About Us
Built for Kiwis
travelling with cancer
Honest, clear information about travel insurance for cancer patients — because most comparison sites treat it as an afterthought.
Who This Site Is For
Recently diagnosed
Wondering what your options are and whether you can still insure planned travel.
On active treatment
On maintenance therapy or finishing chemotherapy and wanting to travel between appointments.
In remission
Cancer-free or in long-term remission and ready to travel again with confidence.
A cancer diagnosis changes your relationship with the future — including travel plans. But it doesn't have to mean giving up on travel. We exist to make the insurance side of that as straightforward as possible.
The Gap in the Market
Travel insurance for cancer patients exists — but finding honest information about which providers will actually help you, and what a realistic outcome looks like, is surprisingly difficult.
Most comparison sites treat cancer as a “pre-existing condition” footnote. We treat it as the primary topic — because for Kiwis with cancer, getting this right matters most.

Our Mission
Help Kiwis with cancer travel with confidence.
That means giving you the clearest possible picture of your insurance options — the good, the complicated, and the things you must not overlook.
Important: We are not a licensed financial adviser and we do not sell insurance directly. We provide general information to help you make informed decisions. All quotes and purchases happen directly with the insurance provider.
How We Evaluate Providers
How clearly does the provider explain the medical assessment process for cancer?
Is the online assessment straightforward, or does it require multiple phone calls?
What's actually covered once cancer is disclosed — and what's excluded?
The maximum medical cover available and any sub-limits that apply.
The financial strength of the underlying insurer paying claims.
Real-world feedback from cancer patients on claims handling and service.
Ratings are our editorial assessment and are updated regularly as provider offerings change.
