    Insurance providers are paying out more money and more frequently for New Zealanders travelling abroad

    Insurance providers are paying out more money and more frequently for New Zealanders travelling abroad


    Southern Cross Travel Insurance says in 2025 it paid out more than 7.3-million dollars in claims.

    One of the most expensive claims was 650-thousand dollars for a person who became sick in Italy.

    Chief Customer Officer Jess Strange says travellers over the age of 50 are becoming a greater cost.

    She says they accounted for over a million dollars in claims in 2025 - double that of 2024.
