With any sort of international travel adventure, there's an element of risk. You could get sick or have an accident, lose something or be targeted by a pickpocket. And air travel doesn't always go smoothly - missed connections and misplaced baggage make for interesting memories!

The easy way around all this is to get travel insurance before you leave home. As an ASB customer, you can arrange travel cover by phoning our Travel Line - 0800 925 566 - or by calling into your local ASB branch.

Good reasons to get ASB travel insurance

• A choice of two plans: Choose Recommended, for maximum cover Budget, if you're travelling on a shoestring.
