Woefully inadequate insurance - have had Aviva World...

1
Woefully inadequate insurance - have had Aviva Worldwide Travel Insuance for 20 years and have just had to use it and found it to be terrible. £200 cover for stolen passports - to include emergency do mental. (£100), accommodation(you need at least 3 days) and flight home (don’t make me laugh). When I get home I’m changing my bank account, my insurance and recommending everyone I know to not touch TSB or Aviva with a barge like. What a bunch of charletons - you should be ashamed.

Aviva are more interested in finding someone else to pay your claim than paying for it themselves

1
Having a genuine claim with a flight cancelled due to a fire at Luton Airport, Aviva have not tried to validate my claim, but told me to speak to multiple other parties before they will even consider it. What is the point in paying for travel insurance if all Aviva do is adopt a sloped shoulder approach to the claims. I am very very disappointed with there service and will be reviewing all my other products that I have with this company Reviewed on: 17th October 2023

Avoid!Appalling Customer Service

Avoid Aviva Travel Insurance!The policy is useless and the staff are aggressive and rude. They refuse to pay out for genuine cases. I lost £4000 that I should have got back from this appalling company..Beware! Reviewed on: 2nd June 2023

AVIVA WILL PICK AND CHOOSE WHO TO PAY OUT!

1
⚠️WARNING!! DO NOT GET TRAVEL INSURANCE WITH Aviva!!! ⚠️ Absolute disgrace of an insurance company! Had to make a claim on our travel to Kenya in Dec 22 due to our original flights being cancelled as travel agent went under administration. Having internal flights and accommodation already booked and non refundable, we ended up paying triple the price for new flights to Kenya less than a month before we were meant to travel. Started a claim with Aviva along with our friends who we were traveling with and also had a policy with Aviva - to cut a long story short - they got their claim which was a higher value to ours and we’re now still fighting to get our money back in difference in flights we had to pay! EXACTLY THE SAME CLAIM, two families, they got paid by Aviva we didn’t!! Where is the justice in that??!! DO NOT GET TRAVEL INSURANCE WITH AVIVA, they will pick and choose who they will pay out!!! This has left us with a massive financial burden to not mention massive stress, after what was meant to be a holiday of a lifetime! Reviewed on: 3rd March 2023

Ridiculous and disgusting.

1
These people are disgusting. They put myself and my partner(who has had a stroke) through torture and painstaking questions and time, in order to discredit us and try to make us drop our legitimate claim. The tactics involved, repeated non pertinent questions, that made us feel like liars and cheats. At one point they had my partner and I sitting in a car for 75 minutes answering questions. Despicable crowd. Please stay away from them. Reviewed on: 26th February 2023

Cannot get refund

Had to cancel my travel insurance because of my husbands was told he could not fly. Aviva refused to pay any of the policy back even though I cannot use it . Reviewed on: 10th November 2022

Daylight Robbery

Last years holiday insurance was £200.10 for annual cover. I didn't get a renewal quote by email or post so I forgot it was due. When I phoned them about 3 weeks later they said it would have to be a new quote. They quoted £331.16 for 1 WEEK and £560,36 for a YEAR for european travel. Over the last 10 years I've had Home, Holiday & Car insurance with them. But they have know lost it all. I got cover from Allclear for a third of the price with the same amount of cover.
