Thorner Travel Insurance Services
While you’re overseas, Travel Insurance is a necessary evil to cover you for…
- Lost luggage, personal belongings, money and documents
- Medical and related expenses
- Disrupted travel
- Your liability and legal costs, including the excess applicable to your rental vehicles
- Unexpected events such as hijacks, terrorism and search and rescue.
It is recommended that you purchase cover from the time that you purchase your tickets as a genuine unforeseen circumstance could occur preventing travel from the outset, it may be as simple as you breaking your leg!
Some memoirs of past clients travel experiences….
- The male partner of a retired couple of good health going to Australia decided that they didn’t need Travel Insurance but the wife wasn’t so sure and they came back on the day before travel to take out a policy. Three days into their holiday he had a turn and died. The insurer took care of the arrangements and flew her back on the same plane as his body which cost $12,000. The three most caring things she commented on were that nothing was a bother, they came home together and there was a lovely bunch of flowers waiting for her. She also didn’t have any savings to meet unforeseen circumstances and was grateful that they had spent so little to get so much.
- Another regular travel got to England to find his bags were not on the same flight and they were not going to arrive for another 24 hours. He quickly availed of the “delayed, misdirected or misplaced” section of his policy to get up to $1,500 for the purchase of essential personal effects and clothing.
- Then there is the gentleman who was at the rugby match in Fiji and the grandstand collapsed. He was fine but he lost his camera in the rubble.
We have all heard about the price of medical care, particularly in the USA, so you should think twice before leaving New Zealand without any Travel Insurance.
