Australia’s leisure travel industry is poised for a remarkable comeback, with international arrivals expected to reach a historic 12 million by 2028.
Amid this resurgence, Insure&Go has solidified its position as a leading travel insurance provider, securing two prestigious awards at Canstar’s 2024 Travel Insurance Star Ratings and Awards.
The company won Outstanding Value for International Travel Insurance for the second consecutive year and Outstanding Value for Seniors Travel Insurance for the third straight year. These accolades highlight Insure&Go’s commitment to providing tailored solutions for international and senior travellers over 70 since its launch in 2012.
Canstar’s comprehensive assessment covered 53 providers and 153 insurance policy products, evaluating factors such as coverage limits, competitive pricing, and robust cancellation policies. Insure&Go stood out in this rigorous process, which aimed to create a trusted guide for travellers seeking the best value across 10 global destinations and two cruise regions.
Addressing current travel concerns
Recent trends underscore the importance of travel insurance. A 2024 survey revealed that one in eight Australians travelled overseas without insurance on their most recent trip. Flight disruptions remain a key concern, with on-time performance still below long-term averages despite some improvements.
Adapting to changing travel landscape
David Mayo, Director of Commercial and Marketing (B2C) at Insure&Go, emphasizes the company’s role as travel enablers. He notes that travellers now seek policies that reflect current realities, including increased chances of flight cancellations, extreme weather, and trip cancellations. Insure&Go has adapted its offerings to meet these evolving needs, providing coverage for various traveller profiles, from families with children to adventurers up to 100 years old.
Supporting senior travellers
With over-70s emerging as one of the fastest-growing segments of international travellers, Insure&Go has been instrumental in supporting this demographic. The company offers tailored solutions that consider all pre-existing medical conditions and provide plans with an upper age limit of 100, ensuring older Australians can travel with confidence.
Looking ahead to 2025
As the travel industry prepares for 2025, Insure&Go anticipates a more dynamic and adventurous travel landscape. The company remains committed to staying ahead of trends, ensuring comprehensive coverage for all customers, regardless of age or destination, as Australian travellers become more conscious of risks and seek policies that protect against disruptions while supporting unique and personalized itineraries.
