Hi,

We (2 adults and 3 children) travel Dublin -> Melbourne (one-way tickets) on 20th April. We are in holiday accommodation for 5 weeks so we give ourselves good time to find somewhere more permanent.

I presume it is advisable to get travel insurance but I'm not sure about the legalities of it. This might be a silly question but, is travel insurance still valid if you are travelling on one-way fares? Is there any particular cover I should be looking for? Any advise on who gives competitive rates?

Thanks
Gavin

Most travel insurance policies do not cover one way travel at all.

These guys have an emigration policy, which also covers you for the first days in your new country - http://www.go-walkabout.co.uk/

Yes, I've found a couple of Insurers who will do one way and then around a week in the new destination.

Does anyone know if I can get short term contents Insurance for the serviced apartment I'll be in until I get a long term rental? Any recommendations?

Go Walkabout did do a policy that covered you for 15 days after arrival which is more than handy. I would imagine that if you phone around explain you're in short term and will be moving to a different address as soon as possible they'll cover your contents as they won't change, just the address will. Then once you've got a house full of furniture you can change the amount covered.
