Travel Insurance
Hidden Trails by Horseback Pty Ltd does not offer refunds for their rides, therefore we highly recommend taking out travel insurance when riding in the Victorian High Country and The Kimberley, Western Australia. In most cases you should only expect to pay between $10-$30 per day for travel insurance.
Along with the obvious benefits, some of the others include:
* Amendment and cancellation costs
* Car rental excess
* Travel delay expenses
* Missed connections on flights
With the remoteness of the High Country and The Kimberley and despite having Medicare or Private Health insurance, taking out a travel insurance policy will cover for personal liability, disability and loss of income if a serious injury were to occur.
We can recommend https://www.covermore.com.au as an optional online travel insurance provider, alternately talk to your local travel agency for options.
