Travel Insurance China | Travel Insurance Direct (TID)

What can travel insurance cover me for in China?

A TID travel policy offers cover for a wide range of benefits. Here are some of them.

Don't like medical bills?

TID provides cover for unforeseen medical expenses incurred while on an overseas holiday.

Unexpected cancellation?

Your TID policy – whichever level of cover you choose – may cover you if you have to cancel your trip due to unforeseeable events outside of your control (e.g. sudden illness or a death in the family).

Airline cancelled flight?

If your flight is cancelled for operational reasons, your TID policy may cover the reasonable cost of meals and accommodation if the delay is more than six hours. Please read the details of your cover for travel limits and exclusions.

Taking luggage with you?

TID may provide cover if your luggage is stolen, permanently lost or accidentally damaged due to circumstances outside of your control.

Annual

Are you a frequent flyer? If you travel often for business, or have a few holidays coming up, our Annual Multi Trip plan could be for you. Made for globetrotters, your trips can be up to 35 days in duration and there is no limit to the number of trip you can take during a 12 month period.

China travel insurance FAQs

Am I covered for Coronavirus (COVID-19)?

All international plans include cover for overseas medical expenses. Depending on the plan you choose, there may also be cover available for some other Coronavirus-related events. Cover is explained in detail here

If only Hong Kong is listed on my purchased policy, will it also cover China?

We class Hong Kong as the same region of coverage as China, so you will have coverage for China. If you know you are travelling to Hong Kong and China, you’ll need to list them both as destinations on your policy.

Do I need a visa for a 48 or 72-hr stopover in China on my way to Europe?

For all visa questions, you will need to refer to Smartraveller or Australian consular assistance in China.

Will I be covered for entering Tibet?

By specifying China on the policy, this will cover you for Tibet.

Will I be covered if my visa is denied at the entrance into China via my stay in Hong Kong?

There is a general exclusion in our policy for this, which means failure to obtain a relevant visa is not covered on the policy.

Can I choose to come back to Australia on my own accord for medical help if needed as I am worried about the standard of the hospitals in China?

You will need to contact our Emergency Assistance team, as it would need to be assessed what the best option is for you. Just keep in mind that your policy will end the moment you come back to Australia.
