Travel has changed a lot over the years, leaping ahead along with technology. Overseas travel is easier and comparatively cheaper than ever before, and the travel insurance industry has naturally grown alongside it. As travel becomes more accessible, travel insurance becomes more significant, delivering both essential medical protection and additional peace of mind for international travellers.

Mitsui and Sumitomo are both more than 300 years old, and both were already offering insurance when they merged in 2001 to create the Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance company.

Mitsui Sumitomo travel insurance is not currently available via finder. You can visit their website at www.ms-ins.com for more information or compare alternative options available below.

Who is Mitsui Sumitomo?

The merger of Mitsui and Sumitomo brought together two industry names that have been ahead of their time for centuries.

The Mitsui conglomerate got its start as an individual fabric merchant, but quickly grew into a conglomerate that made its mark by cultivating a reputation for exceptional customer service and looking for new ways to offer more convenience and ease to customers. Respect, honour and integrity for employees and customers alike have been part of Mitsui’s reputation as it expanded from a retailer to a more holistic business.

Meanwhile, more than 300 years ago the Sumitomo family was also looking to the future. In 1690 the family already held numerous copper mining and trading interests when it discovered what would become one of the largest copper mines in the world. Development of the mine was carried out with a focus on environmental sustainability and looking after the world for future generations, and the Sumitomo company undertook tree planting to replace what was lost, while relocating copper refineries to help mitigate the environmental impact of the mines.

Eventually Mitsui and Sumitomo were well positioned to offer marine and property insurance, and in 2001, Mitsui Marine Fire & Insurance Co. and Sumitomo Marine Fire & Insurance Co. merged into the Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Company, bringing together the strengths of both names.

Why get travel insurance with Mitsui Sumitomo?

Fostering long term business practices and forging close relationships with their customers, in both the good and the bad times, are integral parts of Mitsui Sumitomo’s company culture as well as relevant qualities to look for in an insurer.

In addition to its reliability, experience and substantial resources as an underwriter, Mitsui Sumitomo has a history of corporate responsibility that aligns with its responsibilities as an insurer.

    I am walking the Kokoda Trail in September. If I should, say, have a fall and need to be helicoptered out, do your travel insurance plans cover this expense?

      Hi John,

      Thanks for getting in touch with finder. I hope all is well with you. :)

      Generally, most travel insurance plans cover helicopter ambulance and that includes the policies underwritten by Mitsui Sumitomo. You can confirm if you have medical evacuation cover by checking the table of benefits on your travel insurance policy.

      I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.

      Have a wonderful day!

      Cheers,
      Joshua
