Travel insurance for New Zealand travellers
From single overseas trips to annual multi-trip cover and educational travel arrangements. Marble helps you choose travel cover that responds where it should – medical, cancellation, baggage and the unexpected disruptions in between.
“Travel insurance is the policy you most hope you never use – and the one you most want to be right when you do.”
Travel insurance looks simple from the outside – a tick box at the airline website or a quick online quote. The wording, sub-limits and exclusions are anything but.
Pre-existing conditions, adventure activities, alcohol exclusions, baggage limits, cancellation triggers and the difference between single-trip and annual multi-trip cover all sit underneath the headline price.
An adviser who works with travel cover will start with the trip, the travellers, the activities and the value of what is being carried – then check that the policy actually responds to the way the travel is being done.
Travel – everyday reality
Common risks we help you plan for.
Overseas medical events
Hospitalisation, medical evacuation and repatriation can run into six figures very quickly.
Trip cancellation or curtailment
Non-refundable bookings, change fees and rebooking costs add up fast.
Lost or delayed baggage
Item-level limits, electronics caps and proof of ownership all shape the outcome.
Travel delay and disruption
Missed connections, weather events and airline issues vary by policy.
Pre-existing conditions
Disclosure requirements and exclusions are some of the most-missed details in travel cover.
Adventure activities
Skiing, diving, motorcycling and similar activities may need specific cover or extensions.
Personal liability overseas
Liability arising from incidents abroad can be substantial – and policy terms differ.
Cover that may be relevant for your situation.
Single trip cover
Cover designed for one defined trip, with start and end dates aligned to the itinerary.
Annual multi-trip cover
Cover designed for frequent travellers, with multiple trips per year up to a set duration each.
Educational travel cover
Cover designed for students, gap years or longer-term study travel arrangements.
Medical and evacuation
Cover that may respond to overseas medical treatment, evacuation and repatriation.
Cancellation and curtailment
Cover designed to respond to trip cancellation, change or interruption.
Baggage and personal effects
Cover for luggage, valuables and items carried during the trip.
The right insurance mix depends on your circumstances, the value of what you are protecting and how you actually live. Marble can help you review what is appropriate for your situation.

When a single phone call from overseas becomes a six-figure conversation.
A traveller is hospitalised overseas after a sudden medical event. The cost of treatment, transfer to a suitable facility and eventual repatriation runs well into six figures. The policy responds – but the wording around pre-existing conditions, evacuation triggers and approved providers all decide how cleanly it does so.
An adviser conversation before the trip is the difference between a traumatic event and a traumatic event with a clean insurance response.
Travel insurance – common questions.
Get your cover reviewed before you need to rely on it.
A quick conversation with a Marble adviser can help you understand whether your current insurance still matches the way you live, what you own and what you would want to be true at claim time.
