Annual Multi-trip

If you’re planning on taking several trips a year, our Annual Multi-trip policy might be a more cost (and time) effective choice than shopping around for travel insurance every time you travel. Once purchased, you’re covered for an unlimited number of return journeys overseas, over a period of 12 months commencing on your start date of insurance. You can choose to have journeys covered up to a maximum of 30, 60 or 90 days in length.

So if you’re planning to go on several trips this year, you could buy just one policy to get cover for a year’s worth of adventure.

Tips for frequent travellers

Whether it’s a certain spot in the airport where you can unwind between flights, or a theft-proof backpack, simple things can remove the stress of travelling. Here are three simple tips for frequent travellers:

 

1. Focus on your health

With long haul flights, jet lag, changes in climate and high stress levels, it’s no surprise that travelling can take a toll on your health.

Always focus on your health while travelling, which may mean skipping the airport bar and getting an early night the day before you fly. Stay hydrated and bring healthy snacks on board the plane. But remember, buy these when on the other side of the customs check, otherwise they’ll be confiscated.

 

2. Beat the queues

Most travellers will automatically flock to the shortest line at customs or immigration. However, you may be better off looking at the speed of the employee rather than the length of the line.

Be smart about picking the time and date of your travel. A quick online search will help you find out when the peak travel times are for the airports you’ll be passing through, so you know what days and times of the week to avoid.

 

3. Check the departure zone for taxis

If you get to the arrivals gate and find a taxi queue 500 people long, it might be worth heading to departures instead (if it’s close by). The departures area will be rich in empty taxis, whose passengers have just left to enter the airport.
