FAQ

Is this affiliated with Squaremouth? No. This is an independent, third-party actor that submits a real quote request to Squaremouth's public quote tool and reads the resulting comparison page — no account or login required.

Why do prices vary by trip cost and traveler age? Travel insurance pricing is risk-based: it depends on trip cost (for cancellation/interruption coverage), traveler ages, destination, and trip length, exactly as it would if you filled out the quote form yourself.

Are these real, purchasable prices? Yes — the same live quotes and buyNowUrl links shown to a shopper on squaremouth.com for the trip details you provide.

Why are some fields like cancelForAnyReason missing on some plans? Not every plan offers every coverage type. Fields are only included when the plan actually publishes that value; missing fields mean the plan doesn't offer or display that coverage.

Can I get quotes for non-US residents? Yes — set residenceCountry and citizenshipCountry to any country Squaremouth supports (200+ countries/regions); residenceState is only used for US and Canadian residents (state/province) and ignored otherwise.

Does quoteUrl expire? It's the same permalink Squaremouth generates for your trip's specific quote request, valid to revisit for the current pricing.

Limitations

This actor covers Squaremouth's single-trip quote form (/plans/single-trip-home-page), which is the flow the vast majority of users need. Squaremouth also publishes a separately-built Annual/Multi-Trip quote form (/plans/annual) with a different field set (trips per year, maximum trip length, instead of one departure/return date pair) — this is a distinct product, not just a filter on the single-trip form, so it isn't covered by this actor. Its themed landing pages (cruise, adventure/sports, medical-only, flight, group, family) reuse the same single-trip quote engine this actor already drives, just with different marketing copy and pre-selected defaults, so no separate support is needed for those.
