With its soft sandy beaches, wild nightlife, sprawling rice fields, exotic cuisine, and more cultural quirks than you can shake a stick at, it’s no wonder more than 800,000 Australians are drawn to the island of Bali each year.
Despite its idyllic veneer, Bali comes with some risks and can be tough to navigate in times of trouble. We don’t like to think of holidays as risk taking ventures, but the truth is, new environments, unfamiliar territory, foreign languages and exotic foods can throw any traveller for a loop. From injuries and illnesses such as Bali belly, scooter accidents or monkey bites; to cancelled flights due to volcanic ash clouds, tsunamis and earthquakes, travel insurance is essential to protect you and your Bali holiday.
It is not compulsory to have travel insurance to enter Indonesia, however it is highly recommended. If there is only one reason you should take out travel insurance, it is for medical cover. It's important to remember that you're not covered by medicare in Indonesia and the Australian Government won't pay for medical costs or emergency evacuation should the occasion arise.
Some of Australia's favoured cheap holiday destinations can be the most expensive when it comes to accessing emergency flight access out. A medivac from Bali to Australia would set you back between $30,000 - $40,000. A travel insurance policy for 7 days is likely to cost you less than 50 bucks.
Don’t let your travel bug bite you on the bum or have your trip end in financial ruin - pack travel insurance along for the ride.
Whether you're a budget-conscious backpacker, a surfer seeking waves, being tempted by the thousands of temples or seduced by sipping cocktails on a relaxing beach break, it pays to compare travel insurance policies to find the right cover for your trip.
When comparing Bali policies, it's important to consider benefits, as well as costs.
The cost of travel insurance can vary enormously! Say you’re 30 (ish) years old and you’re going to Bali for a one-week holiday. Depending on your preferred level of cover, you can expect to pay anywhere from $32 to $250.
Basic policies for around $20 – $50 you can expect (generally speaking) medical, personal liability and unexpected travel expenses.
Mid-level policies for around $30 – $60 you can get decent cover which includes benefits like medical, cancellation, personal liability as well as some cancellation and luggage cover.

Food poisoning, drink spiking, malaria, dengue fever and moped accidents are all high on the risk scale in Bali. Overseas medical costs can be huge! Luckily, your policy will cover the exorbitant expense of overseas medical cover.
Otherwise, travel insurance will usually cover unforeseen cancellations for events such as natural disasters, as well as accidents, hijackings, severe sickness or injury.
Petty crime, such as opportunistic theft, is common in Indonesia. Your travel insurance will reimburse you for lost, stolen or damaged luggage. Comprehensive cover also includes cover for theft of cash and travel documents too.
Bummer, your flights delayed, now what!? If your transport is postponed due to an unforeseen reason, your out-of-pocket accommodation, meals, and transport costs would be covered until you get back-on-track. Note, this benefit probably won't kick in if you only have a short delay which is less than 6 hours.
It's always a worry going on holiday leaving loved ones behind. Never fear, should a close relative, or the person you’re travelling with become seriously ill, injured or heaven-forbid die, your travel expenses would be claimable. Restrictions can apply for relatives age, medical conditions and where they live.
If you injure someone or are held accountable for damaged property in Bali the consequences could be disastrous, particularly when you are unfamiliar with local laws and regulations. In such an event, your policy will cover your liability costs to a degree.
Like every type of insurance there are conditions you need to pay attention to- a few insurers where you need to pay attention to their conditions of cover as explained in the table below.

No Worries: Only covers for natural disasters in Australia.
