Protecting against loss for more than 160 years
Travelers insurance was formed from two separate companies, the St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Co. established in 1853 and Travelers Insurance Co. founded in 1864. As the name implies, Travelers insured people who were traveling by train or steamboat at a time when such travel less safe and reliable. In 1866, Travelers expanded to include all types of accidents, not just those that occurred when traveling.
The united companies have issued some impressive firsts – the first policy on the automobile in 1897, as well as the first policy for space travel in 1969. The two companies had been writing policies for nearly 100 years before some of its competitors even entered the market. They merged into one in 2004 under the name was the St. Paul Travelers Companies. Three years later, it changed its name to The Travelers Companies.
Today, Travelers has large offices in Hartford, Conn., New York City and St. Paul, Minn.

-Age 53+, Georgia"My most recent claim was for a bullet hole in the driver's door of my SUV. I live in a quiet area, park in an assigned space only a few feet from my front door and do not engage in any risky, nefarious or illegal activities. I heard what I thought were rather loud firecrackers in the wee hours one morning and discovered later that day, they had actually been gunshots. My car had a large bullet hole slightly forward of the handle in the driver's door and the window was a spider web of cracks because the bullet had gone through the lower edge, even though the window was rolled up. I was afraid no one at Travelers would believe me when I called to report it, but they were great. This happened on a Sunday, but by 9:01 a.m. the following morning the claims adjuster called. He was very professional and understanding. He asked if I knew where I wanted the repair done and when I gave the name of a body shop, he said he was familiar with it and would have them send a tow truck for the car because I was afraid opening and closing the door might cause the window to fall apart. He got my rental car and said he would appraise the damage that day at the shop. He called that afternoon, gave me the amount, had a check sent to the shop and all was well. A couple of weeks later, a problem with the master switch in the driver's door prompted me to call my adjuster to ask if it was possible damage had been done from the bullet that was not initially detected. He agreed that it might be the case and reopened the claim. He arranged for a rental car, inspected my car at the shop once again and had payment made. So happy with the service I received."
