What does travel insurance cover?

Cancellation cover.

You never know when you might need to cancel a flight and when that happens, your chosen airline can charge you a hefty fee for doing so or will not return your deposit. Standard travel insurance policies often cover this cost so that you can cancel your flight right up to the day of the flight at no cost at all. This applies to flight delays too.

Luggage & belongings

With so many bags constantly being lugged around, there are bound to be a few bags here and there that end up in the wrong place and it’s often out of your control. If you have travel insurance in NZ, your insurer will cover the purchase of a few essentials, meaning you won’t have to bear the brunt of the loss of your GoPro, laptop, camera and whatever else you may have lost.

Medical treatment

When you compare travel insurance policies in NZ, you may notice that most policies offer medical and dental cover. This may be just something simple like drugs for a cold or allergy while you’re overseas, or it could be something a little more complicated like surgery. Some policies may even pay for someone to escort you back home if you’re feeling really unwell.

Car rental excess

If you’ve rented a car while you’re overseas and it gets stolen or damaged then your travel insurance policy may be able to help you out, by providing cover for the excess you’ll need to pay for when you make a claim.

Personal liability

In the event that you accidentally damage property or are liable for damage to a person, your travel insurance provider may provide cover to pay the costs including legal fees to defend your claim and legal costs if you’re wrongly arrested or detained. While we hope it would never come to this, it doesn’t hurt to have the assurance that you would be covered if you were liable for something. Even the cheapest travel insurance policies in NZ usually provides cover for this.

Travel Insurance FAQ

What does travel insurance usually cover.

Although it will depend on your chosen insurance provider and policy type, a typical travel insurance plan will have coverage for all of a travelers main concerns. Standard travel insurance will generally cover you for trip cancellations, travel delays, medical emergencies, lost luggage and personal liability.

Most travel insurance policies are designed to be comprehensive, to protect you from a variety of situations and events that may cause financial loss. However, there are optional extras that can be added onto your policy, such as dental, adventure activities and rental car cover.

Should I get travel insurance?

While travel and adventure is always encouraged, the reality is that even the most well planned trips can go amiss. Nobody wants to prepare for the worst, but it’s absolutely vital to do so - and that’s why you should get travel insurance. Investing in travel insurance cover allows you to safeguard your trip, providing you with peace of mind and letting you get on with your holiday.

When should you buy travel insurance?

It goes without saying, that the best time to buy travel insurance in NZ is before you embark on your travels. However, the time you get travel insurance before that matters too. Ideally, you should book travel insurance within 15 days of trip purchase so that you have enough time to cancel the insurance if need be, and you won’t have any external events affecting the premium.

How do I file a claim for travel insurance?

While this may differ between different travel insurance companies, to claim for travel insurance you generally need to fill out an online claims form which you can find on your travel insurer’s website. You’ll then need to send supporting documents to confirm that it’s you filing the claim, and your insurer will start working on it!

I was a little hesitant to stay on the call when I first picked up but I’m glad I stayed until I did. Josua Legavai was the lovely lady taking care of me. She was so friendly, clear and helpful. She helped me understand everything I needed to and explained everything with great detail. I am still young and learning and have just moved into a new home with my son so I’m grateful she was able to help me today.

I'm so happy I asked Glimp for help, to find a service provider that suits our family's budget, without losing quality and unlimited data on both our mobile phones and broadband. Mele Falahola is a Comparison Specialist from Glimp and she was amazing from the beginning. Mele located the right service provider for our needs that will save us money!, fulfil our usage and more! compared to what we were using. My wife and I even asked for a comparison on our electricity bill. Mele responded immediately once she saw our monthly bills and compared it to another provider that not only do not required a contract to stick too (like the mobile and broadband provider Mele recommended) but their price per kWh was so much better! Which is why we changed that also. Thank you Mele and Glimp for your help. We can now look forward to our Christmas holiday in the Cook Islands from what we can now save. :-)

New Zealand is known for its breathtaking landscapes, including glaciers, fjords, and the Southern Alps, as well as its unique Maori history. Visitors also come to experience the adventure activities, such as hiking, skiing, and rafting, and to see the unique wildlife like the Kiwi bird. Although travelling to New Zealand can be an accessible holiday destination for many people, out-the-pocket healthcare costs in the country tend to be expensive, so it's a very good idea to arrive there with travel insurance under your belt.

Luckily, online global insurances (known as 'insurtechs') specialize in cost-savvy travel insurance to New Zealand and other countries worldwide. Our list below explores the four services we believe provide the best deals for young travellers, adventurers, everyday holidaymakers looking for comprehensive but affordable coverage, and longer-term expats.

FAQ About Travel Insurance to New Zealand

Travel insurance typically covers trip cancellation, trip interruption, lost or stolen luggage, travel delay, and emergency evacuation. Some travel insurance packages also cover medical-related incidents too. However, remember that the exact coverage depends on the insurance policy.

