Does Travel INsurance cover natural disasters

  •  
  • Yes, all TINZ policies cover for trip cancellation benefits for prepaid travel expenses that you cannot recover when your trip is cancelled or cut short due to unexpected events such as a natural disaster.
  •  
  • If you already have a policy, and have started your journey, and your transport is delayed, or your accommodation is affected due to a unforeseen natural disaster there may be provision to claim for reasonable additional travel, accommodation and meal expenses.
  •  
  • If you have not yet departed, your policy will include cover for cancellation of your journey, or the unused portions of your journey, as a result of a unforeseen natural disaster. 

 

  • Please note, our policies do not cover claims for losses caused by something that you were aware of at the time of purchasing your policy. If you entered into a policy when news of a natural disaster was already in the mass media, we would expect that you were purchasing with an awareness of the event. For policies purchased after a known event, we will not, to the extent permitted by law, pay any claim caused by or arising from or in any way connected with the known event.

More information can be found in our Policy Wording.
