A stellar year for the Moneyfacts Travel Insurance Star Ratings 2022

Moneyfacts is pleased to announce the Moneyfacts Annual Star Ratings 2022 for Travel Insurance.

  • Following the volatility of previous years, this year the number of products has held against last year with an increase of just three products for annual insurance and a fall of two for single trip policies.
  • With the number of products relatively stable, the number of annual policy Five-Star Ratings has fallen by 19 and the number of single policies increased by five compared to 2021.
  • Over 110 fields of information per individual product were collected for the policies, including details of current COVID-19 cover.

The products awarded Five or Four-Star Ratings offer the most comprehensive range of standout features and competitive charges, which set them apart from the rest of the market.

The instantly recognisable Moneyfacts badge of quality has for over 30 years helped inform consumers comparing travel insurance. About nine out of 10 people agree that a Star Rating from an independent and impartial company could influence their decision in considering taking out a Financial Services product.* (*Source: Moneyfacts Group plc, Financial Services online consumer survey 4/21).

Samantha Owens, Star Ratings and Personal Finance Analytics Manager at Moneyfacts, said:

“With confidence in the travel market returning to normal and people jetting off abroad becoming common, more consumers will be looking to protect their long-awaited holidays against the worst happening. This is especially so in this time of rising costs when every penny counts.

“Again, this year, Moneyfacts has assessed the travel insurance market looking at the policies available. In a market of hundreds of products with an ever-expanding number of features to choose from, finding the best policy for each customer’s specific needs can prove challenging.

“The annual Moneyfacts Travel Insurance Star Ratings has taken some of the hard work out of this task by looking at those products currently available in the market and highlighting those that are the most complete, and have the widest range of features and most competitive limits. This allows customers to narrow their search, focusing their attention on the most suitable cover for them.”
