Compare Travel Insurance for Vietnam

Renting a scooter or motorbike is one of the most common ways to explore Vietnam, from the buzzing streets of Ho Chi Minh City to the scenic Hai Van Pass. However, road conditions can be chaotic, and accidents involving tourists are common. Motorbike coverage (a separate option) ensures medical expenses are covered, provided you hold a valid Australian motorbike licence and wear a helmet (subject to limits and conditions, see the PDS for details).

While Vietnam has relaxed entry requirements, Covid-19 can still impact travel plans. Our policies include Covid-19 cover, helping with medical expenses if you test positive abroad or need to cancel due to serious illness before departure.

Vietnam experiences seasonal typhoons and heavy flooding, particularly between June and November. These extreme weather conditions can disrupt flights, damage belongings, and force sudden itinerary changes. Travel insurance can reimburse prepaid flights, accommodation, and tours if your trip is cancelled or delayed for reasons covered within your policy.

Vietnam is an exciting and dynamic country, but crowded markets, night buses, and tourist hotspots can be prime locations for pickpockets. If you’re carrying expensive items like smartphones, cameras, laptops, or other valuables, lost and stolen belongings cover can help protect you financially against theft, loss, or damage. This is particularly useful if you plan on capturing your travels with high-end photography equipment (subject to limits and conditions, see the PDS for details).

Vietnam is an adventure lover’s paradise, offering everything from trekking in Sapa’s misty mountains to kitesurfing in Mui Ne. If you plan to take part in activities like rock climbing, caving, or diving in Phu Quoc, you must check your policy to ensure your specific adventure plans are included.

Many travellers visit Vietnam’s stunning coastal destinations, including the famous HaLong Bay cruises or the islands of Phu Quoc and Con Dao. If you’re planning to travel by boat, travel insurance ensures that medical emergencies at sea, missed departures due to delays, or trip interruptions are covered. Boat trips that do not exceed more than one night are automatically covered by your travel insurance policy with us. If you are planning a boat trip longer than one night, you may wish to consider a Cruise Cover add-on to ensure you are covered for multi-night cruises.
