Going on a cruise with your family? Even when you’re cruising in New Zealand waters, you won’t be covered for medical costs on board. Make sure you keep you and your family safe with our Cruise Pack. See the Policy Wording for full details.
Skiing is a popular family holiday, but snow sports can also be dangerous. If you’re hitting the slopes with the family, you can choose the Winter Sports Pack, which covers winter sports activities such as skiing and snowboarding. See the Policy Wording for full details.
Most of 1Cover’s policies protect you with up to $5000 in rental vehicle excess cover. But if you’re hiring a car to take the family around, you have the option of increasing this cover to $8,000.
Unless otherwise specified in the Policy Wording: 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.
“They’ve got no idea..it can save your life.”
Watch the emotional story of Isabella Eaton, a little girl who travelled to Bali with her parents Tabitha and James.
See how 1Cover were able to help when Isabella nearly died - and why James thinks buying travel insurance is the most important decision you'll make when you go on holiday with your children.
Dependants are your children or grandchildren not in full time employment, who are under the age of 19. 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 who requires a single adult policy you will need to contact our customer service centre to discuss your options.
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.
Yes, you can apply to extend your policy by either getting in contact with our friendly call centre team or alternatively you can log in to our Policy Manager.
We advise that you log in to the Policy Manager or contact us as soon as you know you need to extend your policy (ideally 7 days (NZST) before your policy is due to expire), so that we can make sure your extension is guaranteed. Once a policy lapses we are unable to extend it.
They need to be with you for 100% of the time to be classed as a dependant for the purposes of a Family policy.
