Beware the irate brolly wielder
14.05.10
Last week to complain the Queensland resort she blithely chose online, with no other research, such as, hey, a phone call to its front desk, wasn't by the beach; it was (yikes) a five-minute walk and she wanted advice on how to claim compensation. That would be for "loss of pleasure" as the Americans put it, but even US insurance companies draw the line at such me-me victimhood these days.
Years ago, at a resort in southern Thailand, a general manager told me they had settled for a small sum with a guest who threatened to sue for "public embarrassment" after she had returned from a swim to the wrong beach (that of the neighbouring resort), become disoriented and couldn't find her room. She felt it was the resort's duty of care to have a big sign on the beach so guests would know where to swim back to; all this despite the fact one property was a blinding white high-rise possibly visible from the moon and the other a honeymoon hideaway of little bungalows.

Smart shoppers know that comparison-shopping is one of the time-honoured methods of finding the best deal on any item you are looking to buy. A travel insurance policy is no exception! Luckily, it is very easy in today’s world to find a good price on a great policy that will provide you with peace of mind while travelling. With the advent of the Internet, you can compare travel insurance policies at any time of the day or night in order to find a policy that is right for you.
To start comparing policies, you first should sit down and think about just what you want your travel insurance policy to do for you. There are many travel insurance companies who do business online, and a quick perusal of several of them will reveal that there are policy options galore for you to choose from.
Generally, your first step toward comparing online insurance policies is filling out a short form on the company website. Information such as when and where you will be travelling, the number of people to be insured, their ages, and how long you have planned to be away on your trip are generally all that is needed to give you an instant travel insurance quote.
It is important that you do not choose a travel insurance policy based entirely on the price. When it comes to the protection that travel insurance offers, price can be rather relative. Competitive rates are one thing; buying insurance that will not pay your claim is another! What you should be most interested in is the level of protection that Aussie travel insurance can offer to you.
Look for a policy that will guard you against the theft, loss, or delay of your baggage, that will insure you in case of trip cancellation, and that will protect you from the hassle and cost of trip curtailment, that is cutting short your holiday. The interruption could be due to you or anyone travelling with you becoming ill, or someone back home in your immediate family becoming severely ill or passing away.
