Travelers Home Insurance Review

Travelers Home Insurance

Travelers Insurance is one of the largest insurance companies in the country based on revenue and market value. The company offers a variety of discounts including installing protective devices, newly built and renovated homes, as well as multiple policies. Travelers discounts and policy options are pretty standard for the industry, but one major area of concern is the price of their premiums... quite high compared to competitors.

Financial Ratings

Travelers Home Insurance is backed by 150 years of experience and is a leading property casualty provider in the country. It also operates in Canada, Ireland, Brazil and the UK. The company enjoys good ratings with all the major ratings agencies, A.M. Best, Fitch, Standard and Poor's and Moody's.

Bottom Line

It’s quite surprising that such a big company would not include perils or coverage for properties such as mobile home and older homes. The company also does not allow you to purchase online. You can get quotes but will eventually have to be shuffled to an agent. However, Travelers does come on top with its solid financial ratings. Home insurance is one of the biggest and long running purchases a person will make, so it makes sense to know your company will be able to meet its obligations far into the future. For such a large and consequential financial decision, you might want to count on the security and stability provided by an industry leader that has been around forever.
