Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The online claim process was clear and straightforward. The questions were easy to understand, and it was simple to upload the required documents. Overall, a good experience so far.

I would not recommend.

Signed up with Hanse for our family private healthcare here in Germany and so far experience has been very bad. Claims takes ages and they do whatever they can to not refund albeit we pay a huge amount every month for a family of five.

Not quite Dreadful Company

I am having the same experience as everyone else, written to them emailed them about a cancellation on a policy for my wife. I was insured with Saga paid in 12 days. 2 months on still waiting to hear back from this awful company apart from two badly written auto replies nothing.
I must add to my previous review. They have finally paid up in full which has surprised me as I have had no meaningful correspondence from them. Apart from a letter asking for my bank details.

CROOKS- same experience as everyone else here

same experience as everyone else here. they are basically crooks who charge you for a policy but then:

1. impossible to talk to them about claims - they leave you on hold forever
2. never respond to nor pay ouT legitimate claims
I am surprised the german government hasnt cracked down on them.
total fraud!!!

avoid at all costs because they give you a false sense of insurance coverage which you do not have

This insurance is a joke

This insurance is a joke. I had an issue with my keys a few months ago and, despite a keys insurance, they are very sorry to not refund me because «I lost the keys by myself» HAHA. Please do not lose your time with this awful expensive and useless insurance.

DO not take out cancellation cover through RSD Travel

I also wish I had read reviews of this company as I wasted £90 taking out cancellation cover.No response for weeks until sent an Email.Then a letter in a scruffy hand scribbled envelope containing nothing but delaying tactics following which I sent a long explanatory letter 1 month ago. Needless to say no reply.You just give up. Jack.

No customer service. No money

It is taking months to BEGIN the claim process. I guess I wont see my money at all. I wouldn't recommended to anyone. Big mistake from my side, I should have read reviews before paying, as it has very bad reviews.

Not recommended

I would not recommended this company. The refunds take a long time and the customer service is unacceptable rude and even hung up on me twice. Very disappointing.

Not worth it

I pay 60 euros per month for no coverage. I filed a claim months ago, and even after several e-mails and calls, nothing has been done. I will be switching soon.