No, you'll not be required to take out travel insurance for New Zealand. However, we strongly encourage you to do so anyway, because the cost of healthcare in New Zealand can be high, and taking out travel insurance will mitigate some or all of the risk of covering those costs yourself if you need medical attention during your stay.

Yes, medical travel insurance is almost always worth it, and we recommend taking out travel insurance whenever visiting a foreign country. Taking out travel insurance will mitigate some or all of the risk of covering those costs yourself in case you need medical attention during your stay. In general, we recommend VisitorsCoverage to travellers worldwide because it offers excellent value for money and well-rounded travel and medical benefits in its large catalogue of plans.

Health insurance doesn't cover normal holiday expenses, such as coverage for missed flights and hotels, but in case you run into medical trouble while abroad, it may cover some or all of your doctor or hospital expenses while overseas. However, not all health insurance providers and plans offer coverage to customers while abroad, and that's why it's generally best to take out travel insurance whenever you travel.

Although there's overlap, health and travel insurance are not exactly the same. Health insurance covers some or all of the cost of medical expenses (e.g. emergency treatment, doctor's visits, etc.) while travel insurance covers non-medical costs that are commonly associated with travelling (e.g. coverage for missed flights, stolen or lost personal belongings, etc.).

The cost of travel insurance depends on several factors, such as the length of the trip, the destination, the age of the traveller, and the level of coverage desired. On average, travel insurance can cost anywhere between 3% and 10% of the total cost of the trip.

A single-trip travel insurance policy covers a specific trip, while an annual one covers multiple trips taken within a one-year period. An annual policy may be more cost-effective for frequent travellers.

Yes, you can sometimes purchase travel insurance after starting your trip, but it is best to buy it before the trip begins to ensure maximum coverage. If you do need to buy insurance after you've started your trip, we recommend VisitorsCoverage , which offers a wide catalogue of online trip and medical insurance policies, most of which can be booked with immediate effect. Check out our guide to buying travel insurance late to learn more.

Yes, you can most certainly purchase travel insurance for a trip that has already been booked, although we recommend purchasing insurance as soon as possible aftwerwards to ensure all coverage is in place before your journey begins.

Canstar’s Best Value Travel Insurance NZ

Posted by Bruce Pitchers November 21, 2023

Holidays promise carefree relaxation away from work pressures and domestic chores. However, plenty of unforeseen events can ruin the best-laid vacation plans, from illness and accidents to the loss or theft of possessions.

If the worst does happen, a dream holiday can turn into a financial nightmare, especially if you’re left facing bills for medical treatments overseas or for life-saving repatriation. This is why ensuring you have adequate insurance cover before you jet off or sail away on your overseas adventure is a travel essential.

But trying to find the best insurance cover can be complicated. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, as policy details and costs vary, depending on your age and choice of destination. And comparing different levels of cover and costs can be complicated.

But that’s where Canstar can help. As part of our mission to inform Kiwi consumers about the best financial products in the market, each year we analyse a wide range of travel insurance products and award the best providers our prestigious awards and Star Ratings for Outstanding Value Travel Insurance.

What are Canstar’s Travel Insurance Awards & Star Ratings?

Canstar’s Travel Insurance ratings score travel insurance providers and their products, and awards the best our prestigious 5-Star Ratings. Each insurance product is assessed and scored for its price and array of features.

For this year’s Travel Insurance Star Ratings, our expert research panel compared 44 travel insurance products from 18 providers across a range of different age profiles, including seniors. To be eligible for our ratings, each product had to meet certain basic requirements, including cover for:

  • $1 million overseas medical and hospital cover per international traveller
  • Repatriation and evacuation services
  • Luggage and personal effects
  • Cancellation fees and loss of deposit

For ease of comparison, the different insurance products are judged across six geographical regions and two cruise types:

  • Africa & Middle East
  • Tras-Tasman
  • Domestic Cruise
  • Pacific Cruise

Canstar’s Travel Insurance Awards

On the back of our Star Ratings research, we also award the best travel insurance providers and products our prestigious awards for Outstanding Value.

To be eligible for an Outstanding Value Award, insurance providers have to meet extra policy requirements. These include:

  • 24-hour emergency helpline
  • Period of cover automatically extends if a medical claim requires traveller to remain overseas for treatment
  • $5 million or more family overseas medical and hospital cover
  • $5 million or more family cover for repatriation and evacuation services
  • Included cover claims arising from cruising holidays in domestic and international waters (cruise only)
  • Availability to travellers aged over 70 (senior only)
  • Covers cancellation and medical claims arising from COVID-19 related events (domestic cruise only)

Outstanding Value: Seniors Travel Insurance

travel insurance direct new zealand

This is the second year in a row that AMP has earned an Outstanding Value | Seniors Travel Insurance Award . Our awards panel notes that AMP has achieved its back-to-back awards due to its consistently strong performance across all overseas regions, which is due to its competitive premiums for older travellers and above-average feature scores.

