Squaremouth is a travel insurance comparison site in the United States. It’s a name that very few Canadians have heard of.

Based in Saint Petersburg, Florida, Squaremouth is rated on the Better Business Bureau website here.

Like Kanetix.ca, Squaremouth does not offer travel insurance directly. It is a travel insurance search engine that will let you get quotes from 129 different plans, and compare policies in detail.

Advantages

  • Wide range of insurers
  • Filters that make quotes highly customizable. For example, you can search for a policy that provides over $1,000,000 of coverage, with under a $100 deductible, that covers pre-existing conditions, and that allows cancellation for any reason.
  • Zero complaint policy. Squaremouth says they will remove a provider from their website if a customer has a problem that can’t be resolved to Squaremouth’s satisfaction.

Disadvantages

  • The name. Some people love it, and some don’t. They named Squaremouth after the shape of their CEO’s son’s mouth when he cried.
  • Most Canadians aren’t familiar with the brand.
