QBE Travel insurance customer reviews

Overall rating, recent qbe travel insurance customer reviews.

QBE Travel Insurance

Above average insurance for the average family..

Easy to organise. Straightforward language.

QBE Home Cover - Contents

I don't have any problems with my insurer.

Very poor customer service - never again

I'm glad I didn't need to claim because I had to hassle several times before leaving just to get the insurance certificate. I had already paid of course so couldn't get out, but I was left unimpressed and hoping I didn't need to make a claim.

Easy to deal with.

I did have a medical claim. The matter was completely resolved to my satisfaction.

Competitive pricing and discounts

The best. So fast, so simple and so much stress free!

Good service, constant contact

I found their service when I contacted them about a change in flights Excellent.

Low premiums, great benefits, easy to access

Easy to access benefits. Cheap premiums for maximum cover. The best range of benefits I found on the market for travellers. Reminder email sent when your cover is due to expire in case you need to extend or renew. Easy to obtain a quote. Easy to apply.

Affordable premiums & easy online application

I have used Nomads for many years and it has been so quick and easy to apply. Affordable premiums.

Peace of mind when travelling

Thankfully I've never had to make a claim while overseas but I did have to make one while travelling in Australia as my hire car was involved in a carpark bingle, causing panel damage. The claims process was very smooth and, although initially out of pocket for the compulsory excess claims, I was quickly reimbursed once the claim had gone through. The claim was completed online and was processed promptly and efficiently. The staff I spoke to were friendly and knowledgeable. One small negative is that I have an existing medical condition that I need to declare when I travel overseas. I have no issues with doing this however as a frequent traveller, it would be beneficial if I was not required to do this for each trip. Other than this, I am very happy with the customer service provided at QBE.

Fast and efficient customer care

Great no hassle service with prompt responses to querying regarding my claim. I photographed the damage to my suitcase then simply purchased and replaced my badly damaged suitcase with a new one, purchased in Paris of course. Provided the receipts along with my claim on my return home and had a cheque within a couple of weeks. Great service!

Very easy to set up, competitive premium

Very easy to organise online, I was confident they would stand by their promises should the need arise after a friend was able to receive insurance payout following an illness while on holiday.

DRAMA to make a small claim for a very small injury & still on going

I bought Travel Insurance for my parents when I booked a trip for them to Melbourne. They had to claim against it and deliberately gave them the run around with increasingly difficult and additional requirements for documentation beyond what was originally requested. I firmly believe that they were hoping that they would give up. I will never buy another QBE insurance product ever again nor recommend them to anyone!

Just what we wanted

Recommended by a travel agent we trust / competitive rate / easy paperwork / quick / adequate cover / just what we wanted.

Reliable and good customer service

I was supposed to be volunteering in South Africa, when a month out I injured my foot badly enough that my doctor told me I couldn't go because of safety concerns and ongoing medical needs. QBE stepped in and refunded everything from my trip, including my flights, accommodation, and program fees.

Why Buy Travel Insurance?

We’re not silly, we know that plenty of Aussies go on holiday and have an amazing time exploring new and exciting places without buying travel insurance. But taking a gamble on your much-needed break can be risky. Here’s why!

Exxy Medical Costs

If you buy a policy for just one reason, this is it! Falling ill or being injured while travelling overseas can be extremely costly. Hospital costs in the USA can reach up to $10,000 per day, while emergency transport home for treatment can easily exceed $100,000! Ouch!

Disasters Can Strike

The excitement of getting on that plane has you knotted up like a pretzel. Picture your dismay if you had to cancel last minute. Worse still, imagine you’re mid-martini when bad news breaks. Should you need to return home, you’ll be covered for unforeseen events like injury or illness of a close relative.

Your Stuff Is Important

Loss, theft or damage to your prized possessions can be a common, yet gut-wrenching experience. If your personal belongings go AWOL while you’re away the right policy will pay to replace or repair them. Win!

Peace Of Mind

Because you have to.

Still not convinced? We hate to be the fun police, but some countries simply won’t let you in without cover! For example, it is mandatory to take out travel insurance when travelling to Thailand or Cuba.

