Travelling these days is a risky business, with the threat of illness, accident and loss rearing its ugly head. With medical bills running into tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars (an average hospital in Asia charges $1000 per day, and in the US over $2000 a day), travel insurance is an absolute must especially if you are away for several months at a time.
Our long stay and medical only (budget) policies are designed for those going away for a long period who do not wish to have the full cover levels offered by the comprehensive cover but instead wish to be covered against the risk of crippling medical and emergency bills, a must in today's world, as well as some baggage and loss cover. This generally applies to backpackers and students travelling away for extended periods as well as many others who wish to save some money on their holiday insurance!
The key features of this insurance are:
- Great value policies available instantly over the internet or phone
- Cover for medical emergencies and evacuation, and personal liability
- 24x7 international emergency assistance telephone hotline
- Optional cover for baggage, documents and credit cards with our long stay policy
Our budget, medical only travel insurance policy is designed for both long term trips and short holidays where you do not want cover for anything except your potential medical expenses and liability for accidents. The New Zealand Backpacker travel insurance policy covers you for what you need so you can have peace of mind without breaking the bank!
