Waste of money 0/5 Waste of money. Cheap for a reason, you're better off buying a lottery ticket, more chance of a payout, make you jump through hoops and fill in endles... Read more Reviewed on: 21st April 2026

Coverwise Annual Travel Insurance reviews (67)

Do not answer calls

1
Just sat on hold for 2 hours. I'm sure if I called to make payment I'd be straight through. Reviewed on: 21st February 2022

Appalling customer service if you need to make a claim

1
It may be cheap but they are useless if you need to claim. Constantly fobbed off. Reviewed on: 5th January 2022

Emergency medical assistance number did not work

1
I had an accident and I called the medical assistance line once I had been given pain relief and felt a little better. The line was out of order. I tried multiple times whilst at the hospital. I called U.K. offices who said they were aware there was a fault on the line and they would email them but no guarantee they would call me back. I went on Twitter to the underwriters. I emailed cover wise. Nothing. We decided to go back to the airport and call again from there. Eventually the line was ‘working’ however, I called twice and was waiting over 48 minutes each time and no one answering. If it hadn’t been for the kindness of strangers , the staff at Keflavik airport we would have been stuck. My husband put everything on his credit card - we were unable to get advice or any assistance. It was frightening. Reviewed on: 4th January 2022

Avoid like COVID-19.

Any good reviews for coverwise is simply due to ease of buying and price ...Please read their claims reviews ,after all that's THE most important part of any insurance . You will then realise on EVERY review site they get 1 star as you can't give lower . You are paying for a insurance in name only ! Good luck if you have the misfortune to need a claim . Like me it's a life lesson in checking the fine print and reviews of their claims procedure . Don't be fooled by reviews which are based solely on price and ease of ordering as you will be sorry you did.!! Reviewed on: 19th November 2021

Be aware of excess waivers

1
Coverwise's doesn't make it obvious, but comes with excess waiver for medical bills of £125 per claim. This means seeing a doctor on vaccation for small medical incidents, which are the majority a traveller regularly encounters, will likely not being covered. Better invest a bit more and get a more profound cover, otherwise this travel insurance seems useless for most. Reviewed on: 30th October 2021

Avoid at all cost

1
Make sure you untick the 'roll over' button because they will dip into your pocket without telling you and should you have the misfortune of having to speak to them - they are the rudest. Reviewed on: 27th January 2021

Avoid. Unprofessional, poor customer service. Every possible reason to delay claim resolution

1
Ongoing claim since end of July. Every step is delayed at any possible matter, every time calling for an update is later/tomorrow, still assesing. Unable to escalate to manager. Shame i can't rate 0 star Reviewed on: 13th January 2021
