Why should I consider travel insurance for Hawaii?
Mai Tais, tiki torches, world famous surf and beaches for days! No wonder Hawaii is the holiday powerhouse it is. However, with natural disasters, expensive medical costs and the ever-present threat of spam related mishaps, there's a lot that can go wrong on your island getaway. TID offers travel insurance for Hawaii for those 'What if' moments.
What do I need to know when travelling to Hawaii?
Hawaii’s beautiful beaches, friendly and relaxed atmosphere, and incredible shopping are just some of the reasons why Aussies flock to Hawaii on a regular basis, with so many Islands and secluded beaches to relax on, the opportunities are endless. But sometimes paradise can also turn into a nightmare if severe weather events, injury, or illness gate crashes your trip.
Hawaii is known to experience severe weather such as flash flooding and volcanic activity. If adverse weather affects your connecting transport, or a natural disaster occurs and you cannot use your booked accommodation, you may be covered for the related expenses to find other transport or accommodation.
Hawaii also offers plenty of ocean-based activities such as windsurfing, scuba diving and kayaking. But you don’t want to be left out of pocket if you have an accident and need medical help or even worse if you have to be repatriated back home to Australia.
Always check the travel requirements and restrictions for the countries you are planning to visit as rules and restrictions are subject to change. Smartraveller is a good place to start. The TID travel alerts page is also worth regular viewing in the lead up to your holiday.
TID travel insurance coverage includes:
- Cover for overseas medical expenses and cover for some Coronavirus-related events
- Flexible levels of cancellation cover
- Medical repatriation if you're severely injured or fall ill abroad.
- Cover for lost, stolen or damaged valuables.
- Cover for lost or delayed baggage.
- Cover for cancellation or trip delay.
- Optional cover for high value items which you can add at time of purchase
- Giving back to the community: through the Footprints Network program you can make a micro donation to a project of your choice when you purchase a policy. It will have a positive impact on others no matter where you travels take you.

What do I do if I need urgent assistance?
