Our verdict on each
PetInsurer.com
PetInsurer.com suits UK and European pet owners who want to compare cover in one place, starting at $9.95 a month. It is a comparison site rather than an insurer, so the policy wording, limits and excess sit with the provider behind the quote you accept.
WorldTrips
WorldTrips is a US insurer aimed at expats, selling travel medical cover where the largest plan pays USD 2,000,000 overall maximum (Atlas Travel). Support runs on email, phone and help centre and claims on Member Portal (DocuSign), mail and fax, so it suits people who want direct cover with a big ceiling.

Pros and cons
PetInsurer.com
Pros
- Entry premium of $9.95 a month for a policy quoted on the site
- A monthly model spreads the cost of cover across the year
- Pets across the age range 2 months to 18 years can be quoted for cover
Cons
- Support runs on email and help centre only, with no phone line listed
- Excess starts at $50 to $500 on the PetFirst plans quoted, which is money you keep
- As a comparison site it passes you to a provider, so cover terms vary by quote
WorldTrips
Pros
- It is the insurer itself rather than a broker or a comparison site (insurer).
- The largest plan pays USD 2,000,000 overall maximum (Atlas Travel), a high ceiling for a medical bill abroad.
- Claims can be filed on Member Portal (DocuSign), mail and fax, including a Member Portal with DocuSign.
Cons
- The range is travel only, so there is no auto, home or life cover here.
- Applicants past a certain age are capped at a much smaller policy maximum, so older travellers get a thinner ceiling.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre only, with no live chat or branch counter.
Who each suits
PetInsurer.com

- Owners who want a named insurer with fixed policy terms
WorldTrips

Questions about each
PetInsurer.com
What does a pet policy cost on PetInsurer.com?+
Cover starts at $9.95 on the site, close to the pet insurance median of €9 across the ranking. Policies run on a monthly basis, so the cost is spread rather than paid in one go. The final price depends on the provider and the plan you accept.
Is PetInsurer.com an insurer?+
No. It is listed as a comparison site, which means it gathers quotes from providers and passes you to the one behind the plan you choose. The policy wording, cover limit and exclusions belong to that provider, not to the comparison site.
WorldTrips
What does WorldTrips actually insure?+
WorldTrips is an insurer rather than a broker or a comparison site, and it sells one line of cover: travel medical insurance aimed at expats. That means medical care and treatment abroad, not your car, your home or your belongings. It has been trading since 1998 and is based in the US.
How much would a serious claim pay out?+
The largest plan sets an overall ceiling of USD 2,000,000 overall maximum (Atlas Travel), so a major hospital bill abroad is not the thing that limits you. Smaller plans sit lower. You meet the excess first, which runs $0 to $5,000 depending on the plan, before the insurer starts paying the cost.
