Having launched over 30 years ago as the UK’s first online travel insurance provider, Columbus Direct was recognised for its exceptional product and customer service quality, as well as competitiveness of price and structure. After the first stage selection, the shortlisted companies were judged by a panel of readers, who mystery shopped each brand and benchmarked the quality of service provided.

We’re proud of our rich proposition, which covers over 150 sports and activities and includes airport lounge access for delays over an hour, five-day unlimited Wi-Fi and instant digital access to medical professionals.
This award is a testament to our commitment to provide peace of mind to travellers through an efficient and hassle-free service, and a reflection of our core values; to offer great value for money and outstanding service. We’ll continue innovating to meet our customers’ changing travel needs and expectations and offering exceptional products and customer service quality.”
