The benefits of taking out group travel insurance
Taking out travel insurance for your group comes with a wide range of added benefits, such as:
Better value for money:
You will receive a discount when you buy travel insurance as a group compared to buying travel insurance individually. Fast Cover offers a discount of 5% or more and you'll also save on Reduced Excess & Rental Vehicle Insurance Excess options whenever you book insurance for two travellers on a duo policy.
Convenience:
Friends travel insurance can also be more convenient. If you’re travelling as a group, you’ll have fewer policy numbers to remember and only one set of contact details to take with you, rather than carrying around a stack of paperwork.
Consistency:
Most importantly, travel insurance for your group comes with all the features and benefits of an individual insurance policy, but because you’ve bought travel insurance for a group, you know that everyone in the group has the same high level of cover. In the event that something does happen whilst you’re away, your friends will be the ones best placed to help you. If you’re all insured by the same insurance company, you’ll have the contact details at hand for emergency assistance immediately. This can avoid the added stress of trying to work out who's insured with who and find someone’s travel insurance details in a critical situation.
Fast and simple:
We make buying travel insurance fast and simple by automatically covering 43 Pre-Existing Medical Conditions with our Friends travel insurance so you don’t have to fill a bunch of individual medical forms!
See our Pre-Existing Medical Conditions page for more details.
Who should get group travel insurance?
Although the saying goes that there's safety in numbers, getting good insurance before you travel is still crucial in case something goes wrong or you experience an emergency overseas.
Our travel insurance can provide cover for your group’s health, luggage and belongings, and booking fees while you're travelling.
Your group could be:
- A group of friends going overseas for a holiday, bucks or hens party.
- A family travelling for a birthday, anniversary or family reunion.
- A beautiful destination wedding overseas.
- A team or sporting group attending a tournament in another state or country.
- A school group planning an exchange or trip for one night or more.
- A group of employees attending a corporate event or conference overseas.
Booking travel insurance for your group through Fast Cover means you’re covered by a travel insurance specialist and you can save some money for your trip!
If you purchase policies for two or more adults, we'll provide you with a 5% discount when compared to purchasing insurance individually for the same level of cover.
Just provide a few details about your trip and the travellers and we’ll give you a competitive quote for your group travel insurance.
