What We Do : VisitorsCoverage is an Insurtech company, located in the heart of Silicon Valley, revolutionizing the way travelers search, compare, purchase, and manage their travel insurance.

We are a team of people who counter the thought that insurance is boring and love the challenge of delighting our users at every step of their decision-making process.
