Great products. It does take some time to fill in all the medical info when travelling with my disabled son. Would be great if you could keep our profile on hand so that it isnt as onerous online each time
Very easy to purchase online
Very easy to purchase online, and I have purchased travel insurance before from Southern Cross. I didn't need to make a claim, but felt confident the claiming process would be as seamless as the purchasing process.
It was cheaper than the others
It was cheaper than the others. Had no issues so unable to comment on claims
Great website to navigate and offers…
Great website to navigate and offers fast and efficient quotes with extensive coverage options.
Pleased to have received email confirmation of policy and follow up emails once purchased for easy access.

We always use this as our travel insurance provider. Not too expensive, covers a lot, easy to apply and clear on what is covered and not.
Elgo…
We thankfully made no claims on our Southern Cross insurance, but it was reassuring to be covered following refusal to provide travel cover by the ANZ Bank insurers for age related reasons..
Excellent travel insurance provider
Excellent travel insurance provider. I have used SCTI for years and have had to make a claim once in the past and now again on my recent trip I had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. Initially SCTI said my claim may not qualify as per clause…… but to still put a claim forward for assessment. I have now been advised they are going to cover the remaining cost of my return flights (less standard $100 excess of course) that I wasn’t able to be refunded from Emirates. I really thought it was a long shot, beyond rapt. Will always use SCTI!
Quick and easy
Thankfully, we didn't need to use our travel insurance. Getting the quote and sorting it all out online was really quick and easy. Good for peace of mind.
You need insured
I lost my phone during the trip in Sydney. And my claim was taking care within a few days by the team with a reasonable solution.
Excellent Service
We had a travel delay on our return and I informed SCI of our delay caused by the airline. By the time we got home instructions from SCI were waiting for us on how to make a claim which was settled very quickly. Previous experience of other travel insurance companies this was so much more straightforward and user friendly.
Worth the peace of mind
Travel insurance is worth the peace of mind, easy to set up and be covered for anything unexpected, Southern Cross make the whole process seemless :)
Easy to get cover online
Easy to complete and get the insurance needed for peace of mind. Had a great get away, with no issues and therefore I thankfully didn't experience what it would be like to complete a claim. I can only presume it would all be stress free.
Until my next flight away 🙃
I completely trust this service but am…
I completely trust this service but am not pleased with the timeframe which they took to give me my money and also the estimated timeframe they gacve me was way off
Easy to use and understand
Easy to use and understand
Able to make decision to use the product while on line
Remain unsure if already having Southern Cross health care means you are covered anywhere in NZ if undertaking domestic travel
Cell phone lost/stolen
Awesome and fast to deal with
Awesome and fast to deal with. Had a minor medical event while away. Had to make a claim it was very quick and easy on line. And my claim was accepted within 48 hours. Will definitely use Southern Cross again in the future.
Easy sign up
Easy sign up, clear explanation of coverage. Comprehensive cover with good value for money. Keep it up!
