As an exercise in another thread here, I checked out how much I'm saving this year with Complimentary Travel Insurance from Allianz through CBA, compared to buying it outright from the Defence Health site (where I get some sort of discount). .For our two trips this year, without putting in the pre-existing conditions, the cost would have been $1117 for our trip to Europe and $185 for the trip to Thailand. So our card saved us $1302 this year.
The cost saving would have been similar for our trips to Europe and Bali last year, where Allianz paid out $2433 for a trip cancellation and for accommodation and meals, after being stuck in Bali due to the volcano erupting. And the cost saving for our month long trip to the USA the year before that, would have been around $460.
Given the small annual fee on the card, this is exceptional value in my opinion, for anyone doing some regular vacation travel.
Has anybody else done the exercise of valuing their complimentary travel insurance against buying the same policy outright?
