InsureandGo (officially known as Insure & Go Insurance Services Limited) is a British travel insurance company which is owned by AllClear Insurance.

As well as the United Kingdom, InsureandGo also has operations in the Republic of Ireland and Australia.

In 2018, InsureandGo reported providing 3.1 million travel insurance policies to UK customers, an increase of 1 million over the previous year.

History

InsureandGo was founded in 2000 in Braintree, Essex, United Kingdom, where they were based for the next six years.

In November 2005, InsureandGo claimed to be one of the first companies to remove the terrorism exclusion clause from their policies. InsureandGo also said that they had led the travel insurance market in doing this and urged other companies to do the same.

Due to the company's expansion, InsureandGo relocated to new offices in Southend-on-Sea in 2006. The company had bought Southend-based Travel Claims Services in September of the previous year.

In December 2006, InsureandGo hired chartered accountants BDO Stoy Hayward to explore its options, including the possibility of selling the company for a reported £100 million.

In November 2015, it was announced that InsureandGo would be relocating most of its UK operations to Bristol.

International Expansion

In early 2010, InsureandGo launched a range of travel insurance products for Australia. In October 2011, InsureandGo launched in the Republic of Ireland.

Purchase by Mapfre

Spanish insurance company Mapfre purchased InsureandGo in October 2010 for an undisclosed sum. InsureandGo was then a wholly owned subsidiary of MAPFRE Asistencia Compañia Internacional de Seguros y Reaseguros Sociedad Anonima, which forms part of the MAPFRE Group.
