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.
