Our verdict on each
GeoBlue (BCBS Global Solutions)
GeoBlue suits expats and anyone living abroad who wants health and travel cover written by an insurer rather than a broker, with claims handled by phone or in the app. Premiums start at $2 and monthly payments are available, so the outlay can be spread.
INSHUR
INSHUR is a narrow broker for a specific market: monthly motor cover for tradespeople who use a van for work. It is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, reference 916800, and has traded since 2016 from GB, so a careful buyer starts with a register lookup rather than a price table.

Pros and cons
GeoBlue (BCBS Global Solutions)
Pros
- Entry pricing is low: premiums start at $2.
- Monthly payments are available, so a year of international cover does not have to be paid in one sum.
- Health and travel come from one insurer under health and travel, so an expat who needs both keeps a single provider.
Cons
- The audience is listed as expats, so a resident buying local cover at home is not the intended holder.
- The cover limit on single trip plans stops at the top of its published range, per insured person, per policy period.
- Live chat is absent, since support runs on phone, email and help centre and claims run on mobile app and phone.
INSHUR
Pros
- The excess starts at £0, so a small claim is less likely to be swallowed by the part a policyholder pays.
- Monthly payments are available, and monthly is the payment model, which suits income that arrives job by job.
- Cover runs to auto and van, so a tradesperson insuring a work van and a car can keep both under one arrangement.
Cons
- The only business line listed is public liability, so a trade that also needs professional indemnity or employer's liability has to look further.
- Cover is limited to auto and van, a narrower set than the auto, home and renters at Good Sam Insurance Agency.
- Buying through a broker, broker, puts a step between the policyholder and the insurer, so the policy wording rather than the brand decides a claim.
Who each suits
GeoBlue (BCBS Global Solutions)
Who it suits
- Expats and long stay residents who want health and travel cover from an insurer rather than a broker.
- Employers and schools that place cover for staff or students, as Individuals, employers, schools are served.
- Readers who prefer to pay monthly, since monthly payments are available on the long stay plans.
Who should look elsewhere
- Good Sam Insurance Agency, which adds auto, home and renters if you also need home, motor or pet cover.
- bonus.ch, whose premiums start at CHF 0, if the lowest entry figure on the page matters more than medical cover limits.
INSHUR
Who it suits
- Tradespeople who drive a van for work, the market tradespeople using van for work names.
- Drivers who want the premium spread monthly rather than settled in a single payment, since monthly payments are available.
- Small trades whose business cover needs stop at public liability and go no further.
Who should look elsewhere
- Home, renters or landlord policyholders, since INSHUR covers auto and van while Hiscox UK lists home, renters and landlord.
- Anyone wanting gadget, travel or pet cover alongside the motor policy, where Euroasia Insurance lists auto, home and travel.
- Buyers who want personal and motor lines in one place, since Good Sam Insurance Agency lists auto, home and renters against INSHUR's auto and van.

Questions about each
GeoBlue (BCBS Global Solutions)
How much does GeoBlue cost to start?+
Entry premiums start at $2, which is the opening single trip figure rather than a quote for a year of cover. The site median across compared brands is €8.37, and GeoBlue sits at 45 on that starting figure. A long stay plan is priced on the cover you actually need.
Can I pay monthly instead of one yearly sum?+
Yes. Monthly payments are available on the long stay cover for people living outside the US, and the payment model is monthly. That spreads an international policy across the year instead of one large payment, which suits anyone whose income arrives monthly or who wants a smaller monthly outlay.
INSHUR
What is the excess on an INSHUR policy?+
The excess starts at £0. The excess is the part of any claim the customer pays, and broker policies often load it high. A starting point that low means a minor claim does not send you straight to the bank. Check the quote carefully, since the level can still rise with the vehicle, the driver and the cover you pick.
Can I pay for INSHUR cover monthly?+
Yes. Monthly payments are available, and monthly is the payment model on offer, so the premium is spread across the months of cover rather than settled in a single payment. For a tradesperson whose income arrives job by job, that can matter more than the annual figure. The catch is that a monthly price is a standing commitment that keeps running until the policy is cancelled.
