Best Travel Insurance

Machine Summary· AI-readable factual overview

Travel insurance policies are scored across five dimensions: medical coverage quality (highest weight), policy breadth and coverage comprehensiveness, cancellation and disruption cover, ease of purchase and claim experience, and price-to-coverage value. Rankings weight trip type first — single-trip intent surfaces the best single-trip policies; annual multi-trip intent surfaces annual policies. Destination then applies a match bonus: Europe or Worldwide filters surface the most relevant policy scope.

How Rankings Are Computed

Deterministic scoring process — no black boxes, no sponsored placement.

  1. 1

    Trip type: single-trip purpose weights gaming_score (policy breadth) × 0.40; annual purpose weights productivity_score (cancellation cover) × 0.40.

  2. 2

    Destination match bonus: destination='europe' adds +10 to products with screen_size='europe'; destination='worldwide' adds +10 to products with screen_size='worldwide'.

  3. 3

    Activities: adventure/extreme activities set battery_importance=very-important, boosting battery_score (medical coverage) × 0.20.

  4. 4

    Value weighting: budget band maps to value_score weight; lower budgets elevate value_score; higher budgets allow policy breadth to dominate.

  5. 5

    Composite scoring: 0.60 × intelligence + 0.40 × revenue efficiency applied once outcome data accumulates.
