These are just a few of the things our policy covers. For the ins and the outs, take a look at our policy wording.
Get QuoteAlthough free healthcare for travellers isn’t available in New Zealand, there is a reciprocal health agreement with the UK. This means that if a medical practitioner believes you need treatment, you'll get it at a reduced cost when a valid UK passport is shown.
But the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) recommends that visitors still buy medical travel insurance to cover the cost of any treatment abroad.
You should also bear in mind that some areas of New Zealand have limited medical facilities, including the Cook Islands and the Niue and Tokelau islands. If medical treatment is required, transport to the mainland may be required, which without proper travel insurance, could be a strain on your life savings.
When it comes to travel insurance, we class New Zealand under our Worldwide cover.
When looking for an annual policy, pick our ‘Region 3’ cover (Worldwide excluding Bermuda, Canada, the islands of the Caribbean, China, Hong Kong, Mexico, Thailand, and the United States of America) to include New Zealand in your travel plans.
It’s best that you wait until you have had your results before getting your quote from us, because any changes to your medical circumstances can influence pricing and our ability to cover you.
We want to make sure that your cover is tailored to your medical and travel needs.
When you’re off to New Zealand, you’ll want to enjoy your holiday comfortably, confident that you’re well covered by your medical travel insurance if you have a medical emergency.
You can declare your medical condition through our online medical screening process, which is a straightforward set of questions for us to understand how your medical conditions affect you. Or, if you prefer, you can complete the medical screening over the phone.
It’s important that all pre-existing conditions are declared on your policy. This will avoid large medical bills if you need treatment in another country. Failure to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions may affect the validity of your policy should you need to claim.
To be covered, you need to have received all doses of the COVID vaccine that you’ve been offered, including any booster jabs.
You can also be covered if you can’t have the vaccine due to a medical exemption.
If you have refused any doses of the COVID vaccine or any booster jab, then you won’t be covered for COVID related claims.
If you need to make a claim, we'll make it as easy and stress-free as possible.
