Basics Cover

Travelling overseas on a budget doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have travel insurance for the unexpected. Our Basic Cover is here for you.

As the saying goes, let’s get back to basics. In many cases, basic means the most simple. In our case, however, the World2Cover basic travel insurance package can still provide you with the thorough cover you need for your trip. Our basic cover gives you coverage in the areas you may need it most.

What is covered with basic travel insurance?

World2Cover basic travel insurance provides you with added peace of mind on a wide range of items. From lost luggage to medical expenses, we have a level of cover for you.

Our old for new policy feature is one of the many uniquely offered experiences that allows us to stand out from the crowd. Old for new means that we keep the same level of value of your damaged items, up to the policy limits^#. Please note that a pair or set of items is treated as one item (e.g. a pair of earrings, a camera body and its standard lens and accessories, or a set of golf clubs or a drone with its camera). If we decide to replace your luggage, we will replace it with brand new luggage.
