About Us

We built TripInsurance.com to make it easier and cheaper to buy great travel insurance.

Many travelers really don’t really understand all of the details and benefits of travel insurance. Many people buy it based on a recommendation from their travel agency, but they seldom really understand their coverage, and they rarely read their policy until they go to file a claim.  When they try to buy it online, it has been far too confusing to sort out all the options.  Fifty different policies can come up in a quote on consolidator sites, and many of them are duplicates from the same underwriter, varying only by the name and a few dollars.   It shouldn’t be so hard to get great travel insurance.

Our goals for this site were clear:

  1. Make the policy terms easier to understand;
  2. Group the insurance into clear categories that make it easy to find the coverage you need
  3. Let travelers buy direct from the leading underwriters to save as much as 40% or more on equivalent coverage.

We provide you with great support – every step of the way.   When you buy, we offer great tips on how to get the most out of a policy in our Travel Insurance Buyer’s Guide.  If you need help buying the policy, or just need someone to hold your hand through the process, we have telephone and chat support available to help. Most of our policies offer 24/7 travel support while you are on your trip.  A quick call can help you with travel delays, medical assistance, or even emergency evacuation.  Our claims staff will help you file a claim if you needed to cancel, or have suffered a covered loss during your vacation.

We have negotiated exclusive policies at exclusive rates from some of the largest and most reputable insurance companies in the travel insurance business.  These are the very same insurance companies that are behind the brands you buy from your travel agent, or other consolidator sites.

Our company and staff are fully trained and licensed insurance professionals.  We have state licenses for Property and Casualty, Life, and Accident and Health insurance in all 50 states.
