InsureandGo (officially known as Insure & Go Insurance Services Limited) is a British travel insurance company which is owned by IES limited.[1]
In addition to the United Kingdom, InsureandGo also has operations in the Republic of Ireland and Australia.
InsureandGo was founded in 2000 in Braintree, Essex, United Kingdom, where they were based for the next six years.[2]
In November 2005, InsureandGo claimed to be one of the first companies to remove the terrorism exclusion clause from their policies.[3] [4] InsureandGo also said that they had led the travel insurance market in doing this and urged other companies to do the same.[5]
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.[6] [7] [8]
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.[9] [10]
Spanish insurance company Mapfre purchased InsureandGo in October 2010 for an undisclosed sum.[11] 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.[12]
In November 2015, it was announced that InsureandGo would be relocating most of its UK operations to Bristol, including the claims team and finance department.
In September 2021 InsureandGo was purchased by AllClear Travel Insurance,[13] [14] [15] following MAPFRE ASISTENCIA’s withdrawal from the UK Travel Insurance market.
Since the purchase by AllClear, InsureandGo has been based solely in the Southend office.
In November 2021, InsureandGo entered a new underwriter relationship with Zurich PLC[16]