House of Travel once again earns three Outstanding Value Awards, in our International , South Pacific Cruise and  Trans-Tasman travel insurance profiles. The insurer’s performance continues to be driven by its competitive pricings, as well as its high levels of cover.

This year, Southern Cross wins two Outstanding Value Awards,  in our International   and  Seniors   profiles. Our research panel notes that Southern Cross Travel Insurance performs particularly well in senior profiles due to its competitive premiums for older travellers. However, premium increases across the brand’s cruise insurances did see them miss out on our South Pacific Cruise Award this year.

Tower Car Insurance

A newcomer to Canstar’s Travel Insurance Awards, Tower joins our Outstanding Value Awards recipients in the International , South Pacific Cruise and Trans-Tasman profiles this year due to its increased price performance and comprehensive policy offerings.

travel insurance direct new zealand

For the second consecutive year, Worldcare is the only travel insurance provider to earn an Outstanding Value Award across all award profiles.

This is due to Worldcare’s consistently competitive prices and strong range of policy features across all regions and age profiles.

In awarding Worldcare, our research panel noted the insurance brand’s exceptionally strong price performance and levels of cover in both the Trans-Tasman and South Pacific Cruise profiles.

Worldcare Travel Insurance plans provide specified levels of cover from cancellation to extended benefits like travel disruption, medical, life, baggage, personal effects, money and personal liability. Whether you’re travelling locally or abroad, all Worldcare plans include 24-Hour Emergency Assistance.

Selected cover for epidemic and pandemic diseases (Covid-19)

Worldcare policies include selected cover for epidemic and pandemic diseases such as Covid-19. There is a provision to claim for cancellation and medical expenses should you contract an epidemic or pandemic disease such as Covid-19 after purchasing your policy. Cover for medical claims directly related to an epidemic or pandemic such as Covid-19 will only apply if you contract the disease after you commence your journey. There is no cover for lockdowns, changes in government alert levels, quarantine or mandatory isolation applying to a population or part of a population. As with any travel insurance, disinclination to travel due to fear or change of mind is not covered.

Cover for Pre-existing Medical Conditions

The GoComprehensive, GoFreedom and GoLocal Comprehensive plans provide automatic cover for a variety of specified Pre-existing Medical Conditions. If your Pre-existing Medical Condition is not automatically covered under these plans, you can apply for cover. If cover is confirmed and you want to proceed with your purchase, an additional premium will apply. Please note that no cover for Pre-existing Medical Conditions is available under the GoBudget and GoLocal Cancellation Only plans.

Selecting your Travel Insurance Plan

Check which Worldcare plan best suits your travel needs . Compare benefit levels, then review the Policy Wording and request a quote online. Your quote will provide excess options and a price for our GoComprehensive, GoBudget and GoLocal Comprehensive plans. Select the excess level and plan that best suits your travel plans and the level of cover that you require for your trip. An excess will apply to each separate event giving rise to a claim unless you pay a higher premium for a No Excess policy.

The GoComprehensive plan provides the highest level of cover whereas the GoBudget plan provides lower benefit levels. If you travel more frequently, the Worldcare GoFreedom plan provides the same benefit levels as our GoComprehensive plan, but has been created for customers that take multiple journeys over the course of a year. The GoComprehensive and GoBudget plans can be purchased online. The GoFreedom plan can only be purchased over the phone with one of the Customer Care team.

Travelling around New Zealand? GoLocal provides cover for domestic travel around our backyard with two plan options. GoLocal Comprehensive provides higher benefits levels and the option to add on a Cruise pack if you’re taking a cruise. Meanwhile, GoLocal Cancellation Only has been designed for those who only want cover for cancellation costs, should you be forced to cancel your trip before you go.

Whichever plan you choose, you will have access to 24-Hour Emergency Assistance while you travel.

It doesn’t matter if you are travelling to Auckland or Amsterdam, if your child becomes unwell and you need to cancel your trip, it’s good to know you’re covered.

Specific terms, conditions and exclusions apply to Covid-19. See our State Travel Policy Wording for full details.

  • Asthma, seizure, stroke, heart attack
  • Swimmer's ear/ear infection.

Your cancellation costs prior to travel

  • Prepaid deposits on motorhome rentals, scenic train, or ferry tickets
  • Prepaid fares for rail trips, adventure holidays and cruises
  • Costs for cancellation due to redundancy, illness, injury, and medical operations.

Cancellation prior to departure will result in the loss of deposits paid and in other instances full cancellation fees often apply.

Delayed travel

  • Travel delays due to weather e.g. snowstorms and fog delaying connecting flights.

Luggage claims

  • Broken cameras, smartphones and electronic items
  • Lost spectacles, hearing aids and damaged dentures.

