Do not insure with AXA its a Con If you pay money to this company, it us worse than not being insured. Not only will they refuse to settle the most simple and straightforward claim, but they will waste your time. Their complaint team work to a 40 day response timescale. Cases are pushed into the long grass by spurious requests for unnecessary documentation and weeks /months go by without progress.

I sended documents to them for my claim… I sended documents to them for my claim and its been 20 days since they received, on the website they saying that a response and resolve will be 15 days , when i talk to them today they said its 45 days and 15 days is preliminary , avoid this company , always trying to dont pay

Not as bad. Money refunded, but lack of communication Not as bad as expected after reading all of the reviews here. My husband was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia while in DR. We spent 1 night in the hospital and the total cost was £3500. We initially wanted AXA to pay the hospital directly however the AXA advisor said that it may take a very long time since it was Saturday. We ended up paying ourselves and submited a claim when back in UK. We did have to chase them few times and there was lack of communication, however at the end we were refunded in full. It took around 5 weeks from submitting the claim to receiving the money.

Fraudsters Do not use this company. I submitted a claim in mid December when the trip of a lifetime I had planned needed to be postponed due to my wife suddenly being admitted to hospital for 7 nights a day before we were due to travel. I diligently phoned all airlines, hotels, trip providers possible (our original trip was for 6 weeks) making several stressed calls trying to receive refunds where we had to cancel. I managed to receive refunds from most companies, however ended up needing to claim for a few hotels and some internal flights that I was unable to cancel. I thought this would be straightforward with a company with a name such as Axa. Several rounds of requests for the same documents that I had already submitted, querying a form submitted by my GP, fake promises that the assessment would be prioritised and finalised by the end of the week. I have now lost all faith that this will be resolved at all. I raised a formal complaint, and received what to me seemed a satisfactory response. This came with a promise that my claim would be finalised within 5 days. I chased again yesterday and was promised a call back. The 5 days has now passed and I still haven’t heard anymore from the claims team. I now will be raising this with the financial ombudsman.

Avoid My father in law was diagnosed with a serious condition 3 days prior to travelling for a short break which my wife and I had booked a couple of weeks prior. Unfortunately 1 day prior to travel we found out it was a terminal condition. Therefore we could not travel. Father in-law sadly dies the next week. Hotel chain would not refund (non-refundable rooms) and airline was being difficult. So decided to use our AA Travel insurance underwritten by AXA to claim back a small amount of money. AXA has been unhelpful asking us to share the same information twice and being quite brutal in their questioning. I have supplied all information requested including death certificate, hotel booking details and flight information. Their processes seem broken, they don't appear to want to support this small claim and they seem to use a mix of offshore / onshore contact centres which is not ideal when dealing with claims of a serious nature. I would be very concerned if we had an actual emergency and required support from this company. I will not be renewing with them.
