Events Affecting Cover

There are good reasons to get your travel insurance once you have booked your trip as this can protect your pocket if your trip is disrupted due to unexpected events such as strikes, riots and natural disasters that happen at your planned destination.

These events can affect your cover depending on when you have purchased the policy.

Policies purchased after the insured event has happened.

Based on policy terms and conditions, the insured event will not be covered as it has already happened or has been made known by the media or authorities.

Should you decide to proceed with the trip, it is important to remember that you are still covered for all other unexpected insured events on your trip such as baggage delay caused by the airline or loss of personal items due to theft.

Policies purchased before the insured event happened and you have not yet departed.

The policy covers travel cancellation or postponement if your trip is unavoidably cancelled or postponed due to an insured event that happens within 30 days before your trip. 

If you are unsure whether the overseas event affects your trip, please contact your providers (airline, transport, tour, accommodation) to check if your bookings are affected by the event. 

If your trip is unavoidably cancelled or postponed, please submit your claim to us, and we will assess it based on policy terms and conditions.

Insured events refer to events covered by the policy, subject to the policy terms and conditions. The list of insured events is shown under each relevant section of the policy.