What Domestic options are available?

We offer 3 Domestic plan options to choose from and these can be purchased quickly and easily on our website.

Domestic plan (Single Trip Policy or Annual Multi-Trip Policy)

Our Domestic plan (Single Trip Policy and Annual Multi-Trip Policy) is our most comprehensive domestic plan.

The Domestic plan Annual Multi-Trip Policy is sometimes a more suitable option for those travellers who are planning to travel more than twice this year and for no longer than 30 days at a time within New Zealand.

Domestic Cancellation plan Single Trip Policy

Our Domestic Cancellation plan covers domestic travellers for cancellation cover only and you choose the cancellation cover limit to best meet your needs when you purchase your policy.

What activities are covered?

There are plenty of fun activities to do around New Zealand year-round, and we have a comprehensive list of activities which are covered under our Domestic plans (excludes Domestic Cancellation Plan).

Our plans automatically include:

  • Bungy Jumping
  • Horse Riding
  • Jet Boating
  • Paragliding
  • Parasailing
  • Snorkelling
  • White Water Rafting

Other activities may be covered as an add-on to your Domestic plan (excludes Domestic Cancellation plan). See our State Travel Policy for full details.

What cover is available for Skiing and Snowboarding?

Because being on the snow and participating in winter sports activities often increases the risk of injuries or incidents, you'll need to ensure you amend your Domestic plan (excludes Domestic Cancellation plan) to include snow activities like skiing and snowboarding by purchasing a winter cover (snow sports) upgrade. This can help protect you against unforeseen costs should you have a mishap on the slopes and need medical assistance. Sporting and ski equipment are not covered whilst in use and if you are a New Zealand citizen, ACC may cover some costs due to injury caused by an accident.

You will only be covered if you have purchased the Domestic Plan with the winter cover (snow sports) upgrade and:

  • You are skiing, snowboarding or snowmobiling on-piste, or cross-country skiing;
  • You are not participating in a Professional capacity; and
  • You are not racing.

Note: sporting and ski equipment are not covered whilst in use.

What if I travel frequently in NZ, do you have a multi-trip option?

Multi-trip travel insurance may save you time and money. If you are planning to travel more than twice this year and for no longer than 30 days at a time within New Zealand, consider our Domestic Plan Annual Multi-Trip Policy.

Can you explain the rental vehicle insurance excess?

This benefit applies to our Domestic Plan (excludes Domestic Cancellation Plan) and covers the rental vehicle excess if your rental vehicle is stolen, or damaged while you are driving. You will still need to take out rental vehicle insurance.

A $4,000 rental vehicle excess cover can save you money if you need to make a claim.

Note: that your rental agreement may still require you to take out rental vehicle insurance.

If you are driving your personal vehicle on your domestic holiday there is bonus cover of $2,500 for your comprehensive vehicle insurance excess.

What does the medical cover provide for?

Our Domestic Plan D *(excludes Domestic Cancellation Plan) can provide you with cover for unexpected medical and dental expenses up to $1,500. This is for treatment provided in New Zealand.

It only applies up to 12 months from when you suffered a disabling injury, sickness, or disease. Travel insurance protects you from unforeseen events. Routine medical or dental treatments, prenatal visits and continuation of treatments are not covered.

What existing medical conditions are covered?

We automatically cover a range of existing medical conditions (EMC) under the Domestic plan (excludes Domestic Cancellation Plan). Automatically covered conditions include - asthma, epilepsy, gastric reflux and more! Read the State Travel Policy Wording for a full list of the conditions we automatically cover. If your existing medical conditions are not all automatically covered, you may complete an online medical assessment to determine if cover is available. Other travel insurance benefits unrelated to your EMC still apply, even if cover cannot be provided for your specific condition/s.

*Medical cover will not exceed 12 months from onset. Medical and dental expenses cover is limited to $1,500 for treatment provided in New Zealand. This $1,500 sub-limit does not apply to International or Inbound Plans.

Travel insurance FAQs

Travel insurance is a specific type of insurance that helps cover a number of costs and disruptions associated with travelling both domestically and overseas. Levels of cover differ per policy, however, travel insurance typically protects against trip cancellation, delays, lost luggage and personal belongings, medical expenses and repatriation, and personal liability.

Most travel insurance providers offer single or multi-trip policies, which can cover multiple countries within a specific timeframe. The destination, length of trip, specific activity add-ons and pre-existing medical conditions all help determine the cost of a travel insurance policy. Policies can be purchased at the time of booking a trip up until the time a traveller leaves their home.

