Travel insurance

When you travel, there is so much that’s out of your control: cancelled flights, missing luggage, sickness, accidents, weather, political unrest. All of which can disrupt your plans.

Having the right travel insurance in place can protect you against those unforeseen travel misfortunes. We can cover you for an array of unplanned situations and any subsequent financial losses when you're travelling both in New Zealand or overseas. Travel insurance means help is only a phone call away.

What does travel insurance cover?

Not all travel risks are covered by common travel and holiday insurance policies. Risks that can be covered include:

emergency medical care or evacuation
additional expenses such as flight rescheduling, extra accommodation costs, cancellation of pre-booked tourist attractions following an accident which happens during the trip
reasonable costs to return home if a close relative or business partner suddenly becomes seriously ill or dies
accommodation and expenses when bad weather affects your travel plans
someone stealing your stuff, or your luggage getting lost
having to be swiftly evacuated from a politically unstable area
your legal liability for injuring other people or damaging to their property

Our brokers can advise on the best protection for your circumstances and travel plans. They offer expert advice on a range of international and domestic travel options.
