The travel agent quoted us $204 for 14 days in Bali for a couple/family - wasn't thrilled with that - so did a net search and found a few options.
Being a highly thorough and careful person, I researched the travel insurance companies, their fine print, who their GRC (Global Response Centre) was and who were their insurance underwriters etc. Armed with that info - I compared apples with apples and ended up getting the insurance from www.travelinsurancedirect.com.au
The www.travelinsurancedirect.com.au couple/family quote is $104 and I opted to pay an extra A$25 to remove the excess of $100 - just in case... so paid $129 for the insurance via Credit Card...
Our highest concerns were
a) Cancellation Costs >> Unlimited
b) Medical Insurance >> Unlimited
c) Luggage >> $24K
d) Personal Items >> max $700 per item not including cameras, videos, laptops up to max of $4000
So fingers crossed... hope this information helps...
