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

Kept well informed of renewal date

It was easy to renew the insurance and also cheaper than the previous year, which was a bonus! Appreciated the advance notice of renewal which gave plenty of time to explore other options before deciding to stay with Holiday Extras travel insurance. Reviewed on: 15th January 2026

Very good and great value

I have only place the last two questions at Good because I haven’t used these services. But everything else has always been great so I presume everything is great too Reviewed on: 12th January 2026

When searching for insurance products I always discuss the product with an institutions agent. This is a good way of assessing the quality of the organisation. I have found that “Holiday Extras” agents are amongst the best in the industry. They have always been very knowledgeable about their product, well able to fully explain any points or issues and extremely helpful. Reviewed on: 11th January 2026

The insurance is fine but required several phone calls to sort out a simple renewal. This request for review is dated 1st Jan 2025: I assume this means 1st January 2026 which is the start of the period of insurance after renewal Reviewed on: 8th January 2026