Travel insurance varies for individual travellers based on the options selected by them, so prices vary from person-to-person. The cost of a travel insurance policy is determined by:

  • Age of traveller/s: the older the traveller, the higher the policy cost may be.
  • Number of travellers included in the policy: a higher number of travellers creates more variables, therefore increasing risk.
  • Length of trip/s: a single trip policy is generally around half the amount of a multi-trip policy, making the latter more cost-effective for frequent travellers, while shorter trips often pose less risk of medical incidents and travel interruptions, resulting in lower costs.
  • Destination/s: costs vary greatly depending on the countries and regions covered by a policy. For example, regions such as Europe will often be cheaper than trips to the USA because of the high cost of medical treatment in America.
  • Level of coverage: travellers can opt for cheaper travel insurance as well as comprehensive, more expensive plans to cater to their different needs.
  • Existing medical conditions: a customer’s policy will increase if their medical history shows an increased risk of possible medical treatment requirements while travelling.

While a cheaper policy cost upfront may seem appealing, always read the Policy Wording to ensure your needs are adequately covered should an incident occur.

Travel insurance protects you when travelling domestically or internationally by providing coverage against unforeseen circumstances that may negatively impact your travel plans.

By purchasing travel insurance prior to departure, your policy can help cover the costs of trip cancellations should you no longer be able to travel, as well as the costs of medical treatment, lost passports and personal items while you’re travelling. The customer usually pays for these costs upfront, before being reimbursed by the travel insurer upon claim approval.

To approve a claim, travel insurers require documentation such as a police report or medical bill to confirm the incident occurred.

Always read the Policy Wording before purchasing a travel insurance policy to ensure it provides adequate coverage for your circumstances.

Unfortunately, travel insurance can’t cover absolutely everything. This highlights the importance for travellers to read the Policy Wording before purchasing to avoid becoming frustrated when claims are unsuccessful. It will contain details on the situations you likely won’t be covered in, including:

  • Cancellation: simply changing your mind prior to your trip may not be sufficient for a successful claim.
  • Pre-existing conditions: if medical conditions aren’t disclosed or covered by the policy at time of purchase, exclusions may apply to coverage related to those conditions. 
  • Theft or loss of belongings while left unattended: travellers must take care of their belongings as they would as home.
  • Incidents occurring as a result of reckless behaviour: claims arising from excessive drinking or taking recreational drugs will likely be rejected.
  • Winter and adventure sports: claims resulting from participation in high-risk sports will be void unless covered by the policy.
  • Terrorism and extreme weather events: travelling to specific regions against the advice of the government or your insurer may result in unsuccessful claims because the events are no longer unforeseeable circumstances.

For full details of exclusions within a travel insurance plan, consult the Policy Wording.

Purchasing a policy soon after a trip is booked has a number of benefits and increases a traveller’s protection.

When purchased ahead of time, a traveller can cancel their travel insurance policy for a full refund within the cooling-off period. If the policy is purchased before the customer leaves their home to depart for their trip, claims for rearrangements and cancellations caused by unforeseen circumstances can also be made.

By considering travel insurance as an essential part of booking a holiday - not an afterthought when at the airport - travellers are likely to be covered should an incident arise before take-off.

See all travel insurance FAQs .

*Medical cover will not exceed 12 months from onset. Medical and dental expenses cover is limited to $1,500 for treatment provided in New Zealand. This $1,500 sub-limit does not apply to the Inbound medical section. Emergency dental expenses are limited to $1,500. ~Cooling-off period is available if you wish to cancel your policy within 21 calendar days of the date of purchase and you have not made a claim under the policy or departed on your journey.

New Zealand travel insurance: Here’s what you need to know

travel insurance direct new zealand

If you’re just about to jet off to New Zealand, we’ll openly admit to feeling envious. It’s a lush, exciting, friendly place with great food and plenty of things to do. From taking a ride in an aerobatic plane to swimming with dolphins, sharing the beach with penguins (we’re not joking - Google it) and trying the local ‘fush ‘n’ chips’, you’re spoiled for choice. There’s something for everyone.

New Zealand’s especially great for thrillseekers. Whether you’d like to try a bungee jump, explore a cave or go white water rafting, it’s all waiting for you. Imagine the thrill of negotiating New Zealand’s white water rapids; the spray in your face, the speed, the excitement!

But before you step into your dinghy to begin your adventure, wouldn’t it be great to know you’re protected? Columbus Direct’s travel insurance covers white water rafting, as well as up to 150 sports and activities as standard. This means that you’re free to let your imagination go wild – the sky’s the limit.

It’s a great country, and you’ll want to explore every inch with confidence. Maybe you’re unsure of why you need travel insurance, and what it covers? Here’s your chance to find out how you can protect your health and your wealth Down Under.

Zorbing on holiday

Get a little luxury at the airport

You arrive at the airport with all your bags, raring to go – but what’s this? Your flight’s delayed. Wouldn’t it be nice to have somewhere quiet to wait for your flight, away from the crowds?

We’ve got some good news for you. All Columbus Direct customers and up to four of their friends are entitled to FREE lounge access* if their flight’s delayed.

