With winter just around the corner, Aussies are preparing to bundle up their family and friends and head to higher ground. But outside of booking your flights and accommodation, one of the key essentials to making sure you enjoy a safe, worry-free experience abroad is by purchasing travel insurance. While some argue, particularly if you’re young, it’s not totally necessary, you can’t put a price on protecting yourself if anything untoward were to happen. You won’t need it until you really do.
You can choose the level of protection you need and customise your cover with add-on packs. Plus with 24/7 emergency assistance and an online app, it’s really easy to manage your policy, get help or make a claim. “Finding someone to give you a lift to the airport is never fun. So we thought, what better way to kick off your trip than with an Uber on us,” Butter Insurance Co-Founder Cassie Bell said.
