Choose Your Excess
Choose the excess that best suits you. Optiong for a lower excess means you'll pay less if you need to claim.

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.* Sub-limits apply
^ You do not have cover under these sections while travelling in New Zealand. # Limits are per policy regardless of persons the claim relates to.
