Review of the Coverwise, Annual Travel Insurance:

Avoid no response when making a claim

Unfortunately in my experience with a travel insurance claim it has been 3 months and I’ve had no update on my claim or when it will be assessed. I am having to now raise this with the financial ombudsman as AXA, who act on behalf of coverwise for claims, keep delaying assessing the claim.

Avoid Coverwise at All Costs. A Complete Nightmare!

If I could give Coverwise zero stars, I would. It has taken them FOUR MONTHS to review my claim, dragging me through endless hoops, requesting document after document, many of which I provided multiple times. And after all that?

Slow, unhelpful, and dismissive. Every time I called, I got a different answer... Reviewed on: 12th March 2025

Affordable annual cover

Affordable annual cover, appears to cover the basics but nothing more. Significant excess and exclusions if I was forced to have to use it, but useful reassurance as a last resort. Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Easy and Affordable

Auto-renews annually so no faff, emailed in advance in case you wish to cancel Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Relatively quick and easy claiming process, and good value for money in terms of multi trip insurance! The insurance was easy to buy. Reviewed on: 4th September 2024
