

I have been using Passport card for 3 years after difficulty with another insurance provider resulting in me reading through all PDS’s. Passport Card’s was by far one of the best. They are good value, it’s easy to get the policy and they are extremely helpful. Having a card gives you peace of mind especially just in case you have to make a claim.… Read more
This time we needed to make a claim in Bali due to my partner being unwell and I’m a medical centre. Communication was seamless and claiming was made so easy with them putting funds on the card to pay for the clinic and medication. This trip we claimed twice and both times it was easy and the staff were so supportive. I have no hesitation in recommending them for your travel insurance.
I had an amazing experience with passport card and would highly recommend it to anyone. I found the rates reasonable, the cover much higher than comparables I could find and when I needed to use the cover it was so easy and the company helped me every step of the way. You only find out how good insurance is when you need it and my experience was excellent Show details
I tried to use on app but would conplete the process so I rang & the person I spoke to was polite & did inform that they had done an update so that may have been the issue but apologised. Bought travel insurance so easy. Now just waiting the card for my daughters trip os. Seems to great value. First time using this service. So far great experience Show details
My dealings with PassportCard were magnificent, seamless, easy, professional and extremely efficient. Fortunately insurance is there in case of a disaster, and for my wife and Ime our trip was uneventful, but having Passport Card looking after us was reassuring. We will definitely use them again.

Fast and efficient service. The young lady was very accommodating. One of the better products at a very reasonable price. The part I like the most is that it’s an Australian based company that serving me. Show details
My dealings with passportcard have been excellent. We rang a few times and each time the agents were friendly and efficient and a big bonus they had English as a first language. So many companies now use offshore call centres and it is often very difficult to understand their accents. We were pleased with the quote which is Very competitive Show details
Fantastic Easy to use and if they have an issue with a response - Very short turn around - They call you to discuss. I was sceptical when told just wait for a call - the call came - the woman on the phone was pleasant and able to assist / support and in a matter of moments - it was job done Show details
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m extremely happy with my travel insurance. I needed medical/dental treatment while travelling in Bali and the support I received made a stressful situation so much easier.
