The vast expanse of the Andes, the stunning beaches of Rio and the Gaucho cuisine of Argentina – that's just the tip of South American iceberg! However, with food poisoning, the ever-present threat of robbery and theft there's a lot that can go wrong. That's why TID offers cover for a South American Adventure.
Here are some of the cover benefits available with your policy.
Insurance if you have to cancel your trip due to unforeseeable events outside of your control (e.g. sudden illness).
If your flight is cancelled by the Airline for operational reasons we cover the reasonable cost of meals and accommodation.
Compensation for unforeseen medical expenses incurred whilst on an overseas holiday
Cover back to Australia if a medical practitioner requires you to be medically escorted home due to a sudden illness or injury that happens on your trip.
Just like choosing the perfect destination for your next getaway, selecting a travel insurance plan to suit your needs may be just as important. We have four plans to choose from, each offering a different level of cover. Check out each of the plans below where you'll find loads of information about each one.
Our most popular and comprehensive plan, the Works offers broad cover for international trips including unlimited cover for costs such as medical expenses and cancellation as well as added benefits.
Sticking to a shoestring budget? Our budget plan is designed for travellers who want coverage for all the important things, like hospital bills and stolen luggage, without breaking the bank.
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.

South America is just a vast continent that there's no single ‘perfect time’ to visit. For example, June may be the best time to visit the Amazon but February is the best time to visit the Galapagos. We suggest you look into the best time to travel country by country as opposed to the whole continent.
Robbery and assault can be common in some parts of South America. TID has a 24/7 Emergency Assistance team that is on hand to help if you become a victim. After contacting local authorities and obtaining a police report, you should contact our 24/7 emergency team. You should call them as soon as possible and they will arrange for medical care on the ground for you (if needed).
If your flights are cancelled, delayed or rescheduled due to severe weather conditions in Nepal, cover is available for reasonable additional travel and accommodation expenses.
