Our policies only allow two adults per policy. The Product Disclosure Statement (PDS), which can be found in the TID Policy Hub, is your insurance go to page. Not only does it provide all the information about a policy, but it also includes definitions that assist you in navigating through the insurance process.

All international plans include cover for overseas medical expenses. Depending on your plan, additional COVID-related events may also be covered.

Our Customer Service team is just a phone call away, ready and able to help you navigate your policy, and what you may be covered for. We also continually make updates to keep customers informed and publish information on major travel events on our website.

When you buy a TID travel insurance policy, your payment is made securely online via a secure payment gateway.

We use a 128-Bit SSL encrypted payment, this means your card information is never stored, we simply receive authorisation from the banking institution.

TID is PCI DSS compliant which means we comply with the Payment Card Industry's Data Security Standard.

If you buy over the phone when you contact us, your payment will still be processed through our website, with the same level of security.

This is a brief summary of cover only and does not include the full terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions. Read the PDS before purchasing. 

When you are completing your claim online, we ask you for electronic copies of all documents. However, for all claims, you need to be able to provide us with the originals if we request them.

When booking your travel arrangements, keep your original documents and receipts to make claiming easier if required. 

While travelling, keep medical reports or police statements saved or filed safely until after your claim has been finalised. You'll usually need to upload or email clear copies of all documents, and we may request originals later for verification – so don't throw anything away.

If your documents are lost or stolen, provide supporting evidence (e.g., a police report or written confirmation).

Important: Scan or photograph your documents before travelling for easy access if needed overseas.
