Have Medical and General Insurance to meet your needs!
Travel Insurance is just that! An insurance to cover you, when things go wrong. It is one of the important things that should be high on your to do list before you leave home.
Travelling to different countries, the possibilities of something not going according to plan, are higher than usual. Do not see Travel Insurance as an optional extra! You could end up thousands of dollars out of pocket. Even a short trip should be covered.
Travel Health Insurance really is an absolute must! Here in New Zealand, medical treatment for citizens is expensive.For tourists......... who are not eligible for a government subsidy..... it is much more expensive!

Checking your Policy - Read Well!
Insurance policies are notoriously wordy and difficult to read. But you MUST read the small print.
Check you are covered for what you expect to be covered for. Are there any snags? Just having paid your premium will not mean you have automatic cover of all these things. It must be there written into the in the policy. There are often exclusions such as natural disasters. Know what you are paying for!
TIP - Make photocopies of all your documents including your
Insurance Policy
Tickets
Passport
Visas
Accommodation Chits
etc It will be very helpful if you do lose any of these.
