Why Partner with Us?
Hotels and resorts can introduce travel insurance at key decision-making moments:
Simply complete our online Partner Registration Form. After signing the partner agreement, you’ll receive your referral link, brand assets, onboarding materials and access to our partner dashboard. You can be live within days, starting to offer travel insurance alongside your stay/tour bookings.
We believe in flexible partnerships. There is no hard minimum guest-volume requirement to start. We will review potential fit for scale and integration complexity, but many of our hotel/tour partners begin without long-term commitment and scale as they see results.
Unlike single-insurer models, our platform compares multiple plans in real time, offering greater choice and stronger coverage for guests. We also cater to cancellation-heavy destinations (CFAR), adventure/sport trips and international guest flows — giving you a stronger premium offer to enhance your revenue and guest experience.
The insurance claims are managed directly by the underwriters/insurers. Smarter Travel Insurance provides your guests with support channels and we remain as the partner point-of-contact. This means you offer high-quality guest service without becoming an insurance administrator.
Integration is flexible. You can launch with a referral link in 24-48 hours, or implement a widget/microsite within a week. We provide technical support, design assets and partner onboarding materials so your team can easily activate and promote the travel-insurance offering.
Yes. By facilitating travel-insurance purchase, guests are more protected from non-refundable costs and travel disruptions, which means fewer disputes or refunds you need to manage. In turn, you enhance your risk-profile and guest trust by offering an extra layer of protection.
Our platform connects to top global insurers offering a broad range of protection: trip-cancellation, “Cancel For Any Reason” (CFAR) options for travellers from 140+ countries, sports-and-adventure extension, business and leisure travel cover. This means whether your guest is staying at your resort for relaxation, surfing big waves or attending a business event, the insurance is appropriate.
Not necessarily. You can choose how you present the offering:
- A seamless quote-widget embedded on your booking page
- A branded referral link or email integration
- A white-label microsite co-branded with your property
Whatever the approach, the booking context remains your brand, and the insurance purchase happens in a friction-free way.
By offering travel-insurance options to your guests during booking or pre-travel communications, you can convert cancellations, changes and travel risks into value-added services. Our platform supports referral/refund models, white-label or iframe integrations, meaning you earn referral income while enhancing guest satisfaction. Studies show B2B travel-insurance partnerships lead to higher guest loyalty and incremental revenue.
We work with a wide range of hospitality partners — from luxury resorts, boutique hotels to adventure lodges offering global experiences. If you book guests, facilitate tours or arrange stays, we offer travel-insurance solutions that seamlessly integrate into your guest services.
