If you're already overseas and have forgotten your travel insurance, it's not too late. We provide travel insurance to residents of New Zealand who are already overseas.

Our Already Overseas policies provide the same benefits as our comprehensive policy, meaning you get the same cover as our top level of cover. You must be overseas when you purchase this policy, as it is designed for those travellers who have forgotten their insurance or decided to extend their trip.
Please note: there is a waiting period of 72 hours, from the departure date of your insurance, which applies to all claims arising from, related to or associated with any injury or sickness. There is also a non-removable excess of $200.
Travel with total peace of mind. If anything goes wrong you've got unlimited emergency assistance and medical cover.
If the unexpected happens and plans change, you've got unlimited cover for cancellation and lost deposits.
You'll enjoy all the same benefits as our comprehensive policies, our highest level of travel insurance cover.
Planning to rent a car to get around on your overseas trip? We'll cover rental vehicle excess up to $5,000.
Travelling with valuables or your fave bag? You've got cover for up to $15,000 worth of luggage and personal effects.
You can travel on the same policy as your partner, your mates, a family member. In fact, up to 25 people can go on the one policy.

Going on a cruise? Stay safe and ensure you're properly covered on your cruise holiday by adding our Cruise Pack to your policy. See PDS for full details.
If you're hitting the slopes during your overseas trip you'll need to add the Winter Sports Pack to your policy to ensure you're covered. It provides cover for winter sports activities such as skiing or snowboarding, plus a whole heap more benefits. See PDS for full details.
Choose the excess that best suits you. Optiong for a lower excess means you'll pay less if you need to claim.
Unless otherwise specified in the PDS: Sections 12, 12A, 12B & 13 - If you claim for the same or similar cancelled services/facilities or alternative arrangements under sections 12, 12A, 12B & 13, we will only pay the higher of the two amounts, not both. Benefit limits are per adult traveller. For accompanying dependants the policy benefits are shared with the adult traveller.
^^ You only have this cover for these sections if the relevant pack has been purchased.
Prompt support when unexpected happened. I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have it when I got robbed.
Had to make a claim when my wife took ill & had to visit a doctor in the USA. Put a claim in back home ... accepted and paid within two weeks.
First time I've had to make a claim. Speed of process was quite unbelievable.
You cannot apply for or purchase cover for pre-existing conditions under the Already Overseas policy.
No. Our Already Overseas policy has a non-removable excess of $200.
This policy is only available to travellers aged 74 years and under.
Under the Already Overseas policy you need to make sure that your journey is no longer than a maximum of twelve months and that your journey ends within New Zealand.
Your policy covers the full duration of your trip. There are no refunds should you come home earlier than planned.
If you’re planning on heading off for anything more than a month, there are a few things you need to think about.
They may seem like a good idea at the time, but these travel items are more pointless than practical.
The world is full of cultural differences, and a gesture that’s acceptable in NZ may be highly offensive in another country.
