What is comprehensive travel insurance?
Comprehensive travel insurance helps protect travellers with a broad range of benefits while they’re away from home. In comparison to a base-level, budget-friendly travel insurance plan, it often includes more benefits and higher benefit levels to help safeguard travellers from a wider range of incidents.
Beyond the usual benefits of emergency overseas medical expenses and luggage, comprehensive travel insurance plans can include coverage for travel provider insolvency, rental vehicle insurance excess, lost or stolen money, missed connections, hijacking, disability, accidental death, and much more.

Does Cover-More comprehensive travel insurance include cancellation cover?
Our comprehensive travel insurance plans don’t automatically include cover for amendment or cancellation costs.
Instead, we give our customers the freedom to add a level of cancellation cover during the quote process that best suits their travel plans.
Typically, people look to choose an amount that will cover all prepaid travel tickets, hotels, tours, or other travel-related expenses for all travellers on the policy. The level of cover you choose will be the total amount of cover available under the cancellation benefit on a per policy basis.
Please note: if you include Cover-More’s travel insurance cancellation cover in your policy, it will influence the premium you are charged.
What other travel insurance plans does Cover-More offer?
Don’t need a comprehensive travel insurance plan? We also have an International Basic travel insurance plan for those who want a basic level cover for a more budget-friendly price.
Travelling within New Zealand? We have two comprehensive Domestic Plans, both of which are available on Single Trip and Annual Multi-Trip policies.
