AA Member discount*
AA Members can get a 10% discount on new AA Travel Insurance policies. Simply provide your AA Membership number when you apply.
-
24/7 Emergency Assistance
With AA Travel Insurance, you’ll have access to the Allianz 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team. A single call will put you in touch with a specialist who will be able to help you.
-
Cover for pre-existing medical conditions
Under the Comprehensive plan, you can apply to get your pre-existing medical conditions covered. If accepted, this can give you that extra peace of mind during your holiday.
-
Cover for missed connections or travel delays
If you miss connections or have any travel delays because of unexpected situations, you will be able to claim up to the maximum benefit limit based on your policy type. This includes additional hotel and travel costs.
-
Cover for some COVID-related situations^
All plans include selected cover for epidemic and pandemic diseases, like COVID-19 in some situations:
- If you're diagnosed with the disease and you can't go on your trip or have to go home early
- If you’re quarantined or put into self-isolation by the NZ Government if you’re suspected of having been exposed to the disease
- If you’re denied boarding on any scheduled public transport service based on the suspicion that you have the disease.
-
Cover before you depart
Your trip is protected from unforeseen cancellation and loss of deposits the moment your cover is confirmed.
For all of these benefits, please make sure you read the Policy Wording to understand the benefit limits, terms or exclusions that apply.
^The policy still has a general exclusion for epidemics and pandemics, and does not cover disinclination to travel due to fear or change of mind. Cover is only provided if you have not commenced your journey against the New Zealand Government’s advice not to travel. There is no cover for lockdowns, changes in government alert levels, quarantine or mandatory isolation applying to a population or part of a population. Please refer to the Policy Wording for full details.
^Terms, conditions, limits, sub-limits and exclusions apply and these are stated in the Policy Wording. Customers considering the purchase of a travel insurance policy should read the Policy Wording to check what is and isn’t covered.
