Why do you need Travel Insurance for New Zealand?

Travel Insurance for New Zealand will provide you with support and cover you experience a medical emergency while you’re away. It’ll also cover cancellation costs before you go. This type of insurance is essential for all travellers wishing to visit New Zealand.

It’s time that you travelled with the UK’s most trusted Travel Insurance provider1.

Comprehensive cover when travelling to New Zealand

If you love nature and wish to marvel at diverse landscapes and beautiful scenery, New Zealand could be the ideal destination for you. From hiking trails to waterfalls and great glacier lakes – New Zealand has it all.

While you can benefit from the reciprocal healthcare arrangement between the United Kingdom and New Zealand provided by the Accident Compensation Corporation, you should not rely on it solely. The scheme does not cover pre-existing medical conditions unless they worsen while you are there, nor does it cover repatriation. That is why comprehensive medical Travel Insurance is still essential.

Even small costs can add up; one trip to see a GP can cost NZ$80 in addition to the costs of medication and a service fee from a pharmacist. So, it’s best to be prepared.

As the UK’s No.1 for Travel Insurance2, AllClear has provided specialist medical Travel Insurance to New Zealand for over 20 years. Our policies include:  

How to choose the right level of cover for New Zealand

New Zealand is a long way away, and the last thing you need is to experience unexpected circumstances without necessary support in place. The key benefits below are worth including with the policy you choose:

Emergency medical expenses – even subsidised emergency medical treatment can be expensive. This benefit will help cover the costs should the worse happen while you’re away.

Repatriation to the UK – with some serious medical emergencies, you might need  to be medically transported to the nearest facility or back to the UK. This benefit will cover the costs.

Cancellation and Curtailment – cancellations can occur at short notice. It’s best to be prepared. Cancellation cover will help you with costs if you have to cancel or cut short your trip.

At AllClear, you can travel with confidence knowing that with our branded policies – you’ll be covered for:

  • Cancellation* and curtailment

I recently spoke to Marcia Fox…

“I recently spoke to Marcia Fox re some long-distance travel insurance to New Zealand this year; she was exceptionally professional, patient, and explained the insurance fully to me. She is a credit to the business, and to be honest with the company itself. It has been a pleasure booking my insurance via AllClear. I shall use them again for any future travel insurance I need.” – Mr Evans

Can I use my Medicare in New Zealand?

Travellers will be able to receive immediate treatment, if eligible, at a subsidised price. However, this can still be expensive. Travel Insurance is therefore essential if you wish to avoid any charges in the event of a medical emergency.

How much is Travel Insurance to New Zealand?

When buying Travel Insurance,  be aware of what factors may influence the price. Age; pre-existing medical conditions; duration of the trip, and the level of cover you prefer are all attributes that affect how much your policy may cost.
