Review of the Holiday Extras Travel Insurance, Travel insurance:

Would recommend can do without the AI

4
I had to ask some questions before doing my renewal. I HATE the stupid AI stuff. Please let me speak to a human immediately not have to go through the useless AI. Also would like an email address to email a human out of hours to get an answer. Sorry if I sound old but the AI just does not work. Apart from that the booking process works well asking questions as you go. Lets you enter medical conditions and add extras at the end. I do think a £750 gadgets cover is pretty ridiculous as who has a phone worth less then that these days. I would still recommended Holidays Extras despite the couple of minor niggles I have. I am sure some people might like the AI stuff. Reviewed on: 7th May 2025

Disappointed with Late Return Cover claim process

1
I purchased Late Return Cover, including coverage for car park delays. When my check-in was cancelled due to an airline error, I was forced to book a new flight and incurred extra costs. Customer service was unhelpful, and my claim was ultimately rejected. I ended up having to escalate the matter to the Financial Ombudsman. I am extremely disappointed with Holiday Extras and how they handled this situation. Reviewed on: 10th December 2025

It was my first time travelling and did the insurance on line but had to ring customer services to help and just for reassurance I had done it all right. They were very helpful and understanding and explained everything well Reviewed on: 10th December 2025
