Travel Insurance Reviews

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.

They have great prices especially for backpackers on a budget. The only catch, you have to be under 30 years old. Great for me!

I was in a hurry to get insurance before my trip to Bali, I hopped on to their website and got a policy within minutes. I later called them up for some clarification on the policy. The customer service officer was helpful and patient. No claims this trip, but I will go back with them again.

Did a few comparisons and found budget direct to be reasonably priced with good benefits that suits me. Will go with them again next time.

I always go with 1Cover when I travel. I'm going to Melbourne again next month and I just bought another policy. Their policy covers rental vehicle excess up to $5,000 and is cheaper than the reduced excess from the car rental companies. Plus I get the other benefits from the travel insurance policy. You get a 5% discount for your second policy onwards.

Rang up the call centre and was greeted by a warm and helpful assistant. Got a quote and was covered within minutes, good price too. I did not make a claim this trip, but I think it was worth it for a peace of mind.

Allianz do not practice what they preach. I was told by them that I would be given a cooling period of 30 days, in case I want to cancel my policy. However, the scenario was different all together. I was not allowed to cancel my policy after 20 days post to the date I purchased the policy, they told me it was 14 days. I had no option but to stick with them because it was only verbal and I did not have proof. Who knows what they have been telling other people. Read the PDS yourself or just do not opt for Allianz.

Thanks Virgin Money for the amazing customer service and for making my holiday!

I was admitted to an emergency room a couple of days prior to my trip but Allianz would not honour the policy. My claim was just $200 for my flight. I will not buy from them again.

Covermore travel insurance could not have given me worse service. I mistakenly dated my period of travel as 35 instead of 44 days. when I tried to change the dates by which stage I was already away; cover-more gave me no option but to try to charge me the same amount id paid for 35 days for another 9! there was no bargaining with them to be had. I suppose they thought I would pay that ridiculous amount because I was already away. I found another travel insurance company which covered the remaining 9 days for $50.

I purchased travel insurance with TID last year. My grandfather fell ill while I was on my trip. I had to cut my trip short and TID covered my travel to get home, and back to Canada a month later so I could continue with my planned trip. It was the last time I saw my grandfather alive. I was grateful for having TID. It was really unexpected as none of my family members thought it would be covered by TID. It took me less than a couple of minutes to sign up and it provided a lot of benefits at a very low price. The only downside to it was it took ages to process my claim instead of the promised 10 days.

I travel frequently and always use covermore. I found their level of service and standard of customer service to be consistent and efficient. Would recommend covermore to anyone looking for travel insurance.
