Why should you take out Travel Insurance?

A high number of NZ travellers don't believe they need travel insurance for Australia for 2 major reasons; the reciprocal health agreement between the 2 countries; and the close
proximity of Australia - it isn't 'really' going overseas. However these reasons couldn't be further from the truth. Any time you travel overseas you should take out a travel insurance policy that will cover you, at the very least, for incurred medical expenses, legal expenses and personal liability.

The thing to remember is that illness and injury can happen anywhere and in any country, close to home or not. The same can be said for stolen or damaged baggage.

Personal liability and legal expenses cover should also be a madatory part of your travel insurance policy. Personal liability insurance ensures that you are covered should you damage someone else's person or property, including legal expenses.

The Backpacker Travel Insurance Policy

For travellers headed to Australia, whether for a weekend or a year long adventure, take a look at the 'Backpacker Policy.' It covers you for medical expenses and repatriation, personal liability and legal expenses, personal accident, baggage and personal effects, cancellation and curtailment of your trip, travel delay and missed departure.
