Review of the Barclays, Travel Insurance:

Barclays travel insurance total scam

I singed up for the Barclays travel pack insurance 3-4 years ago and I was paying monthly through direct debit. I signed up to this insurance after I was convinced by Barclays customer service at the branch that I will never be let down and I will have peace of mind if I will face any problems with any of my flight tickets abroad. I didn’t make any claim and neither benefited from this insurance in the past. However, I convinced myself every time I book flight tickets that my bank insurance will cover me if I will face any issue’s. Few days ago both myself and my little child missed our return flight to England due to reasons out of our control. So I had to book oneway tickets and I had to stay in the airport and wait the whole day to catch the second scheduled flight. Anyhow. Upon my return I contacted the Barclays travel insurance and spoke to the their poor customer service who informed me over the phone after few questions that I’m not covered because my incident story it doesn’t fall under their category and I should have informed her different story. I had all the evidence and bookings to proof that my claim is legitimate. However, obviously she was asking me to lie in order for me to get my money back. What their customer service will do to you when you make a claim is they will ask you few tricky questions and they try to lead you to say something which will give them excuses not to cover your loss. They are scammers. please do not let them fool you and convince you to sign up for their insurance because they will take your money and give you nothing in return. They will let you down when you need them. not recommended at all. I wish I could give them 0 stars instead of One. Reviewed on: 4th November 2021

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

Travel pack

Great value RAC + Aviva insurance Reviewed on: 5th January 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
