Initial Impressions Are Good

Quite impressed so far. A competitive premium that gives regard to my age and health.
I had a brief query that was dealt with quickly too.
Hopefully I will never need to make any claims - fingers crossed!

*DO NOT RECOMMEND* Uncompassionate and shady

Disappointing experience with this company. I had to reschedule my flight due to a bereavement, and despite having paid £140.00 for insurance, they insisted on charging me an additional £240+ to change the dates. Despite my explanation, there was a lack of empathy or understanding. After some back and forth, they mentioned the possibility of cancelling the policy. When I requested cancellation, I was told they would write to the underwriters "to see if the policy can be cancelled".

I received an email 24 hrs later stating that the policy was cancelled and a refund would be made in line "with the attached Terms of Business and Policy Wording Document", neither of which were actually attached.

To add insult to injury, only a partial refund was issued some time later.

Overall, the lack of compassion and transparency makes me unable to recommend this company.

Firstly, we are sorry for your loss and wish to extend our sincere condolences.

Thank you for sharing your experience and disappointment following your update with your revised travel dates.

As you would appreciate policy premiums are based on the length / duration of the intended trip which in this case was greater than originally planned hence the revised calculations based on trip duration.Whilst we understand your unfortunate unforseen reasons, travel insurance risk is based on the journey duration.

Furthermore, all policies cancelled after the initial 14 days are non refundable albeit in exceptional circumstances are reviewed and dealt with accordingly. You will find all relevant documents in the original policy confirmation email outling the policy terms and conditions.

Should you remain dissatisfied please write in to us by email to cs@holidayrisk.com for us to review further.

Assuring you of our best attentions at all times and in particular taking into account your unfortunate circumsatnces.

Many thanks.
Best wishes, Holidayrisk Team.

Thank you Bobby.

Spent a long time speaking to (at!) Bobby this afternoon about the ins and outs of an undiagnosed condition, (which we hope will be sorted before travelling), and the potential effects on our family's insurance cover.

He was really patient and helped me realise that we can wait to take out the insurance until after diagnosis, as we have only paid a small holiday deposit and would get this back anyway if the worst came to the worst in the next 3 months!

I will be back when we are in a position to take out the right cover. Thank you Bobby.

Top notch customer service

I bought a family travel insurance but didn't realise that the flight landed on the following day in the early hours of the morning. My first instinct was to leave it as I have never had any issues before but a little voice in my head said 'you never know.' I decided to call Holidayrisk to check whether adding another day would be an issue. I spoke to a lovely person called Sam who was extremely helpful and changed the details, at no extra cost, in less than 5 minutes. It was a weight off my mind and the call was answered very quickly. Impressed much? Yes!
