Response to Cover for Travel to Israel
Following the Australian Government’s updated travel advice for Israel, Go Insurance has resumed issuing policies for travel to that region. However, the following General Exclusion 2 will apply to any claims related to the ongoing situation in Israel:
General Exclusion 2:
Loss or damage directly or indirectly occasioned by, happening through, or in consequence of war, invasion, acts of foreign enemies, hostilities (whether war be declared or not), civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection, military or usurped power, or the confiscation, nationalisation, requisition, destruction, or damage to property by or under the order of any government or public or local authority.
Coverage Clarification:
- Section 1 Coverage:
- Coverage under Section 1 may apply to cancelled or curtailed travel arrangements, provided that they meet our predefined criteria for eligible events.
- This coverage does not extend to any events connected to hostilities, such as travel delays or evacuation due to escalated hostilities.
- Medical and Other Claims:
- Claims for medical expenses or other claims unrelated to the hostilities will be assessed as usual.
Our Emergency Assistance team will continue to provide non-financial support to policyholders impacted by hostilities and assist with medical or other claims unrelated to the current hostilities.
We suggest all travellers remain up to date with the latest advice from Smartraveller.
