Travelers Home Insurance Review Highlights
Travelers offers coverage options for homeowners, renters and landlords, along with discounts for bundling multiple policies.
A Travelers homeowners insurance policy covers damage caused to your dwelling, or other structures on your property, by risks such as fire, hail, lightning, wind and vandalism. Homeowners insurance can also cover personal property replacement costs, though there are limits on luxury items like jewelry, designer watches and furs. While damage from water backup or overflow due to plumbing problems is covered by Travelers homeowners insurance, damage from floods, earthquakes and other risks may require additional coverage.
Renters insurance from Travelers protects your furniture and personal possessions against losses such as fire, lightning, windstorms, hail, explosions, smoke and vandalism. A renters policy can also protect your property against vandalism and theft, whether it’s damaged or stolen from inside your rental or anywhere else in the world.
Travelers offers landlords protection for their rental properties (generally those with one to four units), as well as any other structures on the property, such as garages and sheds. It also covers the landlord’s personal property, like furniture and appliances, kept inside a rental unit. The cost of medical bills, property damage and loss of use after eligible incidents are covered, too.
Overall, homeowners, renters and landlord insurance policies from Travelers are solid options, especially if you’re looking to bundle coverage with a car insurance policy.
Bottom Line: Is Travelers a Good Insurance Company?

In addition to affordable auto insurance for all types of drivers, Travelers also offers coverage options for homeowners, marine vessels, weddings/special events, travel, and small businesses.
