Find a policy for your trip

Whether you’re on a budget and seeking just medical, or you’re looking for a much more comprehensive coverage, compare PassportCard’s insurance covers to find a cover that suits your holiday and budget.

Comprehensive International Cover

This policy offers broader protection to ensure you are covered for some of the most common claims made by Australian travellers, including lost, damaged or delayed luggage.

Domestic Travel Insurance

While travelling domestically you can still experience cancelled flights, delayed luggage or have your wallet/purse stolen – making travel insurance just as important if you’re holidaying here in Australia as when you are travelling overseas.
