The definition for a “Traveling Companion” can vary depending on the company and policy selected. Generally, a traveling companion means a person who is sharing travel arrangements with you. You should note that a group or tour leader is usually not considered a Traveling Companion unless you are sharing room accommodations with them. Always refer to your travel insurance certificate for full details and their definition.
