• I'm going overseas to work for a whole year, can I buy a Zoom policy?

• Yes, you can purchase a Zoom Travel Insurance policy for a maximum trip duration of 365 days. Zoom to it!

• Can I buy a frequent flyer policy for multiple business trips?

• Yes, our frequent traveller plan covers you both at work and play that’s the beauty of this policy. An annual multi-trip policy covers you for lots of little trips throughout the year, not one single trip with a duration of 12 months. Keep in mind that for each business trip you take there is a limit on the number of days that you can be away. This is known as a ‘maximum trip duration’. The best thing, you don’t need to tell us when you’re travelling or where you’re going!

• Yes, Zoom's rental vehicle excess add-on covers you for any dings, dents or theft to your hire car. 

• What age limits apply to Zoom's travel insurance policies?

• You must be under the age of 85 to buy a policy with Zoom. Those under 79 years can purchase a policy for a maximum trip duration of 365 days.
