G'day Birders, the lack of responses I got to this question leads me to
believe that it is as big a problem as I thought it might be.
I was asked which company I had trouble with, I have no hesitation to say
that it was Travel Insurance Direct (TID) with an on-line policy. When asked
if they covered the specifics of our claim they said yes, until it came time
to issue the cheque for the claim.
I guess that's just insurance for you.

G'day birders, I have a question for the list that I am sure many have had
to deal with before.
I am currently planning a trip to the NT as a combined family and birding
holiday and have booked a 4WD camper to 2 weeks. The thing is that with
any car hire the excess insurance the car hire companies charge per day is
ridiculous. Last trip I took out travel insurance and had to actually make
a claim (I thought I was set, had insurance), but the buggers got picky
and only paid part of the claim..that another story. Not going to use them
again.
What I need to know is, has anyone found a reputable travel insurance firm
that not only pays the claims it says it will, but more importantly has a
level of excess that covers 4wd vehicles which have a much higher level of
excess ($7500!!!) and at a cheaper daily rate than the hire company (not
hard to do with hire company charges of between 25 to $80 per day).
I'm sure someone will have the answer.
Thanks
Graham Turner
