Reply To: Is that necessary to get travel insurance while travel in NZ?

[Kerryn De Luca]

For the sake of a couple of hundred dollars, you’d be silly to travel without it.
A friend of mine suffered a stroke whilst in Germany a couple of years ago. She was hospitalised for around 5 weeks while they stabilised her for the trip home, on a bed with accompanying medical supervision. The hospital stay and trip home was nearly $75k, and thankfully all covered under travel insurance.
Do you still want to risk not getting it…?
