Who is NOW travel insurance?

NOW Travel Insurance was set up in 2014 to sell travel insurance in a quick, simple and transparent way.

As a budget travel insurance provider, NOW Travel Insurance aims to give value for money. They do this by structuring their travel insurance so people don’t have to pay for high levels of cover they don't need.

NOW continuously checks its premiums against other budget travel insurance providers to maintain its competitive price points.

NOW urges customers to select a policy from its range that meets their basic needs first. For example, making sure the cancellation benefit you choose is enough to cover the cost of your holiday and the excess on claims is affordable.

NOW Travel Insurance is based in Salisbury, Wiltshire and is owned by the Tedaisy Insurance Group.
