All nib Travel Insurance policies are subject to a 21 day ‘cooling-off’ period within which travellers may be able to cancel their policy and obtain a full refund. If you need to cancel your policy outside of this period please contact Customer Support for assistance.
If the trip start date on your policy has not yet passed, and you haven’t made, and don’t intend to make, a claim, then you can change the trip start date to align with your new travel plans. You can only move your trip start date to a date that is up to 12 months (or up to 18 months on the Comprehensive Plan and the Australian Travel Plan) after the date you purchased your policy. Additionally you can amend details or extend the policy.
If you need to amend or extend the trip dates on your policy, please contact our Customer Support team to assist.
It's important to understand that there are current limitations to cover relating to coronavirus, Do Not Travel warnings and travel bans, which may also limit your cover if you amend your existing policy.

All nib Travel Insurance policies are subject to a 21 day ‘cooling-off’ period within which travellers may be able to cancel their policy and obtain a full refund.
If you want to cancel a policy within the cooling-off period, log into your online account.
Once your policy is cancelled, we will refund your premium as long as you aren’t using your policy in any way. This means that:
You haven’t travelled under your policy or started your trip; and
You have not made a claim and do not intend to make a claim; and
You are not exercising any other right under the policy.
We recognise you may be unable to travel due to travel restrictions, which impact you after the cooling-off period has expired.
We are offering eligible customers the option to cancel their policy outside the cooling-off period and obtain a refund.
If you are unable to travel due to coronavirus related travel restrictions, and you haven't used and don't need to use your policy to travel or claim, you are eligible to obtain a refund.
Before you decide to cancel, please make sure you consider the implications and any existing value under the policy, including for example any pre-trip cancellation cover you may have. The extent of cover afforded will depend upon both the policy wording and your individual facts and circumstances.
For Annual Multi Trip policyholders whose travel plans are disrupted by coronavirus travel restrictions, we recognise you may be unable to travel and may wish to cancel your policy.
If you are unable to fully utilise your policy due to coronavirus related travel restrictions, and you haven't and don't need to use your policy to claim, you may be eligible to obtain a refund for the unused proportion of your policy.
We will calculate any refund from the later of the date you returned to your home, and the date your use of your policy was impacted by a coronavirus related travel restriction.
Remember, cancelling your policy means you won’t be eligible for any cover, and you won’t be able to make any claims under the policy. If you request and are granted a refund, your policy cannot be reinstated.
If you have any questions or require assistance when claiming, please contact us.
Refunds can take a few days to appear on your credit card statement.
