TRAVELING TO ROTE PLAN YOUR TRIP

Do you have Travel insurance

Must read before booking your trip overseas

It is always best to check with your bank for when you pay for your overseas trips with your bank card ( master card or visa card ) that you are covered for a number of covers of travel insurance at no extra cost.

For extra peace of mind Cover More Travel Insurance is my recommendation for cover while overseas. If you intend to hire a motorbike while overseas make sure you obtain a international motorcycle license and wear a motorcycle helmet. Most injuries I see happen in Rote are from motorcycles.