All of you will have somewhere peaceful to relax and charge your phone, along with free WiFi. And why not enjoy a quick bite while you wait for your flight?

Be supported if your bags go AWOL

You saunter into the baggage claim area, ready to collect your suitcase and head out. You wait, and you wait. It looks like your bag is either hiding on the conveyor belt, or it wasn’t on the flight. If you book with us, you can keep your cool.

While the airport will be working hard to find your bag, we’ll be on hand to provide up to £2,500 compensation. You’re free to start your trip, pick up some essentials and make the most of your time away.

Your gadgets are your world

Payphones and internet cafes are so 2003. Your smartphone, laptop and tablet will quickly turn into your daily staples. Go on, admit it - you’ll want to Skype your family, and upload all of your new pics to Instagram. Plus, what about adding new friends on Facebook and Googling the best places to go? Your only issue will be finding free WiFi - and making sure you’re fully charged before any long flights!

As your gadgets are your only link to home Down Under, they’re even more precious. Just add gadget cover to your policy and all your tech will be taken care of.

Tweet on, Skype away and keep those updates coming.

Woman using phone on beach

You can feel confident enjoying world-class winter sports

The ski season in New Zealand opens in June and runs through until the end of September - and it’s occasionally been known to carry on until October. You’re also spoiled for choice - if you’re staying on the North Island, your best bets for excellent powder are Whakapapa and Turoa.

If you’re planning on hitting the pistes on the South Island, Queenstown, Wanaka and Christchurch are firm favourites. The slopes range from beginner to expert, and the vibe is friendly and inclusive. You’re guaranteed to make some new friends to carve up the pistes with.

If you haven’t been on the snow for a while, you may find you take a day to warm up. After all, we’ve all come down to earth with a bump once! Book with us, and you’ll be entitled to quality medical treatment. We also provide piste closure compensation; handy if the snow doesn’t show.

If you’re more of an off piste skier, you’re in good hands. Just add search and rescue cover to your policy when you book with us. It’s extra peace of mind if you need to get help in a remote location.

Snowboarding on holiday

Your pre-existing conditions need to be accommodated

If you have a pre-existing condition, we can cover these on a case by case basis. We insure hundreds of medical conditions, many of which are available at no extra cost**. This means that you can run around zorbing, eyeing up the penguins and generally having a great time, knowing we’re here if you need us.

Should you need treatment while you’re abroad, here’s what our pre-existing protection will include:

  • Medical expenses up to £15m
  • We’ll fly you home if you miss your flight or need extra room on the plane
  • You can claim back your hotel and transport costs if you cancel your trip due to health issues
  • We have a 24 hour emergency medical assistance helpline to give you advice and support

Getting home should always be easy

A few days before you leave, you switch on the TV and discover that your airline’s gone under. How are you going to get home? Can anyone step in to help you?

It’s unlikely to happen, but if your airline stops operating, we’ll be on hand to help you get home.

You’re in safe hands with Columbus Direct. We can help to provide compensation to make sure you get home; it’s included as standard in all our policies.

Who said great customer service and value for money can’t go together?

Since 1988, we’ve insured millions of travellers. Over 15 million, to be precise! They’ve given us a five-star rating on Trustpilot – here are two comments we’ve recently received...

Martin Greaves : "Easy to sign up for on the web and price is competitive. What I really like about Columbus Direct is they give you the option to cover or exclude your current medical conditions. I don't want to pay extra for a managed condition that is under total control. Sensible cover at a sensible price."

Huw Davies : "I wanted straightforward single trip ski insurance, with my principal concern being the medical cover to get me off the mountain and home if it all goes badly on a black. Having the ability to choose different levels of cover was just what I needed to give me simple and cheap cover."

Learn five fascinating facts about New Zealand

Now that you’re familiar with New Zealand, why not learn some trivia? We’ve compiled a list of five little-known facts you should know before you go.

There are no land snakes in New Zealand. Which makes it a great destination if you suffer from ophiophobia – a fear of snakes.

TripAdvisor named Milford Sound the world’s top travel destination in 2008. Milford Sound is a fiord on the South Island, and is known for its natural beauty. Rudyard Kipling called it the ‘Eighth Wonder of the World’ – it’s a must-see.

New Zealanders aren’t scared to try new things. The world’s first commercial bungee jump happened in Queenstown in 1988.

Travel Insurance  Frequently Asked Questions

Does travel insurance cover coronavirus(covid-19).

It depends! Unfortunately, the answer isn't a straightforward one. There are some situations where cover is available, and others where it is an exclusion. It largely depends on which insurer you bought your policy with ; when you bought it; where you're travelling to; when you're travelling; and, the reason for your claim. One thing that is for certain - you're unlikely to be covered for claims relating to the coronavirus for future travel if you haven't yet purchased a travel insurance policy as this is a known event.

