Assessing your specific risks

Finding the perfect policy for your holiday depends on a variety of factors. Whether you decide to travel domestically or overseas, your trip is unique. Your insurance should be too.

TINZ knows that factors such as carrying high-value items, engaging in adventure activities, or having any pre-existing medical conditions that need to be declared, are all serious considerations to ensure the success of your trip.

It’s there where their passion for travel insurance shines through, as they offer a wide range of policies to cater to all types of holidays and budgets.

TINZ travel insurance offers three primary products: comprehensive, comprehensive plus and essentials.

All three of these plans include unlimited medical condition cover (a total of 35 medical conditions is included). You also get $5 million personal liability cover and $10 million terrorism cover. You can also get already overseas packages.

Benefits limited to each plan include:

1. Comprehensive: Include cancellation cover up to $25, 000, luggage & personal items cover up to $5 000, rental vehicle excess of $6,000 cover for loss of income of up to $10,400.
2. Comprehensive Plus also pays a loss of income of up to $10, 400 but has bigger luggage and personal item coverage of up to $25, 000.
3. Essentials: This policy doesn’t cover rental vehicle excess and loss of income. You do, however, get trip cancellation cover of up to $10, 000.
