How Group Travel Cover Works
Group Travel Designed for Schools, Teams & Business Groups
Travelling as a group brings its own considerations — shared itineraries, a mix of travellers and often special activities or events along the way. Go Insurance Group Travel Insurance is designed specifically for schools, sporting teams and business groups, so everyone is travelling under cover built for the trip.
With Go Insurance you can expect comprehensive cover at a competitive price, 24/7 global emergency assistance, and a dedicated claims team focused on fast, supportive service for educational, sporting and corporate travellers.
Why Groups Choose Go Insurance
Go Insurance Group Travel Insurance is built around the way organised groups actually travel.
Who Should Consider Group Travel?
Group Travel Insurance is worth considering if your group is travelling together on a shared itinerary.
What Group Travel Insurance May Include
Our Group Travel policy provides a range of travel-related benefits designed to support every member of your group. All benefits are subject to the limits, conditions and exclusions in the Policy Wording.
Unlimited Overseas Medical, Repatriation & Evacuation
If any group member suffers an accidental injury or illness while overseas, the policy provides cover for medical expenses, and for evacuation or repatriation where it is medically necessary — so your travellers can get the care they need, wherever they are.
Automatic Cover for Pre-existing Medical Conditions
Pre-existing medical conditions are a fact of life and shouldn’t stop your group travelling. Provided the traveller is not travelling against medical advice or to obtain treatment, there is cover for pre-existing medical conditions, subject to the Policy Wording.
24/7 Global Assistance
Group itineraries often involve special activities and destinations. Go Insurance provides global assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including pre-travel and destination advice where required.
Cancellation, Curtailment & Trip Disruption
Cover for cancellation, curtailment and trip disruption caused by circumstances outside your control — helping protect the cost of group travel when plans change unexpectedly.
Personal Baggage, Money & Emergency Purchases
Cover for loss, theft of or damage to belongings, including compensation toward the purchase of immediate necessities if luggage is delayed during transit.
Political & Natural Disaster Evacuation
If a natural disaster prevents planned travel, or the New Zealand government recommends evacuation, we’ll help get your group home quickly and safely.
Hijack, Kidnap & Kidnap for Ransom
Most travel is safe, but depending on where your group is heading there can be heightened risk. Should the worst happen, the Group Travel policy provides valuable cover in the event of hijack or kidnapping.
One Policy for Your Whole Group
Rather than arranging individual policies, your whole group can travel under a single Group Travel policy — simpler to organise and built around your shared itinerary. Cover is subject to the Policy Wording.
