  Cover-More Travel Insurance

We had planned an amazing trip to Fiji in early April 2026, staying at a beach resort at Oarsman's Bay Lodge Unfortunately, on arrival we were advised that a Cyclone was incoming and ended up being in lockdown for 2 days and unable to get to our resort (5 hours off the mainland coast) Once the Cyclone had cleared we had to abandon plans for our… Read more

resort and book alternative accommodation for the remainder of our time in Fiji. Cover-More covered the cost of accommodation at the Oarsman's Bay Loge and the claim process was efficient and seemles.....

Our flights to Fiji were cancelled due to a cyclone, so we travelled the next day and missed out on one night accommodation and full board. Cover-More approved our full claim and handled the claim quickly - thankyou Cover-More. Show details

I have used this convenient facility for many years and this was the first time I made a claim. Had to cancel a flight (and book an earlier one) due to illness of my mother in the Netherlands. Flight Centre wasn't hopeful of my claim being successful due to the resulting death being at my destination instead of here, but Cover-More kindly paid. Show details

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've been travelling internationally for many years and never leave home without insurance. Never made a claim before but you never know when you need to. Unfortunately I was involved in a MVA on my latest trip and was admitted into hostpital with multiple broken bones and punctured lung. I gave the hostpital a copy of my travel insurance policy… Read more ·  1

and they contacted Covermore on my behalf as I was incapacitated. Everything went ahead relatively smoothly and stress free for me. I had regular phone calls from staff at Covermore with updates and various things I had to inform them of. As I needed surgery there were options discussed about having surgery in Thailand or being flown back to Australia for treatment. I was leaning towards surgery in Thailand and after discussing it with Covermore medical team, it was agreed that I be treated in Thailand. Good decision and great outcome. Im my opinion Covermore went above and beyond with how my claim was handled. All staff I spoke with by phone were extremely helpful and understanding of my situation. It was a stressful time for me but at no time did Covermore add to that stress. Once I returned to Australia I needed to put in a couple more claims for personal items damaged in Accident. I'm a dinosaur when it comes to all things computer so I actually needed to external help with these claims. I received emails and phone calls about these claims and was kept in the loop with what was happening. All aspects of my claims have been settled now and I can't thank Covermore and their staff enough. Anyone who travels without travel insurance is insane. You just never know. Medical costs in foreign countries is extremely expensive so being fully covered makes more sense than starting Go Fund Me page to try and raise the funds needed to cover everything. I can't recommend Covermore highly enough. They are next level Awesome.

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.

I purchased insurance when Covermore were advertising a 15% discount. Not only was the discount not applied, but the policy was cheaper to purchase the day after the discount ended. Customer service was non existent. Bought myself a policy elsewhere (for less) and will never use Covermore again. Show details

 Follow-up  · No other claim costs. There was a bit of a delay in payment through my fault as I had put the incorrect Bank A/c numbers. My policy excess was $500.00. Overall very happy with the Insurance and the Company. I would recommend them to other travellers.

Thank you Hope for the payment already received. I am just enquiring about the 2nd room that our daughter Kellie had for the same period. You have the receipts for both rooms so could you double check for us. Thank you. Show details ·  3

 Follow-up  · Our daughter Kellie paid for the second room. She was covered by the insurance for the holiday. She is a nurse and was needed to look after her mother. The room payments are covered by the printout on her credit card statement. They are similar to my credit card statement. The 8th/10th of may. You have all the paperwork there. Hope you can help. Thanks David Wykes.

I recently purchased travel insurance with Cover-More and had a very positive overall experience. The quote process was straightforward and the price was very reasonable compared with other insurers I looked at, which made it an easy choice when organising my trip. During my travels I unfortunately had an issue where the airline lost my luggage,… Read more ·  1

which caused me to miss a flight and incur additional expenses. I submitted a claim through Cover-More and found the online claim process to be simple and easy to follow, with clear instructions on what documentation was required.

Initially, my claim for the missed flight was declined. However, after I provided additional information and followed up with their team for further investigation, the claim was reassessed and ultimately approved. I appreciated that the team took the time to review the details and reach a fair outcome.

Overall, I found the process transparent and the customer support helpful. Based on my experience, I would consider using Cover-More again for future travel.

My claim was approved 4 weeks ago or so. You'd think I'd have the money by now, wouldn't you? Except that since then Covermore have - managed to botch two payment attemtps. - Not believed me when I said the mistake was at their end, and that the second payment was also returned by my bank due to the same error with my account number (they… Read more

inexplicably included a dahs). - Held me on the phone for hours repeatedly without actually DOING anything for me. - Given me countless sentences starting with "should" while thinking that the same action might result in different outcomes. - Not investigated to matter properly. - Not made the payment on the day promised. - Given me unrealistic timelines. - Refused to put me through to team leaders. - Not called me back when promised. - Hung up on me - And only initiated complaints proceeding when I threaten with the Ombudsman and media.

And now I have to wait another 30 days for the complaint to be finalised, while they still have my money and I can't pay my bills. THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED!

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.

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

We have used Covermore for our travel insurance every year for well over a decade. We recently had the need to claim on medical treatment which was required whilst on a cruise. The claim was handled extremely efficiently and professionally by Christine and I was kept up to date until settlement occurred. Show details ·  1

Nobody likes to curtail a holiday so when disaster strikes, it is especially important to have confidence in your insurer. I had previously used numerous insurers, none of which proved reliable. Even when my claims were accepted, they were always heavily discounted, or parts simply denied due for what I still regard as spurious/dishonest… Read more ·  1

reasons. And it always took months of hard work to resolve anything.

But miracles do happen and Covermore paid absolutely eveything I claimed - quickly and without any fuss or argument. They restored at least a little bit of my faith in insurers. Some still retain some integrity.

Stay away from this company. They like taking money from customers but when you need them, it takes them 1 month to reply only to be told they will reject the claim. Even if you are legally (according to QLD government websites) entitled to get compensated, they will refuse to help and blanket everything as “you shouldve have read the terms and conditions”. Even if you have already paid so many ad-ons on top a comprehensive policy. Show details

One of the worst Services I've dealt with. No communication wont respond. Horrible Experience – Flights were cancelled due to Covid. Unable to get anyone on the phone so I did an online claim. Meant to get an answer within 10 days. So it's been 20 days later and no refund or communications. Pathetic service. Show details
