What is Travel Insurance

Travel Insurance provides cover for the unexpected things that arise when you are travelling overseas or in New Zealand. When you’re overseas it can be overwhelming if you suddenly fall ill or have an accident. Having travel insurance can provide access to overseas emergency assistance and cover for overseas medical and hospital expenses to help you when you need it most. 

Travel Insurance can also provide cover for costs like travel delays, cancellation or cover for your luggage, personal effects or valuables that were lost, stolen or accidentally damaged during your trip.

We have a range of cover options for you to choose from. For international travel we offer Basic and Comprehensive plans for single trips overseas, or Multi-Trip plan if you are a frequent traveller looking to cover multiple trips in a 12-month period.

If you’re travelling around Aotearoa our Domestic Travel Insurance plan is available for you.

Terms, conditions, limits, sub-limits and exclusions apply, and these are set out in the Policy Wording.
