-
Am I covered in the event of a volcanic eruption?
-
Yes, in the event that your holiday is directly affected by an unforeseen natural disaster you would be covered for cancellation, travel disruptions, additional accommodation expenses and lost deposits. Your cover will depend upon the plan that you purchased. In order to be covered for volcanic ash cloud disruptions you would need to have purchased your policy before news of the natural disaster hits the mainstream media.
-
What should I do if my flights are affected because of volcanic ash?
-
Volcanic ash is a serious safety concern for aircrafts, and airlines monitor the airspace closely. If your trip is affected, your first port of call should be to contact your travel agent or travel provider regarding altering your trip. The airline should be accountable to provide you with the service for which you have paid them and are likely to offer penalty free options. If you're stranded and need to pay for additional accommodation, enjoy your extended holiday and keep your receipts for your claim.
-

BALI QUICK GUIDE
There is no place quite like the 'Island of the Gods' that is Bali. With beautiful scenery, scorching sun, countless waves, and spirituality, it's no wonder that Bali is top of the pops for Australian holiday makers. This island paradise has something for everyone.
A touristy destination such as Bali seems an unlikely choice for those wanting to escape crowds, but there is plenty of serentity for those seeking solitude and prepared to get off the tourist trail. Beyond the chaos of Kuta, the sophisticated shopping in Seminyak and the lounging in Legian, Bali has a diverse culture full of rituals, festivals and ancient culture.
No matter which kind of Bali experience you're planning, Zoom can cover your trip with a range of plans. You can minimise your costs with Medical Only cover, or choose to buy Comprehensive Travel Insurance for extra protection to cover things like travel delays and cancellation. Compare Zoom's Travel Insurance plans online today.
VISAS FOR BALI
However, if you’re intending on staying longer than 30 days, you will need to apply for a visa on arrival (USD $35), this can be paid in cash or on card. Alternatively, you can apply for this and other visas from an Embassy or Consulate of Indonesia.
It is important to note that your passport must be valid for a minimum of 6 months and your passport must have a minimum of 2 free pages available.
ON ARRIVAL
As you step outside the airport, you will see a swarm of drivers and hotel staff holding up name signs. Arranging a driver from back home, before you go to greet you on arrival with a friendly smile and a cool bottle of water is ideal, but if you didn’t pre-arrange a pick-up, just head towards a taxi service counter. Otherwise you'll be hounded by vocal drivers vying for your business, by opting for a metered taxi service, you can avoid rookie ripoffs. Note that you will need to pay CASH to the driver so remember to have some local currency or get some out from the ATM.
GETTING AROUND
BEST TIME TO VISIT
WHERE TO GO
The choices are endless, so do your research. Consider your Bali bucket list and who you’re travelling with. If you’re looking for more than Bintang and beanbags, check out InBali’s bucket list.
MUST KNOW TIPS
Indonesia is located within the Pacific Ring of Fire, known as the world's hotbed of volcanic activity and earthquakes. Needless to say, we've had our fair share of questions on volcano and ash cloud cover.
