Worst travel insurance by Barclays

Worst insurance ever!!! Don’t be fooled by reviews that talk about experiences people had when they took the insurance. I was as fooled as everyone else. I was so proud of this insurance and even told friends about it..but after a medical emergency while on a plane to a holiday which led me to being hospitalised for such a long while, Barclays treated me as if I deserved totally nothing. My claim took 7 months to process and I had to relive the terrible experiences I had. I even wished I didn’t claim at all. I felt completely demoralised and broken to bits. I was even made to pay further costs to help facilitate my claim or else as I was told, my claim wouldn’t go further. I was so intimidated. My doctors provided every bit of information and Barclays simply didn’t care. My costs increasingly became more than the cost of my claim eventually I was worse off financially after I started claiming. Most tearful experience ever. Reviewed on: 11th February 2019

A REAL LIFE SAVER

My car turbot suddenly blew up - black and grey smoke pouring out everywhere, a dreadful noise and the car went from 70 miles an hour down to five miles an hour in all of a minute. I was stranded along side the M25 but thanks to my Barclays travel insurance was rescued by the RAC who towed me home some 130 miles to my local garage to have the repairs done. A truly excellent service after what had been a very scary incident. Thank you so much. Reviewed on: 10th December 2018
