Travel Insurance is here to cover you in case of unforeseen and unexpected events, however, our policies do not cover everyone and everything.
When taking out travel insurance, it is important that you read the Policy Wording before buying the policy because you are responsible for ensuring that you are eligible for cover and that the insurance cover you select, is suitable for your needs.
With 1Cover, you must be a New Zealand resident. In terms of our policy, 'New Zealand Resident' means a person who is living in New Zealand and is either:
- a New Zealand Citizen or a permanent visa holder; or
- Someone who is on a visa or permit that allows access to all publicly funded health and disability services in New Zealand which is valid until after your end date of insurance.
Other Important Things to Know
- You must reside in New Zealand
- Your trip must start and end in New Zealand

- You must declare any pre-existing medical conditions
- Medical expenses incurred in New Zealand are not covered by our policies. It is therefore important that you ensure you have access to medical care in New Zealand.
