NAVIGATING THE WORLD OF TRAVEL INSURANCE
Travel insurance is all too often seen as an afterthought of booking a holiday – something in many cases one might book in the final days or even hours prior to departure. The reality is, often small print can become the biggest problem. Where things go amiss.
James, who helped with our rebrand had a motorcycle accident in Sri Lanka while on a dirt bike trek – turns out the insurance company only covered bikes up to 225cc. James was on a 250cc. He had to cover all of his own medical bills. These kinds of nightmare stories are certainly not uncommon, we’ve all heard them before. We might even have a few of our own.
So how can you avoid such problems, while still being able to focus on the fun that’s to come? That’s where we can help.

IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF….
It’s no surprise that medical expenses top the list of travel insurance costs by claim. Holidays are often the time when we’re out exploring – trying new things and just being generally more adventurous than we may often be in our daily lives. This could be as simple as street food or as crazy as base jumping. At Nido, for our young clients or the young at heart – we believe the most important thing is to be covered for the location you’re heading to, and all it has to offer – rather than just the bare minimum. The reason for this, is you never know what you might want to do, such as a bungy jump or like James, a motorcycle trek. Often you’ll pay similar amounts across different providers based on the time you’re spending away, but not all cover is equal. We can spot the difference and the savings.
FIJI FAMILY FUN
This Friday, the family and I will be heading away for a family break to Fiji – as you could imagine we’re all very excited! We thought what better time than now to talk about travel insurance. Of course, Nido will still be open at this time with Nigel, Katie and the team keeping things moving on the ground in Grey Lynn.
We made our travel plans with Bon Voyage (www.bonvoyage.co.nz), grabbing an awesome deal in the Yasawas and of course we’re covered by 1Cover. I’ll be safely protected while trying my hand at scuba diving, parasailing and other adventurous activities. I look forward to seeing if some of the breathing techniques from the yoga mat, translate in the water!
