Do I need travel insurance for Bali?
Yes — strongly recommended. Bali is in Indonesia which has no reciprocal health agreement with Australia. A medical emergency, hospitalisation, or medical evacuation from Bali can cost $30,000–$150,000 AUD without insurance. Quality Standard cover for a 2-week Bali trip typically costs $50–120 per adult, making it exceptional value for peace of mind.
What does travel insurance cover?
Standard cover typically includes: emergency medical and hospitalisation, medical evacuation back to Australia, trip cancellation and interruption (for covered reasons like illness or natural disaster), lost or delayed baggage, travel delay, and personal liability. Comprehensive policies add rental car excess, more cancellation reasons, and higher baggage limits. Adventure policies add cover for skiing, scuba diving, motorbike riding (up to a certain cc), and other higher-risk activities.
Is credit card travel insurance good enough?
Maybe — but read the fine print carefully. Many premium credit cards (e.g., Platinum Qantas/Velocity cards) include complimentary travel insurance when you pay for flights on the card. However, credit card policies often have lower limits, more exclusions, age caps (often 70–75), and require activation. They're suitable for healthy travellers under 65 on straightforward trips. For older travellers, pre-existing conditions, or adventure activities, a standalone policy is safer.
