  • Q. Am I covered off-piste skiing?
  • As long as you're with a qualified guide or instructor within ski resort boundaries, then we will cover you for off-piste skiing. We cannot cover you for skiiing in unpatrolled remote areas or unmarked slopes alone.

  • Q. Are my medical fees covered if I sustain an injury while participating in an adventure sport?
  • Yes. If you were to have an unforeseen accident on holiday while participating in a listed activity, your medical expenses would be covered, so long as you were not intentionally putting yourself at risk.

  • Q. What does activities with Special Conditions 2 refer to?
  • Certain high-risk activities fall under the Special Conditions 2 category, which are noted in the Policy Document.  It is important to note that there is no cover for permanent disability, personal liability or death benefits for activities within this category.

  • Q. Do you cover scuba diving?
  • Absolutely. We agree that scuba diving is a great way to explore the deep blue sea. You're only covered if you hold an open water diving license or you are diving under licensed instruction.  If you are a qualified scuba diver you are covered for accompanied dives with a maximum depth of 30 metres. If you are unqualified you are covered for a maximum depth of 30 metres with an instructor. 

  • Q. Will I be covered to ride a scooter, moped or motorcycle while overseas?
  • You’re covered on two or three wheels, so long as your bike has a maximum engine size of 50cc. You are also required to wear a helmet and hold a current New Zealand motorcycle (or driver’s license) or a valid license recognized for the country you are travelling in.

  • Q. Which activities are excluded?
  • We don’t cover outdoor rock climbing, hang-gliding, boating in international waters or any kind of professional or competitive sports. For a full list of excluded activities please refer to Policy Document.

  • Q. Do you cover professional sports persons?
  • No.  We consider professional and competitive sports too risky. If you are planning to compete in a sporting event (either as a professional sportsperson, or not as a paid sportsperson) you will need to seek cover from a specialist sports insurer.
