Downunder insurance


 

Downunder insurance offer many different types of insurance package including annual multi-trip, Adventurer, Backpacker, Comprehensive and Essentials (which is the basic package).
Downunder offer a lot of things that standard insurers do not, such as 18 month policies, free cover for under 2s, 50% off for under 18s. They automatically cover 80+ 'hazardous activities' such as white water rafting, bungee jumping, kayaking (a full list can be found in the policy documents).

General comments:

The static pages are very amateurish being very text heavy in order to get as many references to "Travel insurance" in as possible, basically making the page messy and non-sensical.
The pages where you enter your details are easy enough to fill in, though the 'Continue' button is not obvious.
The premium page is simple with the cover type and premium showing. No detail is shown on the page.
Help text is not the easiest to use and just opens a static page full of text.


Single trip / Annual multi-trip

All types of policy are done via the same system so there is no need to split them.

First screen - details
- Destination - options UK, Europe, Worldwide (excl USA & Canada), Australia & New Zealand, Worldwide (incl USA & Canada).
- Start date, select from a calendar
- Duration (from 5, 10, 17, 24, 35, 45 days or from 2 months to 18 months)
- Anyone in the party become 45 during the policy term (yes or no)
- Adults on the policy (0 - 10)
- Children on the policy, 2 years to 18 years (0 - 10)
- Infants, under 2 years (0 - 10)
- Would you like annual multi-trip cover (yes or no)
- Would you like family cover (yes or no)

Second screen - premium
Depending on the details selected on the previous screen there can be several different options here or none if there are no policies available.
The premium page is basic and to the point.
Frustratingly however there is no back button if you want to go back and amend the details.

Though the site is messy and amateurish the cover they provide and the options available seem to be more than the other insurers.
