this insurance policy is good because you can buy it after you have commenced your trip (most require a purchase prior to departure) and you can extend and update online.

If you read their policy document it probably wouldn't cover travel to Colombia... They have some very wide ranging exclusion clauses that would probably render travel to Colombia unclaimable, which is pretty much what I would expect.

may a thousand mangy wombats shit in your billabong

Hi ozg, thanks - can u explain a bit more pls? I have checked out the DFAT website and Colombia is not on a travel exclusion or reconsider list (as per the statement in number 10 of the exclusion)

10. Your claim arises because you did not follow advice in the mass media of any government or other official body's warning:

a. against travel to a particular country or parts of a country;

The site states the below which I guess would negate cover in those areas, and in relation to a terroist incident there would be no cover wherever one might be in the world.:

''We advise you not to travel to the departments of Santander, Putumayo, Arauca, Cauca (excluding Popayan), Caqueta, Guaviare, Valle de Cauca (excluding Cali), Antioquia (excluding Medellin), Narino (excluding Pasto), Norte de Santander (excluding Cucuta), southern parts of Meta and the city of Buenaventura due to very high threat of terrorism from guerrilla organisations and drug related criminal activity. There is a high risk to your personal safety in these areas. ''

I will however contact them and see what they say; and let you know. I mainly want the cover for emergency medical.
