If you’re thinking of taking a cruise while you’re away, you might want to add the Cruise Pack to your policy to ensure you’re covered at sea. See Policy Wording for full details.
If you’re going to take part in skiing, snowboarding or any other winter sports, you might want to consider adding our Winter Sports Pack to your policy. See Policy Wording for full details.

“1Cover have always dealt with my claims in a professional manner. We have no hesitation in recommending 1Cover.”
“We will always use 1Cover now - outstanding service, great experience (apart from the torn ACL). Huge thanks service was outstanding!”
In our 72 years, we have never had a travel claim. Thank you for making a horrendous time truly easy!
When you travel it's all about the new and unknown which unfortunately means you never know what could go wrong. Things like medical emergencies while overseas could cost $50,000+, and then there's lost luggage, stolen belongings and delayed flights which are more expenses on top of an already costly holiday.
Travel is unpredictable and travel insurance is there to help provide you peace of mind that when the unexpected happens, we'll be there to help out. We advise you to read the Policy Wording to make sure this product is right for you. If you have any questions please call our friendly call centre.
Yes. You must extend your policy before it expires (11.59pm AEST/AEDST). To extend your policy, use our online policy manager, or email us at [email protected] or speak to a call centre representative via online chat. One of our trained travel insurance specialists will assist you in the policy extension. You'll be issued with a quote for the policy extension period. And you'll need to process a payment for this extended period. Please note there may be instances where a policy extension is not available
If you leave your belongings unattended or unsupervised and they are stolen we are unable to cover them. Always keep watch of your belongings and ensure you or someone you trust is looking after them.
Being intoxicated is a general exclusion under the 1Cover policy wording and you will not be covered.
Our policy states that any claim arising from being intoxicated, addicted or under the influence of liquor or drugs, except those prescribed by a medical adviser, will not be covered.
No. For obvious reasons we can't help you out here. Always adhere to local laws.
Your complimentary university travel insurance may cover you for travel during the semester, but if you plan to do any travelling outside of term time, or to countries other than where your exchange is taking place, then you may not be covered.
Medical Only policies do not provide cover for luggage or any personal belongings, so you will need to purchase a comprehensive policy. Our comprehensive policies provide cover for up to $3000 for laptops, handheld computers, cameras and video cameras.
All countries have travel advice levels and you always check these prior to travelling. If a government or other official body have issued a specific "Do Not Travel" or "Reconsider your need to travel" warning and you go, you will not be covered. For more information, please see SafeTravel.
Your policy covers the full duration of your trip as stated on your Certificate of Insurance. There are no refunds should you go home earlier than planned.
If you’re planning on heading off for anything more than a month, there are a few things you need to think about.
They may seem like a good idea at the time, but these travel items are more pointless than practical.
The world is a field of cultural differences, and a gesture that’s acceptable in New Zealand may be highly offensive in another country.
