Travel Insurance : 3 months comprehensive cover for under $250 AUD

TRAVEL INSURANCE : best deals with comprehensive cover found!

The time has come for me to get myself some Travel Insurance for my 12 weeks travel covering from Australia to Europe and back. I was going to purchase it earlier, but decided to leave the money in the bank for the interest benefit :)

At first i was pretty set to get my Travel Insurance thru WorldNormad who are backed up by the Lonely Planet crew/website. It has a good price, $200 AUD for 3 months. However i needed to make sure that i had insurance on my digital camera and my laptop -- with WorldNomad i could get extra cover for the Loss of Personal Belongings, at $50 per item (added to base price of insurance) but it only covered up to $1000 per item. Which meant total price of quote would be $300 AUD ...

so i kept searching around to see if i could find a better deal...

And i think i have at 1Cover.com.au a Sydney based office -- with insurance backed by Allianz. Their comprehensive cover is at $247 AUD - for 3months in Europe area - and the personal loss/damage payout is $5000 - with up to $3000 for laptop and camera.
I downloaded their Policy Wordings (in pdf) - and read thru, and it seems alright. Some areas have access fee of $100
