AA Travel Insurance benefits^

  • AA Member discount*

AA Members can get a 10% discount on new AA Travel Insurance policies. Simply provide your valid AA Membership number at time of purchase.

  • Cover before you depart

If you purchase your policy before you start your trip, it's protected from unforeseen cancellation and loss of deposits the moment your cover is confirmed. With our International Comprehensive, International Essentials, and Domestic Cancellation plans, you choose how much cancellation cover you want—so you only pay for what you need.

  • Free cover for kids

Accompanied children under 21 travelling with a parent or grandparent can be covered at no extra cost. You can also include one unrelated child per adult traveller. Just make sure you add them to your policy when you apply for cover.

  • Cover for recreational activities

Some recreational activities—like snorkelling and hot air ballooning—are automatically covered under our International Essentials, International Comprehensive and Domestic plans. If your activity isn’t included, you may be able to add cover. We have options available for motorbike riding greater than 250cc, snow sports, adventure activities and cruises. For full details on what’s covered, refer to the Policy Wording.

  • Optional Cancellation Plus Cover

Unsure if your plans might change? Cancellation Plus Cover gives you flexibility to cancel and claim some money back on our International Comprehensive or Domestic plans.

  • Cover for existing medical conditions

Some existing medical conditions (subject to meeting criteria) are already covered by our policy. For other medical conditions, you can apply for cover at the same time you purchase your policy. An additional premium may apply.

  • Cooling off period

You have 21 days to cancel your policy if you change your mind.

^This is only a summary and relates to the current on sale product (Policy Wording with a start date of 1 December 2025). Adding extra cover to the base policy will incur an additional cost. Accompanied children must be named on the Certificate of Insurance, travelling with you, under 21, not in full-time employment, and financially dependent on their usual guardian. Limits, sub-limits, conditions, and exclusions apply. Standard excess may apply. These are set out in the Policy Wording which you should read before making any decisions about an AA Travel Insurance policy.
