Travel Insurance
We require all tour participants to have adequate insurance coverage.
Why do I need Travel Insurance?
For most, travel is a wonderful experience, and though we don't plan for things to go wrong, unfortunately sometimes they will.
Apart from covering you for things that might happen while you are away, a travel insurance policy may cover you for pre-departure cancellation, which would cover you when you have paid in advance for a tour.
Travel insurance allows you to travel with peace of mind and can assist with those unexpected overseas medical & dental costs, amendment or cancellation costs, luggage and travel documents including lost or stolen passports.
What level of policy do I require?
Academy Travel requires all participants to obtain adequate insurance coverage. For domestic tours, Medicare and your private medical insurance should be used to cover any medical expenses. Domestic travel insurance is available and strongly recommended to cover non-medical expenses such as cancellation.
For international tours, we require you to have comprehensive travel insurance. Comprehensive insurance is a ‘must have’ for pre-paid group travel.
The cost of travel insurance depends upon the country you are travelling to, the length of time you are travelling, your age and any pre-existing medical conditions you (or a dependent relative) may have.