Which is the best travel insurance in New Zealand?

The best travel insurance for you depends entirely on your planned trip and your circumstances. If you're a backpacker on a tight budget, you might want a no-frills medical-only policy. Whereas, if you're heading on a once in a lifetime cruise, have outlaid a lot of money in upfront deposits or if you have health conditions, a comprehensive policy might be best for you. While there's no single best travel insurance that's right for everyone, finding a policy that works for you is easy when you use our quote comparison to start comparing prices and features. With Compare Travel Insurance, you can also read up on travel insurance reviews from customers to learn about their customer service and importantly, claims experience.

Is it too late to buy cover?

It's better late than never. We recommend buying a policy as soon as you've booked and started paying deposits for flights, accommodation and tours, but you can buy travel insurance at any point. Even if you forgot and are already overseas . Exclusions may apply though, so be sure to check the PDS and eligibility criteria before you buy.

Can I get cover for my medical conditions?

Cover is available for most medical conditions. Whether or not you need to declare your conditions and whether an additional charge will apply depends on the condition, its stability, current treatment, the recency of the diagnosis and your age. Minor conditions such as allergies, cataracts, and certain diabetes are often covered free of charge. However other medical conditions such as arthritis, any kind of cancer, heart conditions and hip & knee replacements require medical screenings and additional charges are likelt to apply. Today, most insurers use online medical screening software which makes it easy to declare your conditions and get covered in minutes. Although finding cover for terminal illnesses in New Zealand is difficult. Learn more about covering your conditions with our guide on declaring your medical conditions .

Can I purchase travel insurance at the airport?

Yes, you can. Generally speaking, you can purchase travel insurance up to a year before your trip, right up to boarding at the airport. With comprehensive travel insurance, you are covered for cancellation benefits from the moment you buy your policy, so we recommend buying it as soon as you start paying for flights, tours and accommodation.

Can I get travel insurance if I'm already overseas?

You can buy cover if you are already overseas, although each travel insurer has different rules on age limits and waiting periods. Check out our already overseas travel insurance guide to learn more.

Does travel insurance cover pregnancy?

You can buy travel insurance to cover you when you're pregnant, but different brands will have different rules around how many weeks gestation they will provide cover up until. Terms may also vary on whether you've had complications, have a multiple pregnancy, conceived via IVF and whether you're looking for cover in case of emergency birth. Check out the handy table in our pregnancy guide for more information.

Do I need cover in New Zealand?

Unexpected events can happen anywhere. It is just as important to have domestic cover when travelling around New Zealand as it is when travelling overseas. If you're a New Zealand resident, a domestic policy covers you for cancellations, luggage cover and often rental vehicle excess. Medical coverage is not included, but you'll be eligible for publicly funded health care services. For non-residents visiting New Zealand, discover International visitors to New Zealand are currently not required to have travel insurance by law, but it is highly recommended to protect you from eye-watering medical bills and more.

Which is the cheapest policy?

The cost of travel insurance depends on a range of factors including your destination, duration of travel, age of travellers, planned activities, whether or not you have any medical conditions and the type of cover you choose (medical only, mid-range or comprehensive). The cheapest travel insurance is generally to less risky parts of the world - places with cheaper healthcare and less risk of injury, illness or theft - and policies which offer less coverage - so ones without benefits for adventure activities or pre-existing conditions. To get cheap travel insurance from New Zealand for your upcoming trip, create a quote and compare prices, but remember that the cheapest isn't always the best. You should consider your trip and what you require cover for.

Why should I buy travel insurance direct online?

Comparing prices and features online makes it easier to find the policy that's right for you and your circumstances. With comparetravelinsurance.co.nz , the price you see is the same price direct from the insurer. Sometimes you're not after the best policy but rather the best bang for your buck and comparing prices and features online can save you time, worry and loads of money.

The rapid spread of covid-19 around the globe has thrown the international travel industry into chaos.  Find out what's covered if you're travelling during the coronavirus outbreak.

Why Buy Travel Insurance?

We’re not silly, we know that plenty of New Zealanders go on holiday and have an amazing time exploring new and exciting places without buying travel insurance. But taking a gamble on your much needed break can be risky. Here’s why!

Exxy Medical Costs

If you buy a policy for just one reason this is it! Falling ill or being injured while travelling overseas can be extremely costly. Hospital costs in the USA can reach up to $10,000 per day, while emergency transport home for treatment can easily exceed $100,000! Ouch!

Disasters Can Strike

The excitement of getting on that plane has you knotted up like a pretzel. Picture your dismay if you had to cancel last minute. Worse still, imagine you’re mid-martini when bad news breaks. Should you need to return home, you’ll be covered for unforeseen events like injury or illness of a close relative.

Your stuff is important

Loss, theft or damage to your prized possessions can be a common, yet gut-wrenching experience. If your personal belongings go AWOL while you’re away the right policy will pay to replace or repair them. Win!

