Insurance services provided by Cover More

It is a pre requisite that before joining a project with GVI you have adequate travel insurance. There are a number of unforeseen events such as illness, lost luggage, delays etc that need to be considered before leaving home for your project.

There are a number of products on the market that offer a very low level of coverage which will not be acceptable on a GVI trip. Please be wary of these. They might include free travel insurance with your credit card, bank account etc. Sometimes they only cover you for the period you are actually travelling for, so please make sure you read the small print carefully.

GVI has arranged travel insurance with Cover More who have 20 years experience in the travel industry and have had over 10 million satisfied policy holders. Last year alone, over 1 million Australians travelled with them.

If something does go wrong you have 24 hour emergency assistance and their service team is available 7 days a week, online and over the phone.

NB:

  • You must live in Australia to purchase this insurance
  • Please read the details of the policy carefully before purchasing it. If you have any questions please contact Cover More direct on 1300 72 88 22.
  • As the name suggests Cover More do cover a very extensive range of activities. However there are certain specialist activities such as those on the Bushwise FGASA course that may not be covered.
