Add-on travel insurance
It's easy to buy travel insurance at the same time as your flights - but it's not the cheapest option. See our policy comparison from 7 booking websites.
When you book a flight or holiday, travel websites from Air New Zealand to Webjet tout the convenience of buying their travel insurance at the same time. However, we found these products can cost more and offer less cover than policies sold separately.
For a one-week trip to Australia and a two-week holiday to Japan, we compared travel insurance policies offered by seven booking websites: Air New Zealand, BudgetAir, Expedia, Mix and Match, Travelgenio, Tripsta and Webjet.
