Travel Insurance Reviews

Before my last trip, when I was searching for travel insurance, I found Downunder via compare travel insurance. They had a plan that just suited me. It was very easy to get covered online and I purchased a policy within minutes. I rang them up just to check if they are a legitimate company and get a gauge of their customer service. I was quite impressed and will continue to use them for my future travels.

My husband and I hold an annual policy with columbus. We have been using it for 3 years now and we keep renewing it on a yearly basis. We had to make a claim last year when our camera and phone were stolen in Vietnam. We received the money within 10 days, that was really unexpected. We will renew again next year.

My trip to Fiji was a memorable one, but my husband fell sick with flu and couldn't fly so we had to extend. The people at Travel Insurance Direct were helpful but the entire procedure of filing the claim and receiving the compensation took a while.

I couldn't go on my trip because I was not well enough to travel. I lodged a claim for trip cancellation and got my money back within a week. The claims process was easy and the receptionist was very helpful.

My personal experience with Allianz has been not all that good. I made a claim for my lost baggage, and although it took some time to process the claim, it was eventually passed. However, I got back less than 50% of my total loss.

I purchased the Allianz Comprehensive travel insurance on a vacation to Europe with my family. During the trip, I had severe tooth ache and hence had to stay back to get it treated. Allianz covered for the medical cost and paid for the cost of my pre-booked tour because I had to get treatment. I recommend Allianz to all people travelling abroad.

I am part of a third-generation family business and like everyone else travelling is a part of my work. We recently purchased an Annual frequent traveler plan that leaves out nothing. The added bonus is that if I choose to take my wife and kids on one of the work-cum-pleasure trips, they are covered under the plan too!

Travel Insurance Direct lives up to their reputation. I paid them to insure me and my family for our trip this year, which was cancelled two days before we were to depart because my daughter was ill. True to their word we were paid up in full for our lost deposits and airfares.

I opted for the Downunder Comprehensive International Plan and am most satisfied with their service. I was scheduled to go to Austria last week but the trip got cancelled due to some family emergency. Their service was fast and courteous and I received my claim promptly.

I am a complete adventure sports junkie, and skiing is my all-time favourite sport. I frequently visit Japan to ski, so I was looking for a travel insurance company which would cover my skiing equipment and provide ski cover for bad weather /avalanche. That is when I came across Travel Insurance Direct Multi Annual Trip Plan. My skis were damaged in a small accident. Luckily nobody got any serious injury. To my surprise the claims process was fast and easy and they reimbursed me for my equipment. Thanks TID!!

Always cheap, easy to deal with. As an frequent international traveler I like the comprehensive cover they offer. I'm often carting my various i-tems around with me, along with clothes. Nice to know I'm covered!

We insured our Tassie holiday with 1Cover which was a simple fast online service with great value for money Unfortunately the day before our proposed trip I became ill with a swollen knee and leg. We then claimed for lost airfares and deposits on accommodation. The claims process has been smooth and dealing with their friendly efficient and courteous staff took all the stress out of the process! I will recommend this company to all my friends because a true test of quality travel insurance is when you need to claim!
