Travelers runs three personal insurance lines around the clock: claim reporting, roadside assistance (if you carry the coverage), and personal insurance customer service, which Travelers describes as open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Other teams keep set hours. Checking the status of a claim you already filed runs Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time, and MyTravelers technical support runs Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET.

Best Contact Method by Need

Policy Changes, Billing, ID Cards, and Account Questions

For common personal auto policy tasks—updating drivers/vehicles, requesting ID cards, changing mailing addresses, and billing questions—start with the personal insurance customer service line at 1-888-564-5043. You can also handle many routine changes through MyTravelers or the mobile app.

If you’re thinking about canceling a Travelers policy, timing matters (effective dates, proof of replacement coverage, and state-specific rules). Here’s a related guide: Travelers auto insurance cancellation fee.

Claims: Report a New Claim or Get Help With a Current Claim

To report a new claim, Travelers lists 24/7 reporting at 1-800-252-4633. You can also start the process online through the Travelers Claims Center.

For ongoing claim questions, your assigned claim professional is often the fastest path. If you don’t know who that is, the claim status line is the same number, 1-800-252-4633, but it is staffed Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time rather than around the clock. Personal auto glass claims go through Travelers’ Auto Glass Claim Center, which you reach from its file a claim page. The 1-800-238-6225 glass line Travelers publishes is for business policies.

Roadside Assistance

If you have Travelers roadside coverage and need help (towing, lockout, jump start, etc.), call 1-800-252-4633 and select option 3. Travelers says the service runs 24/7 with either Roadside Assistance Coverage or the Premier Roadside Assistance package. The work itself is done through Cross Country Motor Club, except in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, Wisconsin and Wyoming, where it goes through Cross Country Motor Club of California.

Quotes and Shopping for a New Policy

For auto quotes, Travelers lists a quote line at 1-866-230-0372, open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. ET. You can also request a quote online through the Travelers quote center. Availability and purchase options can vary by state, and many Travelers policies are sold through independent agents.

Use MyTravelers and the Travelers Mobile App

If you prefer self-service, MyTravelers and the Travelers Mobile app can help you manage many common tasks—like viewing ID cards, making payments, going paperless, and starting a claim—without waiting on hold.

What to Have Ready Before You Contact Travelers

Whether you call or message online, having the right details ready can reduce back-and-forth and speed up claim handling or policy service.

  • Policy number (or account number)
  • VIN and/or license plate number (for auto issues)
  • Date of loss and location (for claims)
  • Photos, documents, and repair estimates (if available)
  • Your best callback number and email address

How to Escalate an Issue or File a Complaint

If you can’t find the right department or your issue isn’t getting resolved, Travelers lists a Customer Advocacy line at 1-866-336-2077 to help route concerns to the appropriate team.

For formal complaints in writing, Travelers lists a Consumer Affairs address: Travelers, Attn: Consumer Affairs, One Tower Square, Hartford, CT 06183. You can also file a complaint with your state insurance department, especially if you believe an insurer is not handling a claim or policy issue appropriately. Rules and timelines vary by state.

How Travelers Customer Service Compares

Customer service experiences can vary widely by state, claim type, and even repair network availability. For a high-level benchmark, J.D. Power publishes an annual U.S. Auto Insurance Study that measures satisfaction by region and highlights top performers. If you’re comparing insurers, it’s worth checking the most recent regional results: J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Auto Insurance Study.

Final Word

To contact Travelers customer service, start with the channel that matches your need: policy and billing questions (1-888-564-5043), claims (1-800-252-4633), roadside assistance (1-800-252-4633 option 3), or online support through MyTravelers and Travelers’ contact forms. If you’re not sure where to go, the Customer Advocacy line (1-866-336-2077) can help get you to the right department. My advice is to call the 24/7 billing and policy line first if you are not sure which team you need, since it is the only personal insurance line that answers at any hour.
