Our History:
As a travel insurance company, we think it’s very important to remember and acknowledge our roots and where we originated. World2Cover is part of Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co.

Based in Sydney and Melbourne, Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co. Ltd opened its door in the land of Oz in 1963. Over 150 employees work in our Australian branch, including in Sales and our Claims Call Centre.
Flash forward to today, Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co. Ltd has an extensive reach around the world. With over 40,000 employees in 45 countries, Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co. Ltd prides itself on being one of the top ranking non-life insurance companies worldwide.
