MoneySuperMarket reviews for travel insurance need a different starting question than an insurer review does, because it doesn’t sell travel insurance itself. It compares quotes from 63 UK providers and lets you buy the one you pick. Its own travel insurance page carries a 4.9 out of 5 rating from 175 Trustpilot write-ups, and it advertises quotes from 92p a day. It also cites a YouGov survey naming it the UK’s most-recommended comparison site. This guide checks that evidence against other independent sources too, and the one thing worth knowing before you buy on price alone.
| What you get | The detail |
|---|---|
| What it is | A comparison site, not an insurer |
| Panel size | 63 UK providers |
| Insurance-page reviews | 4.9/5 from 175 reviews |
| If you buy | Protection sits with the insurer, not MoneySuperMarket |
MoneySuperMarket reviews: the short answer
Read the ratings the same way you would for any insurer here: separate the whole-business score from the one that’s actually about travel insurance. MoneySuperMarket’s general Trustpilot profile, blended across car, home, energy and every other product it compares, sits at 4.8 out of 5 from more than 60,000 write-ups. Its travel insurance page carries its own, narrower Trustpilot widget: 4.9 out of 5 from 175 responses. That’s a small sample next to the company-wide figure, but it’s the one that’s actually about the product you’re comparing.

Checking the evidence beyond Trustpilot
One platform’s rating isn’t the whole picture, even a strong one. MoneySuperMarket’s company-wide Trustpilot profile breaks down as 87% five-star, 8% four-star, 1% three-star, under 1% two-star and 3% one-star, across more than 60,000 reviews. That’s a strong spread, but the 3% one-star tail is still around 1,800 people. Trustpilot’s own review summary flags two recurring friction points too: some reviewers find the detailed forms tedious, and a few found the SuperSaveClub reward fiddly to redeem.
| Platform | Score | Sample |
|---|---|---|
| Trustpilot, company-wide | 4.8/5 | |
| Trustpilot, travel insurance page | 4.9/5 | |
| Smart Money People, insurance broker | 4.23/5 |
One real independent signal beyond star ratings: MoneySuperMarket’s travel insurance comparison runs in partnership with Which?, the UK consumer body. It assesses policies across more than 120 areas of cover, including medical expenses, repatriation, cancellation, baggage and claims handling. That’s a check on the policies in the panel itself, not just on MoneySuperMarket’s own service, and it doesn’t replace reading the individual insurer’s own reviews once you’ve picked a quote.
The comparison itself works in three steps. You enter your destination, dates, trip cost and traveller details, including any medical conditions to declare. MoneySuperMarket then checks its panel and returns quotes ranked by price. You pick a policy and buy it from the insurer directly. Its own page states it compares 63 UK providers, and shows logos for recognisable brands including Post Office, Admiral, Sainsbury’s, RAC, Tesco and Holiday Extras alongside smaller specialist names.
“MoneySuperMarket doesn’t insure a single trip itself, and that’s worth remembering before you buy on the cheapest quote alone. It’s comparing 63 insurers’ prices, not vouching for their claims service. Read the reviews for whichever underwriter actually wins your quote, not just MoneySuperMarket’s own. The comparison is the easy part. Picking who genuinely pays out isn’t.”

Is your money protected if you buy through MoneySuperMarket?
Yes, but the protection comes from whichever insurer you choose, not from MoneySuperMarket. It’s a comparison broker, regulated to arrange insurance in the UK, and it doesn’t carry the risk on any policy sold through it. If the underwriter you picked from the panel ever failed, your protection would come from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, the same safety net that stands behind Staysure, Avanti and Holiday Extras, covering 90% of a valid claim with no upper limit. That protection exists because of the insurer you chose, so it’s worth checking who’s actually underwriting your policy before you buy.
What MoneySuperMarket’s own price examples show
| Traveller profile | Typical price | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Aged 18-49 | From around £30.79 | |
| Aged 75-79 | More than £101 | |
| Declared medical condition | From £4.99, averaging £21.94 |
UK insurers paid out £472 million across more than 500,000 travel insurance claims in 2024, according to the Association of British Insurers, with medical costs making up over a third of that total and averaging £1,528 a claim. That’s the real-world reason a 92p headline price shouldn’t be the only thing that decides which quote you pick.
