A stellar year for the Moneyfacts Travel Insurance Star Ratings 2024

Moneyfacts is pleased to announce the Moneyfacts Star Ratings 2024 for Travel Insurance.

  • For 2024 the number of policies that achieved a five-star stands at 169 for annual policies and 165 for single trip policies, with 118 annual policies achieving a four-star and 112 for single trip policies.
  • The number of products assessed has risen, with 18 additional annual policies and 23 single trip policies.
  • With the increase in the number of products, the number of annual policy Five-Star Ratings has increased by 12 and the number of single policies increased by one compared to 2023.
  • Over 100 fields of information per individual product were collected for the policies.

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

Moneyfacts has been analysing data for more than 35 years, with the instantly recognisable Moneyfacts badge of quality helping inform consumers when comparing Travel Insurance.

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, Star Ratings survey 11/2022-1/2023).

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

“Ensuring customers have the most appropriate and comprehensive cover can often be difficult to decipher, with many missing out on better cover. Again, this year, Moneyfacts has assessed the travel insurance market looking at the hundreds of products to choose from.

“The annual Moneyfacts Travel Insurance Star Ratings takes away some of the hard work by highlighting those that 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, especially so in this time of rising costs when every penny counts.”
