Australians' Bizarre Travel Insurance Claims Revealed
"One man fell over on a ferry in Croatia and broke his leg, and complications resulted in him being sent to London and eventually back to Australia to get it fixed. This would have cost him over 82,000 dollars without travel insurance," Carter said.
Having travel insurance also paid off for a man whose suitcase, worth 13000 dollars, and passport fell off the back of a boat in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador.
Another traveller had a snowboarding accident where their snowboard went one way, and they went another, causing 66,000 dollars worth of damage, which was covered by their policy.
Holidaymakers are advised to check their insurance policy carefully and make sure they purchase the right type of cover for their trip.
"Always read through the insurance policy most policies are reasonable and can cover you up to a certain amount of damages," Lisa Ferrari, travel.com.au General Manager Brand, said.
Travel insurance can cover flight delays, natural disasters and certain medical expenses.
The cost of travel insurance is usually based on the type of cover requested, the age of the insured, the travel destination and the duration of stay.
