Travel Insurance Plans
Single Trip or Annual Multi Trip, NIB have plans to suit the trip you are taking.
Single Trip Comprehensive Plan
Travelling to the slopes of Queenstown for a few days, Japan for a week, Canada or Europe for a month - consider this Comprehensive plan with snow cover.
Single Trip Essentials Plan
Not skiing and only need 'basic' cover? If you plan to spend your time exploring the shops or enjoying a hot chocolate in a warm cafe, then you probably don’t need to take out the Snow Sport cover option. The Essentials plan provides lower cover than the Comprehensive plan, and does not allow for the addition of snow cover.
Annual Multi Trip Plans
Do you travel to the snow more than once each year? Take multiple trips per year with travel insurance that offers cover for overseas and domestic travels, more than 200km from your home in Australia, for trips of up to 45 days.

If you are already overseas and need to extend your trip there is a 72-hour waiting period for all policies purchased while travelling.
