Why choose Travelex

Headquartered in Omaha, NE, Travelex Insurance Services (TIS) was founded in 1996 when the Travelex Group purchased the travel insurance distribution services of Mutual of Omaha Companies. Not only do they offer simple, yet inclusive insurance plans for customers, their relationship-driven approach and superior customer service has been recognized by industry leaders. The strength of the TIS brand, their reputation and services have been recognized in the United States as a leader in the travel insurance industry.

​

Establishing themselves as an innovator, TIS introduced the pre-existing medical condition waiver—a breakthrough in enhanced travel insurance for the consumer. Travelex was also an industry leader with the inclusion of features such as covering children at no additional cost and including key-person coverage for non-traditional families.

​

In 2016 Travelex Insurance Services was acquired by Cover-More Group which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zurich Insurance Group, Australia’s largest travel insurance, medical assistance and employee assistance provider. The group is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: CVO). Cover-More has the leading market position in Australia, Brazil, Argentina, Ireland, New Zealand, and in the U.S. TIS continues to expand and take the lead in innovation by making their products and services available to more customers than ever before.
