Why consider nib travel insurance for a trip around Australia?

With plans designed for all types of travellers—families, couples, and solo adventurers alike—we protect you from the unexpected, so you can enjoy every holiday moment.
Rental vehicle insurance excess
Heading off on a road trip through the rugged landscapes of the Kimberley or cruising along Tasmania’s scenic routes? No matter where the road takes you, our Rental Vehicle Insurance Excess (offered under the Australian Travel Plan) may provide cover if your hire car gets damaged or stolen.
Cancellation cover
Our Australian Travel Plan and Cancellation and Additional Expenses Plans may offer cover if you need to cancel or rearrange your trip due to unforeseen events like illness, severe weather, or cancelled events. We’ll reimburse the non-refundable portion of your pre-paid travel arrangements or the cost of rearranging your trip within the policy limits. Exclusions apply, so check your PDS for complete details.
Perfect for family holidays
Family holidays are about making memories, not stressing over what could go wrong. Our Australian Travel Plan may offer cover for everything from lost luggage, trip cancellation, to a number of sports and adventure activities ensuring your whole family is taken care of.
Hiring replacement golf and surf equipment
Packing the golf clubs or surfboard? Our Australian Travel Plan offers cover if your golf or surf gear is accidentally lost, delayed, or damaged during your journey. We’ll cover the cost of hiring replacement equipment, so you don’t miss out on the action. Best of all, no excess applies to claims under this benefit.
