Concerned about coronavirus affecting your travel plans? Qantas Travel Insurance includes cover for some coronavirus related events.
Coronavirus has changed travel for everyone and even though you might be ready to hit the road (or sky), it’s more important than ever to know exactly what you are and aren’t covered for before you go.
Cover for some coronavirus related events is available on all our plans, but the types of benefits and benefit limits vary between international and domestic plans.
As much as we’d love to cover every coronavirus-related scenario that a traveller can think of, that’s not what travel insurance is designed to do, so read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for Australian residents, or Policy Document for New Zealand residents carefully to know what is, and isn’t, covered.

The Coronavirus Travel Costs benefit, available on our International and Australian Comprehensive plans, includes cover for the following events up to a limit of $2,500 per primary traveller:
What we don’t cover:
The Coronavirus Travel Costs benefit (which has a limit of $2,500 per primary traveller) is separate to the Overseas Medical Expenses and Medical Evacuation/Repatriation benefits (which have higher limits). Rest assured that if you incur medical expenses overseas for an event covered under the policy, including if you contract coronavirus, and it’s not related to an existing medical condition, cover is available for up to 12 months from the date the illness first appears. Make sure you contact our Emergency Assistance team if you need medical help overseas, and as soon as possible if you need to attend hospital.
