Travel Insurance Reviews

Used 1Cover on several occasions for my overseas trips. Cheapest policies I could find on line. I haven't needed to make a claim yet, so no idea of the Co's follow up service following a claim lodgement. I like their timely and friendly reminder to extend the cover period if req'd. A.B

great value , great service my mother and her friend travelled with us and being over 80 insurance can be expensive. 1 cover gave them a quote and they were very happy and took it out with them as well.

I took out a policy for a short trip to North Queensland (mainly for car rental excess cover). I unexpectedly had to extend my stay for two days, and I tried to call 1cover to extend my policy. I called at 7pm but could not get through (their office was supposedly open till 8pm), so I sent an email. I didn't get a reply until the following morning, when I was told that I couldn't extend my policy as it had already lapsed, nor could I take out another policy.

I replied outlining my circumstances and told her that I tried to call during office hours before my policy had lapsed, but I did not get a reply.

I therefore had to take out insurance with the car rental company at $30/day and was an inconvenience.

Very disappointed at 1cover's customer service, and as a result will not be using them again nor recommending them.

My husband got dengue fever whilst in Thailand. From the moment I contacted Worldcare, they were brilliant, their advice, follow-up and support were invaluable. It is great to have an Australian to speak to and the advice from the nurse was reassuring. The claim was settled quickly, even if the paperwork to make the claim was over the top - this is the only criticism I have of the whole process. I highly recommend Worldcare and will use them again.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I used Fast Cover Travel Insurance for a trip to Queenstown, New Zealand in July 2013 for a ski trip.

Being a 31yo female from Sydney, there were lots of options, but I had received good reviews and checked out their website.

The website was easy to use, and easy to get a quote. The ability to add extra snow protection was great - and was only a small additional fee, that gave me LOTS of cover.

There were a choice of easy-to-understand policies which were really comprehensive and great value for money.

Unfortunately, I had to make a claim after my flights cancelled due to snow in New Zealand. I called them up straight away (after hours on a weekend) and their friendly claims team were helpful an professional and gave me all the information I needed.

Upon submitting my claim on my return my claim was paid promptly and without any questions or hassles.

I had such a great experience, that I've just purchased travel insurance again from Quick Cover Travel Insurance for my next holiday and feel very assured knowing that if anything goes wrong (hopefully it wont), that I will be taken care of once again.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I went with itrek for my trip to New Zealand because I had my heart set on bungee jumping and NO other insurer would cover it. It was priced really well and I was happy with everything else that the policy covered. I didn't have to claim, because luckily my rope didn't break!!! haha ! I will definitely use them again.

I get comparison quotes each time we travel, but 1 Cover is always the best value. After 8 travel insurance policies, 1 Cover is a must have whenever you travel.

Thankfully, have never had to claim though have used 1Cover a few times for overseas travel. The quoting, signup and post-purchase experience is excellent. The passport-wallet sized policy is a nice trick and they follow-up at several points with emails and SMS. Will use again for sure.

My laptop was damaged in Europe and Worldcare were a dream to deal with. My claim was paid in less than 2 weeks and there were no complications. Thanks Worldcare!

By far the cheapest and most comprehensive travel insurance around. Have used it multiple times now, and thankfully haven't needed it. The staff are helpful and have recommended to a few friends as well, who have also had a great experience. I won't bother comparing to other companies now as they are too hard to beat.

Anyone considering Australia Post for their travel insurance should be aware that any valuable items including cameras, ipads, phones, computers, jewellery etc will NOT be covered if left secured in a motorhome. As many people are choosing to travel this way you should consider getting insurance elsewhere. Our motorhome was locked and secure, but was broken into. I lost everything of value and have been refused payment.

Have used 1cover now for numerous domestic and overseas trips. Staff are always helpful and give good information over the phone. Appreciate the car hire excess cover and pet cover (overseas only) . Don't look anywhere else now for travel insurance.
