Why Choose Digit for Australia Travel Insurance from India?

A few reasons why you should opt for Digit Insurance for your travel to Australia are:

  • Engage in Exciting Adventure Sports Without Worries - We understand that one of the things that might keep you from partaking in Australian adventure sports like surfing, scuba diving, etc. is the impending fear of ending up with an injury, treatment for which might cost you a fortune in Australia. With Digit’s international travel insurance policy, you can avail a cover for the treatment of injuries that you might incur for partaking in single-day adventure sports.
  • Get Coverage for Hospitalisation - In case you experience any form of health complications such as a grave allergy induced by hornet or wasp stings (frequent in parts of Australia) for which you require hospitalisation, the high sum insured offered by Digit would ensure that treatment costs, room rent, etc. are sufficiently covered.
  • Pay a Nominal Premium to Obtain a Comprehensive Coverage - Digit offers one of the most affordable travel insurance policies for Australia. For instance, you can obtain a sum insured of $50,000 for a trip to Australia against a minimal premium of Rs.515 for one adult for 4 days. You see, it’s a fairly low price to pay when it is about your financial stability in a foreign land.
  • Avail Coverage for Re-Issuance of Passport - In case you lose your passport, or it is stolen, expenses related to the re-issuance of the same would be covered under Digit’s international travel insurance policy.
  • Receive Compensation for Lost/Stolen Baggage - In case of baggage delay or theft in transit, you will receive a flat compensation against it.
  • Get Coverage for Emergency Treatment due to Animal Attacks - In Australia, venomous snakes or tarantulas hidden in toilets or lurking in thickets are common, and even horses and cows are not very docile. If you ever encounter an animal attack, we will cover your treatment cost along with the cost of emergency evacuation.
  • Get Rewarded to Celebrate Hole-in-One for Golf - This coverage gives you money for celebrating a hole-in-one on most golf courses worldwide, except in India. However, as per the policy, it won't cover celebrations on smaller courses, really short holes, or if temporary greens or tee boxes are used.
  • Get Coverage for Trip Cancellation - If your trip gets cancelled before your insurance period starts, we'll reimburse you for the money spent on non-refundable expenses for the peril mentioned in the policy.

 

Disclaimer: Your policy is subject to the terms and conditions mentioned in your policy schedule and the policy wording. It is important that you thoroughly review these documents before making any decisions.
