PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
Voyager Insurance Services Ltd purchases successful Travel Insurance broker Navigator Travel Insurance.
[Guildford, UK 21/02/2022]
Award-winning broker Voyager Insurance Services Ltd. successfully completed the purchase of well-known travel insurance broker Navigator Travel Insurance on the 1st of February 2024. Over the past 20 years the Navigator Travel Insurance brand has become synonymous with those who are looking to acquire cover for something a little bit different whilst on their travels, whether that be playing polo in Argentina, riding a motorbike across the USA, or those people who are looking to work while they are backpacking abroad. After 20 years of dedicated service, the owners of Navigator Travel Insurance have decided to retire. Voyager Insurance Services Ltd. was established in 1996 with the express aim of providing specialist travel insurance products for their clients. During this time, Voyager Insurance has provided products on a wholesale basis, for brokers and affiliates, together with a portfolio of products that are available for direct purchase by members of the public. Navigator Travel Insurance had worked with Voyager Insurance for many years drawing on our expertise to source many of the specialist products and covers that Navigator's customers were looking for. Voyager Insurance also provided Navigator with their online quote and buy system, allowing them to provide quotes for their customers and provide accessible links through which their customers could purchase policies. Steve Cox, Managing Director of Voyager Insurance Services Ltd. stated ‘The acquisition of Navigator Insurance Services is an exciting development for Voyager Insurance Services and will help us maintain our position at the forefront of travel insurance solution development. Many customers struggle to find the appropriate travel cover to meet their specific needs and this is where we come in, providing innovative solutions and the appropriate cover for each niche requirement.' Cox continued ‘There are some positive synergies between the two companies, given how closely we have worked together over the years, so it made absolute sense for us to acquire Navigator when we learned of Richard and Yvonne's desire to retire. The pair have worked tirelessly for their customers over the last two decades, and we wish them an enjoyable retirement.' With the sale completed on the 1st of February 2024, Voyager Insurance took over the Navigator Travel Insurance business bringing the existing operation into its Guildford office, ensuring seamless customer service.

- Insurance brokers can access, and in most cases, sell Voyager's wholesale products through Voyager's online quote and buy platform called WEBroker. This platform provides brokers with an easy-to-use internet-based dashboard interface through which to quote and sell policies to their customers. Policy documents are automatically issued to customers directly and renewals can be managed on-screen. If desired, a link to the broker's website enables customers to buy online easily so this makes the product available 24 hours a day whilst maintaining the customer relationship with the broker.
