Long Weekend Road Trips and Life’s What-Ifs: Are You Covered?

May 30, 2025

Sun’s out, bag’s packed, playlist’s ready—yep, it’s long weekend time in NZ! Whether you’re off to the beach, heading to see the whānau, or just chasing some sunshine, there’s something magical about hitting the road for a mini break.

But before you take off, here’s a quick question:

If something happened, would your loved ones be okay?

(We know, not the most cheerful thought—but bear with us!)

Life’s a Journey (But Sometimes It Takes a Detour)

The truth is, long weekends are prime time for road trips and for traffic accidents. No one likes to think about it, but it’s a risk that comes with all that movement on the roads.

That’s why having funeral insurance sorted isn’t just about ticking a box—it’s about making sure your people are looked after, no matter what. It’s one of those “grown-up” things that feels good to have handled.
