10 Travel Insurance Affiliate Programs

10 Travel Insurance Affiliate Programs

Hello there Sea Changers. Welcome back to my series of program lists to assist those of you looking to fund your sea change with affiliate marketing. Today we are going to continue our breakdown of the insurance niche with my 10 travel insurance affiliate programs to stow away this year. This post has come about from a recent one I did covering insurance programs as whole where it quickly became evident that there is so much to choose from within this niche that I have had to expand on every example I had included.

So for those looking to specialise within the travel insurance market, or add to any other travel related niche, let’s check out what I have found.

Before we begin however, I am conscious that there are a number of different areas or sub niches within this subject hence the quantity of affiliate programs to choose from may be just as large. So how have I picked my best 10? Well… I really just wanted to give you a good cross section of what is out there so I did some searching around and checked a few out and chose them by looking at:

  • What they offer
  • Commission rates
  • Payment terms
  • Cookie duration
  • Application processes
  • Affiliate/Marketing materials provided

Before we start however, let’s have a look at what I mean by the term ‘travel insurance’ and how it can be incorporated within an affiliate marketing website…

What do we mean by Travel Insurance?

Most of us know insurance as that little bit of peace of mind when it comes to protecting ourselves and our valuables. And in this case we are discussing the protection of our travel. Granted this may be a little less appealing given current world events at time of writing, however once things pick up again then this will surely return to become a boom market.

So as we start to check out our travel insurance affiliate program options we can consider the following coverage options:

  • Hotel and Flight cancellation
  • Trip cancellation
  • Lost luggage
  • Emergency and Medical
  • Theft
  • Lost cash
  • Rental car
  • And so on

And as with most other insurance based companies in recent times, many within this niche have not only taken their business online but also added extras such as loyalty programs, extra options and increased travel information and tips too.

Legalities and Financial Implications

Before we begin however, there are a couple of things I just wanted to to cover. Firstly it should be highlighted that legalities around the sale of insurance policies vary substantially from country to country or state to state. Secondly, by nature, the acquisition of an insurance policy can place users into a contracted arrangement in which policy payments must be made in accordance with contract outlines and inclusions.

So if you are looking at this from an affiliate marketing point of view, great care must be given as to whether you could be construed as giving actual financial or insurance advice or not as many countries also regulate those who are legally able to do so. With all that in mind then, the list of affiliate programs below is provided on a factual basis only and due diligence should be undertaken in regards to their jurisdictional legalities prior to applying. They are also not provided with any advice in regards to the acquisition or use of these insurance policies.

So, now that that is all out the way… Let’s check out the 10 I have found below:

How to find your own affiliate programs

As stated earlier, by outlining the sites above I have really just tried to give you a good cross section of the types of programs that are out there by listing the really good ones in each ‘category’. That does not mean that you cannot find affiliate programs that better suit what it is that you are trying to do within this space especially as I could never even begin to cover every travel insurance related requirement or sub niche in the one post. Luckily for us, there is a simple way to find these programs online.

All you need to do is enter “affiliate: niche type” into your search engine (substituting ‘niche type‘ for whatever product it is that you are choosing to sell).

travel insurance affiliate programs - Affiliate programs

There are insurance affiliate programs for everything else that we have listed at the top of this page as well – you will just need to have a look around until you find one or two that suit your site. Once you have completed your searches, you can look through and find programs that:

  • Relate to your niche/problems that you are solving.
  • Have quality products – your brand can be severely damaged if you promote poor quality or untrustworthy products.
  • Have solid payment and customer service arrangement.
  • Pay decent commissions.
  • Have good testimonials covering commission payouts and quality of product.

In most cases, you will need to apply for the program before you are allowed to promote their products – don’t take this step lightly or you will be rejected. Affiliate programs will generally want to know:

  • Your website name.
  • Traffic levels.
  • Why you want to join – (so I can make money by selling your insurance stuff is unfortunately not generally a good enough answer).
  • How you plan to promote their products.

Conclusion

So… There are 10 of the best travel insurance affiliate programs to stow away this year. I hope it has been helpful for you as you commence your own insurance based affiliate marketing business and as usual, please do not hesitate to comment below if you have any questions, need some advice or have any experiences to share. Oh, and especially comment if you have any experience with these, or any other programs as well.

Until next time

Have fun
