Editorial & Disclosure Policy
Trust is our most important asset. Here is how we maintain our editorial independence while keeping this service free for travelers.
How We Make Money
TravelInsureMe is an independent comparison service. We provide our guides, tools, and comparisons to travelers completely free of charge. To keep the lights on, we participate in affiliate programs.
When you click a link on our site, generate a quote, or purchase a policy through our partner Squaremouth, we may earn a referral commission from the insurance provider.
This comes at absolutely no extra cost to you. Insurance prices are strictly regulated by law, meaning the price you pay through our links is the exact same price you would pay if you bought directly from the insurer. There are no hidden markups.
Our Promise of Objectivity
Our editorial content, including our "Best Of" lists, guides, and reviews, is driven entirely by data and the needs of travelers.
- Insurance companies cannot pay us to artificially boost their ratings.
- Providers cannot pay to hide negative reviews or alter our editorial assessments.
- We only feature policies from highly-rated, financially stable underwriters.
How We Review Policies
When we recommend a specific type of coverage (like an Annual Plan or a Family Plan), our editorial team looks at several objective factors:
- Coverage Limits: Does the policy offer adequate Emergency Medical and Evacuation limits?
- Exclusions: Are the terms hidden in confusing fine print?
- Customer Service: Does the provider have a strong track record of actually paying out valid claims?
