What is covered by Annual Multi-Trip Travel Insurance?

Our Emergency Assistance is available 24/7. To make a claim, you can:

• Call 1800 281 227 (within Australia) 
• Call +61 7 3465 1368 (overseas)
• Lodge an online claim

You can upgrade your cover and add optional extras to your policy, like snow sports cover or excess reduction, for an additional premium. Optional extras can be added when you get a quote and buy a policy. 

To be eligible for Catch Travel Insurance you must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident, or non-permanent resident with a valid Medicare card, private health or overseas student travel insurance for the duration of your trip. Your policy must be purchased before you depart on your trip which must begin in Australia.

You can cover up to 10 adults and 20 dependent children under one policy. Dependent children (including step, fostered or adopted children or grandchildren) must be:

• Under 18 years of age
• Financially dependent on you
• Listed on your travel insurance policy

Depending on your requirements, travel insurance quotes can be customised to provide cover per person or per family. The benefit amount limits are per insured person on your policy.

Your excess will depend on what type of travel insurance benefit you are claiming. Some benefits will attract a higher excess, while others won’t attract an excess. Note that if your excess exceeds the amount you are claiming, you won’t get anything back.

 For an additional premium, you can choose to remove or reduce your excess. Simply add this optional extra to your policy when you receive a quote and purchase your insurance policy.

Twelve months for travellers aged 65 or under and 90 days for travellers aged between 66 and 100 (single trip policies, eg Comprehensive,Essential,Last Minute,Domestic). An Annual Multi-Trip policy is effective for 12 months, however each trip must last 30 days or less (if you plan on taking a longer tripe, you’ll need to purchase another, single-trip policy)

It’s up to you exactly when to buy travel insurance, however it must be purchased before you depart on your trip.

By getting travel insurance as soon as you’ve booked and paid for some or all of your trip, you’ll be covered for your pre-paid travel, accommodation, meals, tours, etc., if you’re forced to cancel your trip due to an insured event (unless you have a Last Minute policy, which does not include cancellation cover).

If you’re a frequent traveller with an Annual Multi-Trip policy, you’re covered for an unlimited number of up-to-30-day trips you take within 12 months to your chosen destination/s.

Before each trip, you won’t need to let us know where you’re going – unless your destination is not one you selected originally, in which case you will need to contact us on 1800 281 227 to edit your policy.

After purchasing your Annual Multi-Trip policy, you can contact us and edit the following policy details:

Before you depart on your trip – and within 14 days of the purchase date:

• Travel destinations
• Departure and return dates
• Travellers on your policy
• Optional extras (you can add Snow Sports Cover and/or Additional Specified Items Cover to your policy).

After you’ve departed on your trip:

• Travel destinations
• Return date.
