Continuously evolving to cater for the millennial travellers, Pelikin has bolstered the city’s recently travel insurance product to now allow its customers to create customized policies based on what they are doing when they travel and what they take with them.
Pelikin customers can first buy one of 3 insurance policies and then build up their policy by adding up to 10 optional extras. This means that Pellikin customers will never pay for cover that they don’t need, making the Pelikin travel insurance product a unique proposition within the market.
Following an extensive market and customer research, the young startup identified 2 major problems when it comes to their customers and travel insurance. A staggering 46% of millennials in a recent survey declared they don’t bother buying travel insurance, not because they don’t think they need, but rather they don’t understand what they’re getting when they buy it. They link Travel Insurance to being ripped off and that is what the Pelikin team are working to fix.
Pelikin offers the following extra packs for its customers :
- Mobile Phone & Device Pack
- Car Rental Pack
- Adventure Sports Pack
- Snow Sports Pack
- Golf Pack
- Bicycle Pack
- Business Pack
- Pregnancy Pack
- Cruise Ship Pack
With customer acquisition growing significantly month on month, Pelikin now is expecting to see further growth as it prepares to promote and distribute it’s broadened value proposition. The startup is now firmly placed in the market as not only a better alternative to dated travel card products but now a more flexible and affordable alternative to traditional travel insurance product.
The Pelikin isn’t taking their foot off the accelerator with many new partnerships and product add-ons scheduled for release before the end of the year.
To check out the Pelikin product you can download the Pelikin App from their website (http://pelikin.co) and more information about the Travel Insurance product can be found in the Pelikin CRIISP Deal Room.

Forget Startups: Why Magnetic Alliance is Betting on “Boring” Mid-Market Turnarounds
While Australia’s venture capital scene spent years chasing unprofitable tech startups and speculative high-growth plays, Mark Lim was quietly taking a radically different path. The Managing Partner of Magnetic Alliance Capital sees the nation’s richest investment opportunities hiding in plain sight: inside thousands of unglamorous, profitable, but operationally sluggish mid-market businesses. Speaking on Wholesale Investor’s […]
The asset class where the market has no vote
Litigation funding returns are decided in a courtroom, not a cycle. Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]
The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not
Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
