TRAVEL INSURANCE<br />
Whether you’re hitting the streets of New<br />
York City or skiing the Canadian Rockies,<br />
you’d be crazy to leave home without travel<br />
insurance. We know you must be buzzing<br />
for your trip to begin and travel insurance<br />
is the last thing on your mind. However, our<br />
experience tells us that travelling without<br />
cover is simply not a risk worth taking. <strong>STA</strong><br />
<strong>Travel</strong> offers travel insurance policies that<br />
cover you for a range of benefits, such as<br />
cover for medical, cancellation, emergency<br />
transport and accommodation. Plus if things<br />
go wrong you’ll have access to the 24 hour<br />
emergency assistance team of doctors,<br />
nurses and case managers. To chat about<br />
your travel insurance options or for a quote,<br />
ask your <strong>STA</strong> <strong>Travel</strong> adviser today!<br />
HEALTH<br />
It’s your responsibility to obtain proper and<br />
detailed medical advice in good time before<br />
you go. We suggest that you visit the Safe<br />
<strong>Travel</strong> website at safetravel.govt.nz for up<br />
to date information. Your local GP can also<br />
give advice on which vaccinations you’ll need<br />
for particular countries.<br />
VISA<br />
Your trip of a lifetime will quickly ground<br />
to a screeching halt if you forget to sort<br />
out your entrance visas. Please don’t<br />
forget to check with the relevant embassy<br />
if you need to get a visa for the countries<br />
that you plan to visit. Anyone stopping or<br />
transiting in the USA (who don’t require a<br />
pre-arranged visa) must complete an online<br />
E<strong>STA</strong> at least 72 hours prior to departure.<br />
TRAVEL SAFETY TIPS<br />

The weather can vary hugely from state to<br />
state in the USA so make sure you're aware<br />
of possible hazards.<br />
right is right!<br />
If you're planning on driving we recommend<br />

passes to get you sorted!<br />
