Written by James Hewitt·Winter Sports Insurance Specialist·Updated June 2026Group vs Individual Policies
For ski groups of 10 or more travellers, some NZ providers offer group pricing or streamlined group purchasing. For smaller groups of 2–9 people, the most practical approach is for each person to purchase individual policies from the same provider simultaneously, which ensures coverage consistency across the group and sometimes triggers minor group discounts. Individual policies also allow each traveller to declare their own pre-existing conditions and activity requirements independently.
Ski Club and Organised Group Travel
Ski clubs organising group trips should ensure all members have appropriate ski travel insurance before departure. Club organisers should communicate clearly that insurance is each individual's responsibility, specify the minimum coverage requirements for club trips (particularly medical limits and activity coverage for the planned terrain), and recommend providers that cover the specific activities planned. Off-piste touring or heli-skiing days require specialist cover that not all group members may have considered.
Emergency Procedures for Groups
When travelling in a group, designate a trip leader who holds copies of each member's insurance policy emergency contact numbers. All major NZ ski insurance providers offer 24/7 emergency assistance lines — ensure every group member has this number saved. In a ski accident scenario, the injured person or a companion should contact the insurance emergency line as early as possible, as the insurer can coordinate helicopter rescue, hospital admission, and family notification.
Equipment for Group Trips
Groups travelling with shared or individually owned equipment should ensure individual equipment cover is in place for each person's gear. Group ski hire arrangements are common for club trips — confirm that your policy covers hire equipment excess (the amount you would be liable to pay the hire shop for damaged or lost hire equipment). This is separate from cover for personal owned equipment.
