Whatever type of traveller you are or whatever budget you have, Fast Cover may be able to help with your travel insurance. Just choose the level of cover that best suits you and focus on enjoying your adventure!

Who should buy a one-way travel insurance policy?

Does the freedom and flexibility of a one-way trip appeal to you? Ready to pack your bags and book a one-way flight with a vague itinerary and no set return date? Or heading overseas on a working holiday and not sure when you'll come home? Or, perhaps you're embarking on an epic backpacking adventure with no plan at all that will see you travelling the globe or even living in a new country for a while?

You're not alone! Thousands of travellers head overseas every year without a return ticket, not knowing exactly when they'll be returning.

Wherever you're going and whatever your plan is when you get there, whether you’re relocating, working or starting the adventure of a lifetime, we’ll help tailor your insurance to best suit you.

A one-way travel insurance policy may be worth considering if you are:

Moving overseas temporarily:

If you’re moving overseas temporarily for your job, to be with a partner, or just to experience life in a new city for a while, a Fast Cover policy can provide protection for both you and your belongings while you're in transit and once you arrive. You can also use our insurance as a bridge until you get set up and secure insurance in your new home.

Working overseas:

We can cover your working holiday whether you're planning to work your way around the world, or travelling specifically to one destination for the entire time. You might be working the snow season at a ski resort in Canada, or taking up an international business internship in China, or just picking up any odd jobs you can find along the way to sustain your travels.

Travelling to different destinations:

To ensure you have cover for your travel destinations, you should specify all the countries that you plan on visiting. You can add other countries after you've bought your policy and during your trip too - let us know and we'll add it to your policy for you. Sometimes an additional charge may apply.

If you're headed overseas without any set itinerary, just select the region that includes all the countries you may want to visit, and then you're free to travel within all those eligible countries as you please

Possibility of extending:

If you're having too much fun travelling, or another great work opportunity comes up and you want to stay overseas a bit longer, you can easily extend your policy online up to a maximum of two years. If you want to keep travelling even longer, just contact us to take out a new policy after that.

What are the advantages of one-way travel insurance?

The importance of travel insurance can’t be overstated for a one-way trip.

Your health and safety are always a number one priority and if you’re relocating, you may also have more belongings and higher value items with you than if you were taking a short trip.

Our insurance can come in handy if you experience a medical emergency by covering the cost of treatment, hospital costs and medicines.

We also cover your belongings and personal items. If they’re lost or stolen, insurance can cover the cost of their replacement.

You can also receive emergency funds for essential items if the arrival of your belongings has been delayed by the airline.

Easy to get travel insurance

I have had several trips covered by Fast Cover and have only just obtained another policy for my next trip.

As I enjoy great health I have had no worries at all with my coverage, and the pricing was good value. Extremely happy with customer support.
