About us

We're not like other insurance companies. We're independent and proud of it. We think differently. We act differently. And we have done so since we launched Travel insurance in 1988. We were the first independent direct travel insurance provider in the UK. And we've been leading the way ever since.

As we have no stakeholders to please we are free to listen to our customers and build policies around them.

Customer satisfaction and value for money are the driving forces behind Columbus Direct and we pride ourselves on providing a quick, efficient and hassle-free service.

You can rest assured that by arranging your travel insurance through Columbus Direct you are dealing with a reputable company. We are authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority and also operate a claims charter. Our underwriter is a travel insurance specialist and a member of the Financial Ombudsman Scheme (FOS).
