Annual Travel Insurance - New Zealand
Annual Travel Insurance refers to the type of insurance policy that provides cover for a period of 12 months. It is a favourite of Kiwi backpackers and travellers heading overseas on a working holiday or BIG OE or on a backpacking adventure as this policy type provides cover for the entire time they are away. A 12 month insurance policy means you don't have to concern yourself with sorting travel insurance before each holiday or trip you take within that year long period, and it is more often than not much better value for you to take out an annual travel insurance policy if you plan on being away for an extended period of time.

Annual Travel Insurance for Working Holidays and Big OE Trips
This type of policy is ideal for anyone who plans on embarking on a yearly backpacking adventure or a working holiday to the UK, Australia, Canada or anywhere else worldwide, departing from New Zealand. Downunder Travel Insurance specialises in Working Annual Travel Insurance Holiday Insurance and there are few, if any, New Zealand based insurers that offer working holiday insurance to New Zealand residents.
You can also rest assured you will be taken care of if something goes wrong as you have purchased from one of New Zealand's leading travel insurers.
For those of you planning a working holiday overseas, it usually means a fair bit of time at work and quite a bit of time travelling, so save yourself the hassle of taking out a policy every time you travel and get yourself completely covered before you go.
Some Advantages of the Annual Travel Insurance Policy
A major benefit of this policy type is that we offer an 'Overseas Extension' to all New Zealand policy holders. What this means is, if your policy happens to expire or is about to run out while you are overseas, we are able to extend your policy even if it has already expired (you must renew within 2 weeks of your original policy expiring, and you aren't covered in between your old policy ending and your new policy commencing). Keep this in mind if your travelling takes an unexpected turn and you end up staying overseas for longer than you expected. To renew your policy, you can only do so by calling our NZ office on (+64) (9) 376 8292
Another advantage of our annual travel insurance policy is the fact that more than 50 hazardous activities and adventure sports are covered with your policy automatically. We offer cover for activities such as bungee jumping, surfing, parascending, rollerblading, white water rafting and heaps more, and you pay no more for this much needed cover as it is all included in your premium.
Backpacker Policy for Annual Trips
We suggest our Backpacker Policy as the ideal policy type for anyone under the age of 40 years travelling for a period of up to 12 months on a working holiday as it provides all the cover you need, including baggage and 24 hour medical emergency assistance. Our Backpacker Travel Insurance policy provides great cover at an even better price for:
- Personal accident and medical expenses (including 24 hr emergency assistance service)
- Baggage, personal money, travel documents and valuables
- Travel delay
- Cancellation and Curtailment
- Missed departure