For your peace of mind

Travel insurance will take a load off so you can get some R&R. A comprehensive policy will cover you for an array of sticky situations while you're travelling within New Zealand, or overseas.

Because You Have To

Still not convinced? We hate to be the fun police, but some countries simply won’t let you in without cover! For example, it is mandatory to take out travel insurance when travelling to Thailand or Cuba.

Air New Zealand's Electric Flight Initiative Prepares for Takeoff

--News Direct--

Source: Pexels

Air New Zealand just announced bold plans to introduce all-electric cargo flights by 2026, marking a significant leap toward sustainability in the aviation industry. 1

With a length exceeding 39 feet and weighing three tonnes, the The Beta ALIA electric cargo aircraft can reach speeds of up to 168 miles per hour. Extensive test flights have demonstrated its capabilities, covering nearly 300 miles on a single charge, with a charging time of 40 to 60 minutes, highlighting the practical feasibility of electric aviation for commercial operations.

Initially focusing on cargo transportation, the aircraft will collaborate with New Zealand Post to shuttle mail between the two airports, showcasing the practical utility of electric aviation in essential services.

In December 2023, Air New Zealand's CEO Greg Foran emphasized the pivotal role of sustainable aviation fuels in reducing the airline's carbon footprint. He highlighted the potential of next-generation aircraft to significantly cut emissions, particularly in regional operations.

The Beta ALIA aircraft represents a vital advancement in emission reduction efforts. Data from 2023 revealed that aviation contributed 12% of New Zealand's carbon emissions, a stark contrast to the global average of 2.8%. 2

Kiri Hannifin, Air New Zealand's chief sustainability officer, said that nearly all airports across the country had shown keen interest in securing routes, underscoring the widespread enthusiasm for sustainable air travel.

Air New Zealand isn’t the only company looking to launch all-electric aircraft in the near future. Surf Air Mobility Inc. (NYSE:SRFM) is a Los-Angeles-based regional air mobility platform transforming regional flying through electrification.

Surf Air Mobility isn’t just an EV aircraft startup. Its subsidiary Southern Airways is already the largest commuter airline in the US based on scheduled departures, flying more than 450,000 passengers on ~75,000 flights to 48 destinations in the US in 2022.

Now, the company has partnered with commercial leaders to develop revolutionary new technology to upgrade the widely popular Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft with fully electric and hybrid-electric engines for passenger air travel, once certified.

With expertise spanning aviation, electrification, and consumer technology, Surf Air Mobility is well-positioned to drive forward the electrification of air travel, ushering in a new era of sustainable aviation.

Surf Air Mobility Forges Ahead in Electrifying Regional Air Travel: Partnerships, Milestones, and Financial Outlook

Surf Air Mobility Inc. (NYSE:SRFM) just announced its fourth quarter and full year 2023 results , showcasing growth and development in its regional air mobility platform. The company exceeded guidance, with a GAAP revenue of $60.5 million and pro forma revenue of $112.9 million for the full year, marking a 12% year-over-year increase.

In Q4 2023, Surf Air Mobility solidified key partnerships and agreements, signaling its dedication to innovation and expansion. The company deepened its collaboration with Palantir to develop advanced software solutions, including continuing work on an AI-enhanced 'crew scheduling' application. Additionally, Surf Air Mobility continues to advance its initiative to electrify the Cessna Caravan, and is in the final stage of vendor selections for key components, including battery and electric motor suppliers.

Surf Air Mobility extended its global footprint by collaborating with Brazil's Azul, the largest airline in the country, to work toward introducing electric Cessna Caravans into Azul's existing fleet. The company also delved into the burgeoning seaglider market through a partnership with REGENT, a leading manufacturer of all-electric seagliders. With plans to establish a base in Miami, Surf Air Mobility could offer passenger transport services for South Florida, including routes connecting Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, and the Caribbean Islands.

In March 2024, Surf Air Mobility signed a memorandum of understanding with Auric Air Services Ltd., a Tanzania-based regional air operator serving East Africa. The agreement aims to upgrade up to 12 of Auric Air's Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft with Surf Air 's proprietary electrified powertrain technology upon certification. The company now has MOUs for approximately 13% of the Cessna Caravan market in Africa for potential upgrades to its electrified powertrains, once certified.

This agreement follows Surf Air 's recent announcements of similar electrified powertrain MOUs with other major Cessna Caravan air operators in East Africa, such as Safarilink, Yellow Wings, and Z.Boskovic, as well as Azul Connecta in Brazil.

Looking ahead, Surf Air Mobility Inc. (NYSE:SRFM) anticipates first-quarter 2024 revenue in the range of $28.5 million to $29.5 million.

With efforts to balance growth with profitability, Surf Air Mobility is poised to lead the future of regional air mobility with its innovative approach and dedication to environmental stewardship.
