Corporate Travel Insurance

31% of Australians have travelled overseas in the past three years without travel insurance. For frequent travellers, annual travel insurance cover is significantly cheaper than taking out cover for one-off trips.

"All travel carries with it inherent risks, even short-term travel to familiar overseas locations for meetings and conferences. Risks from political tensions, civil unrest, fraud, severe weather, natural disasters and security of corporate information exist in countries that are not usually considered dangerous."
Smart Traveller website, 2017