The “most recommended” claim, checked
MoneySuperMarket’s “UK’s most recommended” claim traces to a specific YouGov survey. Run July 2024 to June 2025, it asked each comparison site’s own current customers whether they’d recommend it or warn a friend away. MoneySuperMarket’s sample was the largest of the five tested: 18,382 customers, against Compare the Market’s 16,802, GoCompare’s 10,162, Confused.com’s 8,229 and Uswitch’s 528. It’s a real, disclosed methodology. It’s also a survey MoneySuperMarket presents on its own site, so read the claim as its own customers rating it highly, not as independent proof.
Pre-existing medical conditions
You can still get cover, but declare every condition through a short medical questionnaire at quote stage. Specialist insurers on the panel often cover diabetes, asthma or a cancer diagnosis. Declaring a condition usually raises the premium. Failing to declare one can invalidate the whole policy, not just the part connected to it. MoneySuperMarket’s own figures put medical cover from around £4.99, averaging £21.94. The real price depends entirely on the condition and which specialist insurer it’s matched to.
The SuperSaveClub reward, and the one thing to watch
Buying a qualifying product through MoneySuperMarket earns a reward through its SuperSaveClub scheme, redeemable against gift cards. The cap is up to £130 a year across everything you buy this way. That’s a welcome extra, not a reason to pick one quote over another. The bigger thing to watch is the size of the panel itself. 63 UK providers is a wide net, and the cheapest name on that list won’t always be one you recognise. That’s true of every comparison site, not just this one. Check who’s actually underwriting a strikingly cheap policy before you buy it.
Should you use MoneySuperMarket for travel insurance?
Consider it if you want a wide range of quotes from recognisable UK insurers in one place. The evidence holds up across several independent sources, not just its own page, and it also holds the largest customer sample in its own “most recommended” survey. The trade-off is that MoneySuperMarket doesn’t stand behind any policy itself. Your actual protection, and your claims experience, depends entirely on which of the 63 providers you pick, not on the comparison site itself. Use the comparison to find the field, then check the insurer on its own terms. To compare current quotes, visit MoneySuperMarket directly.
Frequently asked questions
Is MoneySuperMarket good for travel insurance?
Yes, on the evidence across several sources, not just one. Its travel insurance page rates 4.9 out of 5 from 175 Trustpilot reviews, a bit ahead of Smart Money People’s smaller independent sample (4.23), and its comparison runs in partnership with Which?, which assesses the panel’s policies directly.
Does MoneySuperMarket sell its own travel insurance?
No. It compares quotes from 63 UK providers and you buy directly from whichever one you choose. MoneySuperMarket doesn’t underwrite or pay out on any policy itself.
Is MoneySuperMarket regulated?
Yes, it’s regulated to arrange insurance in the UK. It doesn’t carry the risk on any policy sold through it, so your protection if an insurer fails comes from the underwriter you picked, not from MoneySuperMarket.
How many insurers does MoneySuperMarket compare for travel insurance?
63, according to MoneySuperMarket’s own published figure. The panel includes recognisable names like Post Office, Admiral, Sainsbury’s, RAC, Tesco and Holiday Extras, alongside smaller specialist insurers.
Can I get travel insurance through MoneySuperMarket with a pre-existing medical condition?
Yes, if you declare it accurately through the medical questionnaire at quote stage. Specialist insurers on the panel often cover conditions like diabetes or asthma, though the premium and terms depend on the condition itself.
Does travel insurance bought through MoneySuperMarket cover COVID-19?
Only if the specific policy you choose from the panel includes it, since MoneySuperMarket doesn’t set policy terms itself. Check the individual policy wording for COVID-19 and pandemic exclusions before you buy.
What’s the SuperSaveClub reward for buying travel insurance through MoneySuperMarket?
Qualifying purchases earn a reward redeemable against gift cards, capped at up to £130 a year across everything bought through the scheme. It’s a welcome bonus, but not a reason to pick one insurer over another.
