How to compare travel insurance
What can travel insurance cover?~
We offer cover for unexpected events, so you can travel with peace of mind. We know each traveller and trip is different - that’s why we offer different policies and add ons so you can choose the type and level of cover you need - which may, or may not, include some of the scenarios below. As with any insurance policy, terms, conditions and exclusions apply so always make sure you read the Policy Document before buying your travel insurance policy to make sure it is right for you.
~ Please refer to the individual Policy Documents to see what your chosen policy covers.
We offer travel insurance that suits how you want to travel
We know how important it is to make sure you have the right type - and level - of cover, so we have different travel insurance policies to suit different types of travel, and the ability to personalise your cover to suit you with our optional add-ons. Whether you’re heading to Fiji for some R&R, London for an OE or Queenstown to hit the slopes, we’re with you.
