1Cover has received two major awards at the 2025 Canstar Travel Insurance Awards, taking out Outstanding Value for both International Travel Insurance and Seniors Travel Insurance in New Zealand.
The awards follow Canstar’s annual independent review of travel insurance products across the market. Canstar assessed 34 products from 18 providers, with 1Cover recognised for value across both general and senior traveller categories.
Chief operating officer Natalie Ball says the recognition reflects the company’s focus on quality and affordability.
“Despite rising travel costs, Kiwis are still keen to explore the world,” Natalie says. “This recognition reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality, affordable travel insurance New Zealanders can rely on.”
She says the seniors award is particularly significant, given the cost pressures often faced by older travellers.
“Being recognised for outstanding value for seniors shows our efforts to offer inclusive, reasonably priced cover are making a difference,” Natalie says. “Mature travellers are often priced out of quality insurance, and we’re proud to help ensure they can travel with confidence.”
1Cover says recent policy updates have increased flexibility, allowing customers to tailor cover to their trip without paying for unnecessary extras, helping to keep premiums down while maintaining comprehensive protection.
Canstar’s travel insurance awards assess both price and policy features across a range of traveller profiles, with the aim of identifying products that deliver strong value.
Natalie says the awards are an endorsement of 1Cover’s approach.
“Travel remains a priority for many New Zealanders,” she says. “We’re proud to help Kiwis travel safely and confidently, without breaking the bank.”
