What is the easiest way to compare travel insurance?

January 24, 2007 By Damian Tysdal

With so many plans to choose from, the easiest way to shop for travel insurance is with a comparison website

Travel insurance comparison sites are basically agencies, just like Expedia.com or Orbitz.com. They have developed search engines that go out and gets prices from all carriers at the same time. This helps travelers by eliminating the need to visit several sites, re-enter your trip information, and then keep track of the quotes. Comparison sites do all of this for you.

Travelers get actual quotes…not estimated prices or “call for a quote” messages

After you enter some basic trip information, you will get instant, actual quotes from all major travel insurance companies. There is no “call to quote” or estimated premium…these quotes are what you will pay for the policy. This helps travelers save time and get the coverage they need.

Comparison sites organize all of the information so you can make an easy choice

When the policy quotes are displayed, they also arrange the quotes so you can understand the insurance coverage and pick the best plan for your trip. You will see how much coverage is provided with each plan. You will also be able to compare the plans side-by-side, which helps if you are deciding between a few different policies.

When you find the right plan, you can purchase online and get instant coverage

Finally, when you find a plan and are ready to purchase the policy, you can fill in your information, enter a credit card, and get instant coverage directly through the comparison site. Again, the comparison site is just like a travel agency. The policy costs the same whether you purchase through the comparison site or directly from the carrier.

Use a comparison website

Comparison engines makes shopping for travel insurance very easy. Their site gives travelers several ways to compare policies and find the right plan for you trip. When you find it, click the “buy” button to enter your credit card on the secure purchase page, and when you are done you will receive an email confirming your coverage (see How to Compare Quotes with a Travel Insurance Comparison Site)
