Not only are they the cheapest (make sure to look up the 5-10% discounts which are always floating around). Been using them on every trip and unfortunately I had to make my first claim this year after me and a friend were robbed. On top of that, the police report was filled incorrectly. Although having every right (by their standard PDS) to void our claim, they worked together with us to solve and clarify the issues and ended reimbursing our entire loss. Cannot recommend them enough.

I have never need to make a claim so far, but I have found the process of purchasing and the value of the cover for the money spent is great. I have only heard good things about TID. From other people I know the claim process is definitely one of the best.

By far the cheapest and best value I could find. The company sent me messages to make sure we were all ready for our trip. Very Cheap piece of mind.

Recently used TID for a trip to India, whilst there someone stole my bag while i was taking a "how to become a samosa guru" class. I was unable to get a police report at the time and resigned myself to losing all my valuables.. The staff at TID were plenty helpful and i ended up recovering all my costs! Recommend them.

Great insurance company. Really easy to use. has a claim to make overseas when I got a lot of items stolen in Europe. The claim process was quick and easy and I was reimbursed everything.

They said they would pay the claim if I paid my $100 excess first so I paid that 8 weeks ago and they still haven't paid the medical company, this is unacceptable as the Medical Company are contacting me for the funds. I am thinking they are a scam as they took my $100 but have not paid the account and it has been over 8 weeks, yet they took the $100 within a week ?

I have used travel Insurance Direct a few times now and they are great value for money, kids are free! They also offer discounts like 5% off. Its quick to get and they don't ask lengthy questions.

Great coverage for a very reasonable price. The purchase experience was very easy, the website was extremely user friendly. All information was emailed quickly in formats that were printer compatible. Great experience.

I took out travel insurance to make sure my expensive camera would be covered in case anything happened to it while I was on holiday in Turkey. It turned out I wasn’t covered at all after it was left in the back of a taxi. Little did I know that my camera was not covered if left in any form of transport, let alone a taxi. The reason I took out insurance in the first place was to cover me for situations like this. I will not be bothering next time TID.

They seem like a decent company with cheap rates. I did some price comparisons over the internet and found them to be one to the cheapest.

I used TID for my three week trip to Thailand and was surprised as at the level of customer service I received. Thank you TID for making such a mundane task as buying travel insurance a fairly enjoyable experience. I will definitely use you again!

Most economical option when I travelled in both Asia and Europe. Luckily however I didn't need to make a claim. Application was made quickly and easily over the internet. Would use again.