Travel Insurance  Frequently Asked Questions

Does travel insurance cover coronavirus (covid-19).

It depends! Unfortunately, the answer isn't a straightforward one. There are some situations where cover is available, and others where it is an exclusion. It largely depends on which insurer you bought your policy with ; when you bought it; where you're travelling to; when you're travelling; and, the reason for your claim. As travel continues to open up around the world, most (but not all) insurers provide cover for overseas hospital & medical expenses if someone named on the policy was positively diagnosed with COVID-19. Some insurers also provide cover for additional expenses and cancellation benefits.

Which is the best travel insurance in Australia?

The best travel insurance depends entirely on your planned trip and your circumstances. If you're a backpacker on a strict budget, you might want a no-frills medical-only policy, while if you've paid a lot in deposits or if you have pre-existing health conditions, a more comprehensive policy might be best for you. While there's no single best travel insurance that's right for everyone, finding a policy that works for you is easy when you use our quote comparison to start comparing prices and features. With Compare Travel Insurance, you can also read up on travel insurance reviews from customers to learn about their customer service and importantly claims experience.

What does comprehensive travel insurance cover?

Comprehensive travel insurance includes coverage for unexpected medical expenses overseas in the event of injury or illness, as well as cover if your luggage is lost or stolen, cancellation and disruption benefits if you need to cancel or are delayed for unforeseen reasons, as well as public liability cover. Go to our comprehensive travel insurance guide to learn more.

What do medical-only policies cover?

Medical-only trip insurance a.k.a basic policies generally only offer coverage for unexpected medical expenses overseas. Some basic policies also include a small amount of coverage for luggage or cancellations. Our website allows you to filter quotes for basic, mid-range and comprehensive travel insurance policies and their features to help you find the policy which is right for you.

Is it too late to buy travel cover?

Although we recommend buying a policy as soon as you've started paying deposits for flights, accommodation and tours, you can buy travel insurance at any point, even if you are already overseas . Exclusions often apply though, so be sure to check the PDS before you buy.

Can I purchase travel insurance at the airport?

Yes, you can. Generally speaking, you can purchase travel insurance up to a year before your trip, right up to boarding at the airport. With comprehensive travel insurance, you are covered for cancellation benefits from the moment you buy your policy, so we recommend buying it as soon as you start paying for flights, tours and accommodation.

Can I get travel insurance if I'm already overseas?

You can buy cover if you are already overseas, although each travel insurer has different rules on age limits and waiting periods. Check out our already overseas travel insurance guide to learn more.

Does travel insurance cover pregnancy?

You can buy travel insurance to cover you when you're pregnant, but every brand has different rules depending on how many weeks gestation you are, whether you've had complications, and whether you're looking for cover in case of emergency birth. Check out the handy table on our pregnancy guide for more information.

Do I need cover in Australia?

If you're an Australian resident, a domestic policy covers you for cancellations, luggage cover and often rental vehicle excess, but as you're covered by Medicare, medical coverage is not included. International visitors to Australia are currently not required to have travel insurance by law, but it is highly recommended to protect you from eye-watering medical bills and more.

Which is the cheapest policy?

The cost of travel insurance depends on a range of factors including your destination, duration of travel, age of travellers, planned activities, whether or not you have any medical conditions and the type of cover you choose (medical only, mid-range or comprehensive). The cheapest travel insurance is generally to less risky parts of the world - places with cheaper healthcare and less risk of injury, illness or theft - and policies which offer less coverage - so ones without benefits for adventure activities or pre-existing conditions. To get cheap travel insurance from Australia for your trip, create a quote and compare prices, but remember that the cheapest isn't always the best. You should consider your trip and what you require cover for.

Why should I buy travel insurance direct online?

Comparing prices and features online makes it easier to find the policy that's right for you and your circumstances. With comparetravelinsurance.com.au , the price you see is the same price direct from the insurer. Sometimes you're not after the best policy but rather the best bang for your buck and comparing prices and features online can save you time, worry and loads of money.
