Seniors Travel Insurance is the only one that answered my call

Travel Insurance - Essential Cover

I had tried to contact several other travel insurance companies - emails, online forms and calls. Seniors Travel Insurance is the only one that answered my call - in less than 5 minutes. The operator was very helpful and answered my questions and we have purchased travel insurance from them. I am very confident that if somewthing does go wrong, that Seniors Travel Insurance will answer my call.

Something unusual

Seniors Travel Insurance

I noticed that all those glowing reviews (hundreds of 4 or 5 stars) re the Seniors Insurance products were written by people who NEVER MADE A CLAIM-this is a statistical impossibility. I'd be very interested in reading replies from both Seniors Insurance and Productreview people. Best,

Travel insurance no longer offered

Travel Insurance - Top Cover

Went for a quote on Seniors Travel Insurance with Australian Seniors. Large banner stated "We are temporarily ceasing Sales of Travel Insurance". So why is this company at the head of the listings for Seniors Travel Insurance? And more to the point the reasons for not offering insurance was "...we’ve had to make some changes due to the unforeseen impact of COVID-19. In accordance with the Australian Government’s travel restrictions and due to the complex and unpredictable nature of travel currently, we have taken the difficult decision to suspend sales of new Travel Insurance policies until further notice." Overseas travel has been operating normally for months now. Methinks an organization that is not with it.

Review

Travel Insurance - Top Cover

I thought the initial policy price was attractive but the loading for medical procedures going back 5 years was a bit steep. I also thought the time it took to complete the medical review was ridiculous, as it took 40 minutes and went back 5 years. A little over the top I thought when some of those procedures were of a type that were not ongoing conditions. I thought your representative, Amanda, was excellent with her product knowledge, thoroughness and customer service skills.

Great price for great benefits!

Travel Insurance - Top Cover

We haven't travelled yet, but it was so easy to choose our insurance and it was great value for money. We made comparisons with other insurers, but this was the best quote we received saving us $50-$100 for comparable insurance elsewhere.

Easy to set up on line at a nice $ rate.

Travel Insurance - Domestic Cover

It is a few years since I have needed travel insurance, but I have used Seniors several times in the past.
I reckon the online quote/payment was easier than last time.
Lets trust that our trip takes place in 2021 and a claim will not be required.

Great customer service.

Travel Insurance - Top Cover

Took out travel insurance earlier this year. Staff were very helpful and the policy good value. Due to inability to travel because of the pandemic I rang to see if I would be covered for any cancellation costs with my holiday. Whilst I wouldn't be covered because it is a pandemic and I'm not aware any insurance company would cover the costs, I was given the option of a credit towards future travel or a full refund. I received the refund within 2 days.

Mate - it will depend on the insurance companies - they will each have a 'definition' for those terms and what they mean. No, there is no industry standard definition for each (yet?). You can ask, but I would not call any company and 'talk' about anything serious like that - their talk is not worth the paper it is written on, if/when there is a dispute later. By all means talk to them and get the info, but then later get anything serious in writing via emails.

Details

Features

  • There are 3 levels of cover - domestic cover, international essential cover and international top cover.
  • For one-off trips (called ‘single’ trips), policies cover travellers of any age. Single trips can include trips of up to 12 months long.
  • The two international travel policies cover up to 31 pre-existing medical conditions. They also let you select your excess amount ($0, $100, $200), with a varying premium amount as a result. The domestic policy excess is $50.
  • Purchasing a policy automatically includes cover for children or grandchildren under 21, providing they are not working full-time and that they are traveling with the policyholder for the whole journey.
  • The top international cover includes the following benefits that the essential policy doesn’t have: travel delays, rental vehicle insurance excess, resumption of journey, accidental death.
  • Both international essential cover and international top cover policies offer the following optional extras: motorcycle and moped cover, adventure cover for amateur sports and activities, bicycle cover, snow cover, and a cruise pack; which is compulsory for cruise holidays.
  • 24-hour emergency assistance is provided with AusAssistance, no matter where you are in the world.

Points of praise

  • Customer service staff are consistently friendly, personable and helpful. They demonstrate sound product knowledge. Reviewers appreciated that staff members answered their questions thoroughly and patiently.
  • Competitive prices offering good value were cited. Some reviewers noted that the quotes they received were higher than they would have liked. However, they still decided to go with Seniors’ Travel Insurance, as they trusted the brand due to its good reputation.
  • It’s easy to set up a policy on the insurer's website, which helped give reviewers peace of mind.

Something to consider

There is a general exclusion relating to pandemics, which means you can’t claim for lost costs related to cancelling or rearranging trips because of COVID-19.
