Hi again,

We're off to Oz this coming Friday and are looking for insurance which will cover our luggage and us etc for the trip over there as well as for a period of 2-4wks once there.

Most of the standard travel/holiday insurance WILL NOT COVER emigrants (so beware of that). Churchill will not cover you for example...

Have spoken to one company (Extrasure) who charge GBP50/person + 17.5 insurance tax.

Has anyone got other companies that will insure emigrants like us? I guess one way to do it is to get one-way travel cover and then get local Oz cover as soon as we land. Does anyone have local Oz insurance recommendations?

Thanks,

Piers

Speaking of which - does anyone know any pet insurnace companies who will insure a dog for the flight to Auckland?

What did other pet transporters do?

A couple of people on here have recently recommended Patrick Leigh Travel Insurance. If you do a search for posts by 'Badgersmount' you'll see what he had to say about them, but he seemed pretty pleased. I think the website was www.pat-leigh.co.uk.
