They will do all they can to delay a resolution and make it extremely difficult all along the way. Constantly ignoring information, requesting multiple times the same information. Taking ages to respond and have the nerve to blame it on high volumes of claims!!! Oh so that makes it ok does it. You pay. You claim but don’t expect a payout as we will wear you down eventually so you give up! Speak to us? No chance, put through to a heavily accented USA citizen who insists you are at fault! Was told by Bernard at AXA that even though I hadn’t been to see my doctor since 2012 before this incident I MUST provide 2 years past history!!! He was like a cracked record repeating this and would not listen when I explained how could I? I downloaded and sent the information from an active NHS account from the portal. It is clearly stated it will be accepted. The documentation sent frm the NHS portal shows quite clearly that i had not had any medical needs since 2012 until 2024!!! This is ignored and asked for again and again!! Awful Awful Awful.. Date of experience: 09 October 2024 Read more Read less

    WARNING-BEWARE-AVOID!!!

This is a warning to others so that they don’t have the problems we have had with Coverwise/AXA travel insurance. Their pre-existing conditions are not clear, providing false information. We made a claim as I was very unwell with a serious condition and could not travel. However, because I had been treated for a small rash around my mouth the previous year (2023), which cleared up after 2 days of using ointment, they are treating this as a pre-existing condition for a policy I took out with them in 2004. Please be sure to inform them if you get a spot at the end of your nose, or a bout of earache, or any minor/temporary problem as they will not honour your claim. Besides this, they are rude, speak over you, send badly/misspelt correspondence and due to the dialect and call quality it makes communication impossible. The evidence they request to support the claim is never satisfactory and each request they make for further information differs, making the whole process a shambles. Mickey Mouse, unprofessional company, steer clear for your own good. They make you believe you are travelling with peace of mind but it is the complete opposite. Read more Read less

    Good enough!

    Clear messaging and easy to understand but long to claim and old clunky website

    Easy and reassuring

    My policy was very easy to access and was in place for my trip with no issues. It was very reassuring. The second time I used cover wise this year.

    Quick and easy

    Relatively quick and easy claiming process, and good value for money in terms of multi trip insurance! The insurance was easy to buy.
