More Information/FAQs
Why Are Comprehensive's Travel Insurance Inbound Policies Cheaper than those in your country?
Because medical and legal costs are cheaper in New Zealand and
Australia than in many other countries, these inbound policies do not
need to subsidise the higher costs of insurance cover in those
countries. Specified Items
You can choose to extend your policy to cover your expensive items such
as jewellery, watches, cameras etc. A video camera up to $2,500 is
automatically covered and does not need to be specified. For specified
items, we will require a copy of your purchase receipt or a valuation
certificate dated prior to the start of your policy. An additional
premium of 1.5% of the total value of the item(s) will be charged
(maximim $20,000).
Rental Car Excess Cover
If you hire a vehicle whilst overseas you have the option to increase
the rental vehicle excess from $1,000 to $4,000 for an additional
premium of $10.00 per rental car hire day.
Further Insurance
Should you require further insurance whilst still overseas, please
apply by contacting either your agent or Comprehensive Travel Insurance
before your original policy expires. Conditions may apply.
