Poorly treated My son booked a holiday for us, a few days prior to leaving he lost his dad unexpectedly and we also received news my dad had days left to live..he died in the week we would have been away...therefore we had no choice but to cancel. Of the £3500 he paid was offered back just over £900 and still charged a cancellation fee. Shocking company zero compassion

Don't BUY Don't BUY! the site offers false reviews and they use AXA as provider and they are awful! Got stranded without any ferry, flights or any other transport in el nido and lost my jon refundable accommodation. In Addition had to buy new accommodation for 2 days last minute costing me in total £900. For my surprise AXA only covers 20£ per 12h of delay and say that trip cancellation is only for trips to and from the uk. They thieves and liars!

Impossible to get hold off Impossible to get hold off. Site is broken when trying to make travel insurance claim. No calls back when you fill in call-back form. Got an email when I was also looking health insurance and replied to that email to say that the inbox isn't monitored. Absolutely infuriating - I thought they had a good reputation but my experience is an absolute joke.

Quick payment We made a claim under cruise cover. The claim and payment was dealt with within 2 1/2 weeks, which I was very happy with. Everyone I spoke to in customer service was English and had good customer service.

Avoid. My airline damaged my baggage and left me without a laptop, my sole means of working. I called up AXA and advised them and was encouraged to make a claim. Had I known at the time that leaving my baggage in the hold would invalidate my policy, I'd have not bothered claiming, but the staff member didn't tell me this and we spent close to an hour logging the claim. I heard nothing for a week and called back yesterday to be told that my claim had been finalised and I'd get a decision. Bearing in mind I have not been able to work effectively without a laptop, things were dragging too slowly so I called again today. Imagine my surprise when I was told that my claim had been declined on the 23rd, the very day I logged it! Essentially, the staff were too cowardly to tell me over the phone that my claim had been declined (which they'd have seen on the screen!) and instead just passed the buck. Coincidentally I then got a 'declined' letter in my email ten minutes later...how convenient. I rang and asked why I was not told on the spot that the clause in my insurance would negate any claim, and was given some sort of spiel about how 'all evidence needs to be considered'. There was never any need for 'evidence'; my claim was pointless from the onset and the staff member knew this. Logging the claim, waiting for an update, chasing it and then being told 'no' has cost me time and money which I will be pursuing. Axa told me "we don't consider loss of earnings"; easy for them to say when their call staff are getting paid by the hour and are happy to spend their time dragging this unnecessary claim all the way through to its pointless and needless conclusion. If you find your policy is underwritten by Axa, AVOID it and CANCEL it. They do not care about anything other than their bottom line and you'll end up financially drained and furious.
