PassportCard, Australia’s only travel insurance offering instant payouts, has announced a new partnership with Dreamtime Resorts aimed at bringing domestic travel insurance to the forefront of Aussies planning their domestic holidays.
As a top-rated accommodation provider, Dreamtime Resorts—featuring 18 properties across popular Australian destinations from the Gold Coast to Port Douglas—is committed to ensuring their guests are well-protected. Through this partnership, Dreamtime Resorts, via their SQ Travel Insurance brand, guests can access coverage for delayed and lost luggage, travel cancellations and disruptions, rental vehicle insurance excess, and more.
The new partnership comes as research from PassportCard uncovered that more than half of Australians (51%) do not take out travel insurance for domestic trips, a worrying trend given the amount of domestic travel that occurs each year.
“Travel insurance often takes a back seat when people are planning trips within Australia, but the reality is that disruptions can happen anywhere. Whether it’s a cancelled flight, lost luggage, or an unexpected incident, it’s important to be prepared. Our partnership with PassportCard ensures that Dreamtime Resorts guests who opt for coverage can enjoy peace of mind and most importantly, their holiday, knowing they’re protected with instant payouts and comprehensive coverage.” said Bryan Fitzpatrick, Managing Director of Dreamtime Resorts.
Research from PassportCard reinforces the need for domestic travel insurance, revealing that Sydney (41%), Brisbane (35%), and Perth (22%) were identified by Aussies as some of the most problematic destinations world-wide, with common issues such as theft, medical emergencies, and flight disruptions being reported. Yet, many travellers were and remain unprotected, unaware of the risks involved in domestic travel.
“As Australians continue to embrace the excitement of international travel, they are also discovering the beauty of local adventures. However, many still assume travel insurance is only necessary for overseas trips,” said Peter Klemt, CEO of PassportCard. “Our partnership with Dreamtime Resorts is just one of many steps we are taking to help change that perception, and we’re thrilled to have them on board. With instant payouts and 24/7 support, we’re ensuring that domestic travellers can explore Australia without worrying about unexpected disruptions”, said Peter Klemt, CEO of PassportCard.
With two million PassportCard’s issued worldwide and a 24/7/365 Australian based support team, PassportCard is well placed to ensure Aussies are appropriately insured when they travel.
