Who we are:

Squaremouth was launched in 2003 with the core goals of becoming the best workplace for its employees and the best place for customers to buy travel insurance. In 2014, we utilized our travel insurance expertise to develop and launch Tin Leg, a travel insurance brand with policies designed to address our customer’s most common and pressing travel concerns. Tin Leg quickly became one of the most popular travel insurance providers on squaremouth.com and continues to offer some of the most comprehensive products in the travel insurance market.

We’ve grown from a small team to a company of over 50 employees, gaining national and international recognition along the way as one of the best customer service teams and best places to work.  Widely recognized for our company culture, we are proud of most recently being named one of the Best Workplaces in America in 2023 by Inc. Magazine!

Continuing to strive toward our goal of being one of the most innovative companies in the field, Squaremouth was acquired in April 2023 by Specialty Program Group (SPG), a leading operator of specialty insurance brokerages and underwriting facilities. Today, Squaremouth.com, and its multi-award winning customer service team, has helped over 3 million travelers save time and money to find the best travel insurance policy for their trip.
