When you're caught up with the excitement of heading off overseas on your first - or even your tenth - adventure, subjects such as contaminated water, bed bugs, security, losing your luggage, the right level of backpacking insurance and the possibility of landing in hospital tend to fade into the background. You know each one is important but surely these are things other people have to worry about.

The thought of the carefree backpacker life, whether it is across Asia, the UK or Europe or even around the world, is very alluring, and that is exactly what 1Cover strives to give you Care free travel. But it can only happen through careful fore-thought. Just as many performances or events seem to flow effortlessly, they only achieve that flow because of careful preparation and planning.

We know from experience, that with this relaxed style of travelling there are certain risks. 1Cover provides quality protection from 28 days to 12 months at realistic prices.

Hostels are one of the most popular forms of accommodation when backpacking. They are great fun and a perfect way to meet up with many like-minded travellers. Sadly, not everyone is as honest as we wish to believe, making insurance against theft of documents, credit cards, travellers' cheques, cash and personal effects highly advisable.

Other ways we secure your peace of mind is by offering:

  • Unlimited cover for cancellation fees and lost deposits refunding the costs of airfares, tours or events should your plans go haywire
  • Unlimited overseas emergency medical assistance and medical, hospital and dental expenses
  • Up to $1,000 cover for delayed or disrupted travel

All travel has an element of risk. Thinking ahead and careful preparation will reduce the risk considerably in most areas. Precautions such as visiting your doctor and dentist and your local travel medical centre for all relevant treatment prior to departure, and checking with the NZ Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade travel specific web site, www.safetravel.govt.nz, for the latest travel advice for your destination will go a long way to ensuring your trip is enjoyable and eventful for all the right reasons.
