New Brisbane-based insurtech Wise and Silent says it offers competitively priced travel insurance targeting Australian travellers under 35 via its retail brand Travel Protect. 

The Australian-owned company is an authorised representative of Battleface Insurance Services. The products are now being marketed at Finder.  

“We want to revolutionise the Australian travel insurance industry by improving the overall experience for customers through a more efficient purchasing process, more personalised service and tailored products to address the needs of the evolving modern traveller,” Founder and Chief Digital Officer Glenn Broadhurst said.  

Mr Broadhurst spent seven years at Cover-More, finishing as EGM Group Digital Direct & Optimisation in London. He managed executive account partnerships with NRMA and Medibank, and was formerly Virgin Australia E-Commerce Websites Team Manager. 

Changes in travel behaviour as the industry recovers post-pandemic present an opportunity for a new entrant to disrupt the market, he says. 

“Customers have asked for easier-to-understand policies, and we have delivered, underscoring our dedication to industry transparency and value for service,” Mr Broadhurst said.   

“Our partnership with Battleface enables us to provide world-class customer service, claims management, and emergency travel assistance.” 

Wise and Silent says getting a quote or policy is fast and the process easy to follow, and all plans are competitively priced with great coverage such as a $10,000 cancellation cover, offering great value for money.
