Access market-leading travel insurance in minutes with TAI

Qualifying for travel coverage through TAI is a straightforward process as detailed in their travel insurance proposal form.

Whether you’re applying for or on behalf of an organization, a group, or as an individual, you must furnish your contact particulars, including postal address, email, and phone/mobile number.

The form also requests the identification of all persons in a group travelling together or the lone individual to be insured. Specifics regarding departure and return dates, as well as the chosen destination (with options like Worldwide excluding North America, Worldwide including North America, or Pacific), must be specified. Furthermore, a brief description of the purpose of the journey, whether business, leisure, or other, is required.

Planning on any hazardous activities or extreme sports?

During the application for travel coverage, you must also provide details about the planned activities during the trip, encompassing any hazardous pursuits or extreme sports. If non-scheduled aircraft flights are part of the itinerary, such as crop dusting or private aircraft use, this information should be disclosed.

Age limitations and disclosure requirements

Travellers below 80 years of age must declare any pre-existing medical conditions, while those exceeding 80 years won't receive coverage for such medical issues. It's mandatory to provide written confirmation of fitness to travel from a GP.

Any prior travel insurance claims must also be reported, including particulars like dates, descriptions, and insurers. The form offers an opportunity to specify items exceeding $5,000 in value, which might necessitate additional premium payments and affect the excess.

TAI’s duty of disclosure explained

The duty of disclosure necessitates the disclosure of all material facts pertaining to the insurance risk. Failure to do so may result in diminished liability or even the cancellation of the insurance agreement.

It becomes the responsibility of the insured party to promptly inform the insurer of any alterations that materially affect the facts or circumstances existing at the commencement of the insurance. Furnishing precise and comprehensive information is critical to ensuring that the coverage aligns with the traveller's requirements and expectations.
