$318.60 for annual worldwide cover for me and partner sounds like a good deal.

Are they any good :?:

I got the email twice so does that mean I can have double the discount?

Travel Insurance Direct is quite good but recently have found a cheaper policy through Travel Insurance Online (a QBE product) for under $200/year for a single traveller.

I have used them many times over the years and have claimed twice. Have been very happy with the value for money, the claims process and their generosity/fairness when paying out claims.

That $193 deal doesn't include North America though. Depends on your needs.

 

[JohnK]

Yes you are right it does not include North America.

As I only paid ~$178 for the annual policy (further 10% discount) I am quite happy to have North America excluded. If you want to include North America as an option then the cost of the policy is ~$288 (including 10% discount) which is still a good deal.

An insurance company should primarily be judged on their willingness to promptly payout upon a reasonable claim. TID gets a big tick in this area.

There's a new offer (albeit with the same 10% discount):

Travel Insurance Direct is offering you, your family and friends 10% off the cost of travel insurance for your next holiday.
Visit: www.tid.com.au to get your quote, then enter your Winter promotion code of WINTER2011.

 

[spiff]

Thanks for that. The old one stopped working, but the Winter2011 works.
By the way, reading the PDS, there are a number of items (in particular Travel Delay) that says 'Nil excess'.
Does that mean there won't be any excess charged if they have to process a claim for Travel Delays? If so, I might consider going with TID and not checking the box which asks if I want to skip paying an excess. A couple of claims I've put in the past (not with TID) have related mostly to travel delays, nothing major like hospitalization.
