Emergency assistance is provided by Allianz Global Assistance. What we will pay In consideration of the payment of the premium, we agree to indemnify you in the manner and to the extent set out in this document. This document, the Policy Certificate, application form and any written confirmation issued by us extending or limiting cover form your insurance contract. We will pay claims up to the Maximum Benefit amounts shown in the Schedule of Benefits, depending on whether you have elected to purchase the Comprehensive, Essentials or Loss of Deposits Policy Option. Your Policy Certificate details the type of cover you have purchased. The policy limits apply per insured person and are stated in New Zealand Dollars. Please read this policy wording carefully and note the exclusions in each section and also the general conditions and exclusions at the end of the policy wording to ensure that you understand the cover provided by us. If you need any clarification on your cover or the policy wording please contact either your issuing agent, or our Customer Service Centre on Toll Free 0800 800 048 Insured The insured person under this insurance policy is; 1. The “insured person” under this insurance policy is the person or persons named in the Policy Certificate who have paid the required premium. 2. Dependent children under 21 years of age or grandchildren under 21 years of age plus up to one other non-related dependant child under 21 years of age travelling with an insured person are covered free of charge. Their policy benefits will be shared within the travelling insured person’s policy limits. In this document, the insured person is also referred to as “you” or “your”. Period of insurance Your policy commences once a Policy Certificate has been issued to you and the required premium is paid. Loss of Deposits cover expires once the full Journey has been paid for. The period of insurance for all other Policy Options continues until the expiry date shown on your Policy Certificate or until you return to your normal place of residence, whichever is the earlier date. For frequent flyer policies your policy is activated at the commencement of each Journey undertaken in the period of insurance. If you have purchased a frequent flyer policy option then each Journey is covered up to a maximum of 60 days. Excess An excess, as stated in your Policy Certificate, will be deducted from our settlement if you make a claim (unless a higher excess has been imposed on your cover by us and confirmed to you in writing). The excess applies under this policy to each separate event giving rise to a claim. There will be no excess charged if you have purchased and paid the additional premium for a No Excess policy. This will be shown on your Policy Certificate. Important claims information If during your Journey you are to be hospitalised, require evacuation or repatriation services, need to make alternative travel or accommodation arrangements or have lost your baggage or money, please notify us as soon as possible. All claims must be notified as soon as possible and in any event no later than 30 days after the completion of the Journey. If you do not contact us this may affect the acceptance or payment of your claim. We provide our customers with easy access to our 24 hour emergency assistance service. A single call will put you directly in touch with a doctor or travel specialist who will be able to assist you and confirm cover available under your policy.
