Queenstown Travel Insurance

Most people holiday in Queenstown without incident as it is a very safe place and healthcare is good here. Accidents do happen however, as with any destination where the focus is on adventure sports, and having adequate travel insurance cover is essential.

You should remain on guard while in busy areas as pick-pocketing is not unheard of here, while using common sense and leaving valuables and passports in a hotel safe is also advised. Always follow the guide’s instructions when partaking in extreme sports and be mindful that you are putting yourself at risk. Wearing layered clothing when hiking and skiing in the winter is an obvious necessity, yet it is also necessary to carry extras in the summer, when weather conditions may change without warning.

Take special care when driving on unsealed roads in the winter, as well as the summer, and use chains when visiting the ski resorts in snowy conditions. We strongly recommend that you take out travel insurance for yourself and your family when visiting Queenstown.
