InsureMyTrip In The News: Kiplinger

Sep 24th, 2012

A recent article from Kiplinger names the top 15 sites to save money on your travels. From vacation packages and hotels to currency converters and travel insurance, you’re bound to pick up some useful tips and helpful information.  InsureMyTrip.com is mentioned as a smart way to save money on travel insurance, due largely to two factors: 1) Our site allows you to compare policies from multiple companies, and purchase the level of coverage that’s right for you; and 2) If you’re caught up in an unexpected event that compromises your travel plans, you could end up spending additional money to resolve the issue if you don’t have a travel insurance policy.  In particular, the Kiplinger article points out that travel insurance bought through a cruise line or agency may not be a good deal even if it seems to be cheaper, because of markups, restrictions, and lower coverage levels than could be found through InsureMyTrip.

 

InsureMyTrip’s ‘Ratings & Reviews’ Turns 10,000!

Sep 19th, 2012

WARWICK, RI, September 19, 2012—When InsureMyTrip.com, the leading online travel insurance comparison site launched its revolutionary Ratings & Reviews (R&R) insurance feature last summer, it was the start of something big. With R&R in place, InsureMyTrip became the first-ever customer-integrated travel insurance buying platform on the web today. It was a notable advancement for InsureMyTrip and a major advantage for our customers. A year later, InsureMyTrip is celebrating another exciting milestone achievement: the 10,000th Ratings & Reviews customer entry.

“When we launched Ratings & Reviews a year ago, our goal was to create a trusted space for our customers to share and compare their travel insurance experiences,” explains Jim Grace, President and CEO of InsureMyTrip. “Ten thousand reviews later, R&R has become so much more; it is a community of travelers for travelers seeking and offering unbiased opinions and honest impressions of travel protection products.”

Ratings & Reviews provides a unique lens on the travel insurance marketplace not available on any other site by offering an exclusive space for travelers to have an open dialogue and information exchange with a community of protection-conscious peers like themselves.  “Now for example, traveler Christine from Des Moines, Iowa, and the author of the 10,000th R&R review can share what she thinks about the package policy she purchased for a recent trip to Peru. “Thanks to Christine and all the members of the R&R community, InsureMyTrip customers can count themselves among the most well-informed and confident travel insurance buyers in the world,” says Grace.

“Every one of the 9,999 entries leading up to this moment are responsible for building the foundation that makes R&R the incredible resource that it is and will continue to be,” explains Grace,  “but we’d be remiss if we didn’t honor the 10,000th milestone in a special way. To celebrate and say ‘thank you’ to Christine for her input and support of Ratings & Reviews, we’re sending her and a companion to the Ten Thousand Waves Japanese Spa & Resort in Santa Fe, New Mexico for a different kind of R&R,” jokes Grace.

“We’re delighted to be a part of this celebration event of 10,000 reviews,” adds Deborah Fleig, Director of Ten Thousand Waves Tours. “Much like the Ten Thousand Waves Japanese Spa & Resort, InsureMyTrip’s Ratings & Reviews feature is about helping others and creating a unique experience. We always recommend all of the travelers who join our Japanese Hot Springs Tours buy their insurance through InsureMyTrip.com —-as do we each time we venture away from Santa Fe.”

At InsureMyTrip.com you can also rate, compare, analyze and purchase travel insurance from all the leading U.S. travel insurance companies in a completely secure environment, or call (800) 487-4722 to speak with a licensed travel insurance professional. Whether you simply need one question answered or want step-by-step assistance selecting coverage that’s right for you, InsureMyTrip’s expert Customer Care representatives are available to help seven days a week, 365 days a year.
