What Is Squaremouth and What Does It Do?
Updated
Squaremouth is a travel insurance comparison marketplace: you enter your trip details, compare quotes from 20+ insurance companies in one place, and can buy a plan online. It is useful if you want to compare multiple insurers side by side rather than requesting quotes one by one. The site also lists plan types by trip need and by destination, and offers phone help from a travel expert.
How the comparison process works
- Enter your trip details — the site asks for information about your trip so it can generate relevant quotes.
- Compare quotes — the tool returns plans from multiple insurers so you can evaluate them on the same screen.
- Buy online — Squaremouth states that you can purchase plans through the site at the lowest possible price.
The site describes the process as “Quote, Compare, and Purchase Travel Insurance,” and offers a free quote as the starting point.
Plan types you can compare
Squaremouth organizes plans by type and by destination. The plan categories listed on the site include:
| Category | What it covers (as named by Squaremouth) |
|---|---|
| Comprehensive Travel Insurance | General trip protection |
| Annual Travel Insurance | Coverage for multiple trips over a year |
| Cruise Insurance | Cruise-specific trips |
| Adventure & Sports Travel Insurance | Trips involving adventure activities |
| Medical Travel Insurance | Medical-focused coverage |
| Flight Insurance | Flight-related protection |
| Group Travel Insurance | Groups traveling together |
| International Travel Insurance | Trips outside your home country |
| Family Travel Insurance | Coverage for families |
You can also browse plans by destination (for example Mexico, Italy, Japan, Canada) and by benefit type — cancellation and interruption, medical, delay and luggage, and other benefits.
What coverage areas are represented
The site groups benefits into four areas, which helps you decide what to compare:
- Cancellation & interruption — trip cancellation, trip interruption, severe weather and natural disaster, Cancel For Any Reason, Interruption For Any Reason.
- Medical — emergency medical, medical evacuation and repatriation, pre-existing condition, medical deductible, co-insurance, home country coverage.
- Delay & luggage — trip delay, baggage and personal items (delay and loss), missed connection, extension of coverage.
- Other benefits — including sports and activities coverage.
Who it is for
Squaremouth fits you if you want a single place to compare travel insurance options across many insurers and then buy online. It is less about a single insurer's product and more about side-by-side comparison. If you already know the exact plan you want from one provider, the comparison step adds less value.
Practical notes
- The site lists a phone line for travel experts (1-800-240-0369, 8AM–10PM ET daily) if you want help before buying.
- Provider reviews are available for insurers such as Tin Leg, Travel Insured, IMG, Seven Corners, Trawick International, WorldTrips, Travelex, Aegis, and Berkshire Hathaway.
- Pricing and login requirements are not specified in the available site information, so confirm final costs and account requirements during the quote process.
