How much did this claim cost ?

We all have the occasional fall; we may lose our footing or trip over something we didnā€™t see. But for one of Cover-More NZ Travel Insurance customer's, a simple fall turned into months of hospital care after a small scrape led to multiple infections and extended hospital stays.

What began as a minor incident on their once-in-a-lifetime holiday quickly escalated, and their dream trip was cut short by a series of complications.

They covered their medical and repatriation costs, whopping $700,000 claim!!

Comprehensive travel insurance is a crucial component of every overseas trip.

For those of you that have met me...what has AI got so wrong here ?

A prime example that AI can be a fantastic information tool, however accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Always use a professional when it comes to actually booking a holiday or anything else for that matter.
