In fact, the people at Squaremouth.com say that when travelers looking for insurance find seemingly better coverage for a lower price, they aren't dreaming. It is what is called the “sweet spot” for the plan they have found.

Basically, travel insurance companies all have what they consider to be an ideal customer, but the criteria for what they consider to be ideal is generally different between the different companies. If you are that “ideal” customer, then you may qualify for their very best rates, which is why the cost is so low and why shopping around is so important, between different companies and between the plans offered by any one company.

The key is to ensure that the coverage is from a reputable insurance carrier and that any agents involved in the deal are also reputable. Squaremouth has a Zero Complaint Guarantee, which will ensure that customers will have Squaremouth's help should the need for a mediator arise. If an insurance carrier is being unfair, then they will be removed from the Squaremouth website.
