Why are Comprehensive travel insurance inbound policies cheaper than those in your country?
Because medical and legal costs are cheaper in New Zealand than in many other countries, these inbound policies do not need to subsidise the higher costs of insurance cover in those countries.
Specified items - Comprehensive cover only
You can choose to extend your policy to cover your expensive items such as jewellery, watches, cameras etc. A video camera up to NZ$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 2% of the total value of the item(s) will be charged (maximum NZ$20,000 total limit).

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.
