InsureandGo (officially known as Insure & Go Insurance Services Limited) is a British travel insurance company which is owned by MAPFRE ASISTENCIA.
As well as the United Kingdom, InsureandGo also has operations in the Republic of Ireland and Australia.
In 2014, InsureandGo reported providing two million travel insurance policies to UK customers.
InsureandGo was founded in 2000 in Braintree, Essex, United Kingdom, where they were based for the next six years.
In November 2005, InsureandGo claimed to be one of the first companies to remove the terrorism exclusion clause from their policies. InsureandGo also said that they had led the travel insurance market in doing this and urged other companies to do the same.
Due to the company's expansion, InsureandGo relocated to new offices in Southend-on-Sea in 2006, with the effect of bringing new jobs to the area. The company had bought Southend-based Travel Claims Services in September of the previous year.
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.
In August 2009, InsureandGo began giving customers the chance to offset their carbon emissions when they purchase a travel insurance policy. The company launched a new product called Travel Dispute Cover in early 2010. The cover, which could be purchased in addition to one of InsureandGo's travel insurance policies, provided legal assistance to travellers who had a contract breached by their tour operators, travel agents or hoteliers.
In May 2013, InsureandGo sponsored a one-day event in London called 'The World on Regent Street'. The event included activities and displays from a range of different countries, including China, Argentina, Trinidad and Tobago and Turkey.
During the summer of 2014, InsureandGo gave away free ice cream at London's Canary Wharf and the South Bank as part of its 'Around the World in 80 Scoops' event. The ice cream was manufactured by Southend-based Rossi Ice Cream, and featured strange flavours which had been inspired by different countries.
