About Compare Travel Insurance

Q: How does the rating system work?

Our [star ratings](/reviews-methodology/) are determined entirely by customers, not our editorial team. Each rating reflects an aggregate of reviews submitted by real customers based on their claims and service experiences. We apply no ranking or scoring of our own, and ratings are never influenced by commercial relationships with insurers.

New Zealand's specialist travel insurance comparison service.

What we do

CompareTravelInsurance.co.nz (CTI) is New Zealand's dedicated travel insurance comparison platform, helping Kiwis find the right policy quickly and confidently.

We compare quotes in one place, giving you a clear view of the market. Because we specialise exclusively in travel insurance, nothing else – our expertise runs deeper than any general comparison site.

Plus, our platform is free to use. We may earn commissions from insurer partners only when you quote and purchase a policy. That commercial relationship never influences how policies are ranked or priced.

Our mission is simple: remove the complexity from comparing travel insurance so every Kiwi can travel with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which brands do you compare?

Our quoting engine includes policies from a range of New Zealand travel insurers. While we don't compare every insurer operating in NZ, our reviews section and specialist guides feature additional brands that offer niche or specialised cover.

How do I get a quote?

Getting a quote is straightforward. Simply enter your trip details into our online comparison tool and we'll return quotes from multiple insurers in seconds – at no cost and with no obligation to purchase.

How does the rating system work?

Our star ratings are determined entirely by customers, not our editorial team. Each rating reflects an aggregate of reviews submitted by real customers based on their claims and service experiences. We apply no ranking or scoring of our own, and ratings are never influenced by commercial relationships with insurers.

Is your comparison tool free to use?

Yes! There is no cost to compare policies through our platform, and no fees are added if you choose to purchase. We are remunerated through commissions paid directly by insurer partners. The prices shown on our site are the same great prices as purchasing direct.

Do you have any conflicts of interest?

We are owned and operated by CoverDirect NZ Limited (INC 3526051). We have directors and shareholders in common with 1Cover, TINZ and Zoom Travel Insurance. Those brands are included on our website in a similar way that other brands are included. We are of course, open to listing other travel insurance brands on our website and welcome contact from new partners.

We operate a similar travel insurance comparison service in Australia.
