FAQs About Family Travel Insurance
-
What Is A Dependant?
-
A dependant is an adult traveller's child or grandchild, who is under the age of 21, and who is not in full time employment. In order to be classed as a dependant, the child must be travelling with their parent or grandparent at all times. If you have a child under 16 years of age that requires a single adult policy you will need to contact the call centre to discuss your options. Whether it’s two adults, multiple adults, or just a single adult travelling, we allow for an unlimited amount of dependants under all policies.

What Are The Benefits Of Having Travel Insurance?
-
When you travel it's all about the new and unknown which unfortunately means you never know what could go wrong. Things like medical emergencies while overseas could cost $50,000+, and then there's lost luggage, stolen belongings and delayed flights which are more expenses on top of an already costly holiday. Travel is unpredictable and travel insurance is there to help provide you peace of mind that when the unexpected happens, we'll be there to help out. We advise you to read the Product Disclosure Statement to make sure this product is right for you. If you have any questions please call our friendly call centre on 1300 368 344.

I'm Going On A Cruise Around New Zealand, What Travel Insurance Do I Need?
-
Once you're out on open water, this is classed as overseas and as such you will not be covered by the public health system. You will need to select our Cruise Pack add-on, selecting the New Zealand Cruise region. This add-on is available with Comprehensive policies. This ensures you are covered for full medical coverage whilst on board, as well as cancellations, missed departures, lost luggage, and more.
-
Can I Apply To Extend My Travel Insurance Policy?
-
Yes. You must extend your policy before it expires (11.59pm NZST/NZDT). To extend your policy, you simply need to call the call centre on 0800 000 333, email us at [email protected] or speak to a call centre representative via online chat. One of our trained travel insurance specialists will assist you in the policy extension. You'll be issued with a quote for the policy extension period. And you'll need to process a payment for this extended period. Please note there may be instances where a policy extension is not available
-
What Happens If I come Home Early?
-
Your policy covers the full duration of your trip. There are no refunds should you come home earlier than planned.
