The Good

  • High Financial Strength Ratings
  • Competitive Coverage
  • Green Home Coverage
  • Discounts and Savings
  • Amazon Alexa Features

High Financial Strength Ratings

Travelers is a financially reliable insurance provider. It has stood the test of time and earned high financial strength ratings. 

Financial strength ratings indicate the likelihood that an insurance company will be able to meet its claims obligations, so it's important to choose an insurer with a high financial strength rating when you buy an insurance policy.

Travelers's high ratings make it competitive.

Competitive Coverage

Typical for the home insurance industry, Travelers offers loss of use, personal property, dwelling, other structures, and personal liability coverage with its homeowners insurance policies. You can add identity fraud coverage, water backup and sump pump discharge overflow, and special coverage for high value items to your homeowners policy. 

You can choose to cover your home and property at replacement cost value and even increase your replacement cost value coverage for your home.

Flood and earthquake insurance are sold as separate policies, which is typical for the industry.

Green Home Coverage

Travelers stands out from other insurers because it offers green home coverage. With this additional coverage, you receive extra protection for repairing, replacing, or rebuilding with green materials in the event of a covered loss. 

Sustainability and being conscious of the environment are becoming more important to consumers, so this offering makes Travelers a good option if you're concerned about sustainability and the environment.

Discounts and Savings

Travelers offers discounts typical to the industry, including the following:

  • Multi-policy
  • Home buyer (purchased home within 12 months)
  • Loss-free (no losses in a set time period)
  • Protective device

These discounts allow you to save on your insurance premium. 

Travelers stands out from other insurers and shows its commitment to sustainability and the environment again by offering a green home discount on homes with a "green home" certification from the Leadership Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) organization.

Amazon Alexa Features

Travelers clients can also benefit from home maintenance tips and manage their insurance policy through Amazon Alexa. To enable these features, visit Travelers website.

This is a unique offering, which sets Travelers apart from other home insurers.

The Bad

  • Limited Customer Reviews
  • No Branded Policy Features

Limited Customer Reviews

Best Company has not received many Travelers home insurance reviews. While it's a good sign that these customer reviews are mostly positive, more customer insight is necessary before reaching general conclusions about customer satisfaction.

No Branded Policy Features

Some home insurance companies offer branded policy features. Travelers does not. If you're set on a home insurer's branded feature, you may want to stick with that company. 

Often branded insurance coverage or policy features are versions or expansions of typical homeowners insurance coverage options. You may be able to work with Travelers to find comparable coverage.

The Bottom Line

Although more insight on the customer experience is necessary, Travelers is a reliable home insurance carrier. It has many years of industry experience and has earned high financial strength ratings.

You'll find a competitive home insurance product from Travelers. What sets Travelers's home insurance apart from competitors is its green home coverage and green home discount. The insurer may be a particularly good fit if you're an environmentally conscious homeowner.

Travelers Insurance is my current insurer (3 years). I have found them to be excellent. Near the end of the first year we had an overflowing toilet that caused water damage and mold to three bedrooms and both bathrooms. I called customer service to report the damage and within minutes I was contacted by an adjuster who came out three days later He wrote a check and assured me that if further damage was found that it would be covered. The reimbursement was accepted by the home restoration company that did all the work. Overall I am highly pleased with Travelers Insurance .

First time I had this happen. Travelers is the obly company that would insure my 18 year old grandson for a affordable rate. I am really pleased to be with Travelers!!

They have been very easy to deal with. We had a claim last year when a plumber flooded our house, and while the repair process was slower than I would have liked, the fact is they gave me a very fair price for all the work (we paid a bit extra for some minor improvements), and they even covered the cost of asbestos abatement as we discovered that our original flooring contained asbestos.

I've had Travelers insurance for about two years and I have never had an issue. The agent was super helpful when explaining the different coverages to me and customizing a plan that fitted my budget. I would definitely recommend Travelers. When I did have an issue with my homeowner insurance the agent was extremely helpful and efficient in resolving my issue.

My previous insurance was with a huge insurer. And it was thru my Union so I believed I had great insurance. I didn't even have good insurance. Today I am with Travelers where my deductibles are $500, at my old insurance company they were $1000.00, And I didn't have half the coverage I do now for half the price. I had called several other insurers before deciding on Travelers and I don't see myself ever changing.

I have used Travelers Insurance for home insurance and found both their pricing and customer service to be excellent. My home had hail damage from a storm and Travelers authorized my roof to be replaced with no hassle or delay. My policy covered everything minus my deductible. The entire process took less than two weeks from start to finish.

I've been using Travelers for over a year and have nothing but good things to say about it. The customer service I received was excellent and the claims process was super smooth and easy. The rates are also incredibly competitive compared to other providers, so they really stand out in that regard. I highly recommend Travelers!

Travelers Insurance is prompt in taking care of issues that arise. When a storm ruined our roof, Travelers sent an inspector to check out the situation. We were pleased with how quickly the process of roof replacement could begin. We have never been unhappy or disappointed when dealing with Travelers. We highly recommend this insurance company.

I found Travelers Insurance through a local Insurance broker and recently had them research other companies to see if I could get a lower rate than what I am currently paying. Of course, they were the lowest by $1,000. I have had 2 non fault accidents and I was extremely impressed with the way Travelers took care of the insurance claim.

Our home is over 100 years old. We had trouble finding someone to insure a home of this age. We have been very pleased with Travelers home insurance for over 10 years. Rates are very good.

Travelers offered me a better deal than my previous insurance company, so I went with them this last time. I had to contact them once, and their customer service people are very good at handling my questions.

We have had our home insurance at Travelers for years with no issue. They are always the most cost-effective for the same coverage elsewhere. We've had no claims (fingers crossed), so I can't comment on that part.
