Travel easy

4
Easy to get - no too many questions Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Slick sales awful on claims

1
Good price very slick process on selling the in surance but what they don't tell you is that they use a third party claims management Company called CSA (csal) who are truly awful and rate a 1.3 on trustpilot. Reviewed on: 9th November 2023

Affordable cover for medical conditions

5
Excellent cover for pre-existing medical conditions for those in their senior years who want to travel. Easy to navigate the website and get the insurance we require. Reviewed on: 6th September 2023

Good Value

5
Avanti have a very clear policy, they are competitive and also often offer a discount code. I have not had to claim from them but am confident they would be efficient with a claim. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2023

Poor coverage

2
I paid for the highest package offered. Yet was refused insurance for accidental damage on my suitcase. Overall not impressed and they make it difficult to sort anything over the phone. Reviewed on: 22nd August 2023

not worth the paper it is written on

1
total rip off they are good at giving you a quote and extracting money off you until one day you need them my wife broke her thumb in a cruise cabin door to which this cost me £ 1,100 in medical costs they have paid me £ 264 after numerous un answered phone calls and emails they are a pain to deal with as they use a third party claims firm ( dont answer they save money) KEEP WELL AWAY Reviewed on: 10th May 2023

Avanti Travel Insurance IS A TOTALLY FRAUDULENT ORGANISATION

1
when I had to claim for repatriation, following emergency abdominal surgery abroad, Avanti said my travel insurance with them policy was invalid because travel to eh country in question was advised against by HM government because of covid restrictions. I didn’t know this, but Avanti insurance, with whom I discussed my trip before going, knew this and could have told me. But in the spirit of the Kray brothers, they let me go, to take my premium, but then declared the policy they had sold me to be invalid. the financial ombudsman service, whose fees Avanti pay like all other regulated companies, merely supported Avanti. Reviewed on: 7th February 2023

Avoid!!!!

1
This company is a complete rip-off!! Got diagnosed with cancer halfway through my policy - was told that my cover was now void and was not due a refund for the oustanding 6 months of cover as this in their terms and conditions. I was completely shocked. I honestly feel robbed. I will never ever deal with this company and have told my friends, work colleagues and customers the same. Reviewed on: 16th January 2023

unfair

1
no compassion after trying to claim after loss of a child while away, too much red tape Reviewed on: 12th January 2023

babies not covered.....

1
WOW, just been told that if a babies passport is not being held by them its not covered by the travel insurance! A BABY! We had our families passports stolen and they refused to pay out as the chidren were not holding their own passports. We paid for a family cover. Reviewed on: 17th October 2022
