The True Traveller was set up in 2010 by three travellers who first met each other when they all worked for a very well-known travel company in Earls Court, London in the late 1980’s. All three eventually went their separate ways but came back together to set up The True Traveller which was again a travel company specialising in adventure holidays.
At the time of setting up the holiday company, they knew the importance of having really good insurance, as if you’re travelling to Mera Peak in Nepal or travelling overland through Africa, your average high street insurance may not be sufficient. So, as well as doing the adventure holidays, they also set up their own insurance scheme.
Time went on, and the demand for the travel insurance by far exceeded the demand for the holidays, so in 2012 the insurance side was split from the original website to sit on its own dedicated website. The insurance side grew and grew so the decision was made to close down the holiday side of The True Traveller in 2014.
So, essentially we’re travel people who just happen now to be insurance people, but we think of ourselves as travellers. That’s why we called the company The True Traveller, and that’s why our strapline is “Travel Insurance designed by travellers”.
