Jenny27 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 We had a look at them but they have bad reviews on the Internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungo Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 There seem to be plenty of options if you google. How about the one way travel insurance with this company. http://www.go-walkabout.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srh82 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Just curious, why are you bothering? As as soon as you arrive in Australia you can apply for Medicare, and Medicare will give you a temporary card straigh away. In around 6 return trips between the UK and Australia, I have never ever had a luggage problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny27 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Well we feel we need insurance as you never no whether if we loose our luggage, flights are delayed etc. We get insurance whenever we travel on holidays etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed STA and they said they will cover us for our flight and 2 days after. Is this what you had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said if your flights are booked as a complete journey then the airline will look after you, if the airline lose (not looses) your luggage they will sort it. You are paying them for a service, when would you pay for a policy that covers if they do something wrong? If you have a stopover then that is a different matter!

I must admit, it is not something I think is necessary. There is not a lot that can go wrong between getting on a plane and getting off the other end.

That's where it becomes a good idea - medical cover in case you are taken ill somewhere - it may even be that you are taken ill on the flight, plane diverts and leaves you in hospital = large bill. Worth considering if transiting the USA too, even just to change planes. Their medical bills could bankrupt you quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
