Travel insurance with peace of mind
From unexpected medical emergencies to severe weather events or rental vehicle accidents, unforeseen events can quickly turn your dream trip into a stressful experience. That's where travel insurance comes in.
By securing the right coverage before you embark on your journey, you can travel with peace of mind, knowing that your policy may provide cover against a variety of potential risks.
Whether you're travelling to visit friends and family, holiday, or for a special occasion, travel insurance ensures that you're prepared for the unexpected, helping you stay focused on enjoying your trip rather than worrying about what might go wrong.
More than just a travel insurance policy
Air New Zealand wants you, and your family to travel in safety, wherever you go. We've partnered with Cover-More Travel Insurance so you can relax and take comfort in knowing that should something go wrong; we have an experienced team available to help you.
Air New Zealand travel insurance is the exclusive partner for Airpoints™ so all our policies earn you Airpoints Dollars™. You can also spend your Airpoints Dollars on our standalone insurance website.
Travelling to international destinations
Travel insurance is essential for overseas trips, offering protection against unexpected events like medical emergencies, natural disasters, or lost baggage and personal belongings.
Without it, you could potentially face significant financial risks while abroad.
Whether you're planning a one-time getaway or multiple adventures throughout the year, you can choose the coverage that suits your needs.
Add insurance when booking your flights online
Check out our travel insurance offer on the Extras page when booking your flights. This is the most convenient way to buy travel insurance and know you are covered from the moment you locked in your flight tickets.
There's no excess to pay and some exclusive benefits. Make sure you read the policy wording to understand more.
Travel insurance is only available to passengers under the age of 76 for travel outside of Australia. Our travel insurance is only available to residents of Australia.
Add insurance after you've booked your flights
You can purchase Air New Zealand travel insurance right up until departure, and you don't even need to be flying with Air New Zealand. Our comprehensive standalone travel insurance covers all types of travel whether it's by plane, train or boat.
And you can pay using Airpoints Dollars.
If you need higher limits on your special personal belongings or cover for an existing medical condition (beyond the long list of conditions that are already covered) you can apply online as part of your quote. Opt for a single trip policy for one-off journeys, or an annual multi-trip policy if you're a frequent traveller, ensuring you're covered throughout the year, no matter where your travels take you.
