When my wife's sister was taken into hospital four days before my wife and I were to fly out on a three week holiday we cancelled the holiday immediately. An easy decision when the sister was terminally ill. Twelve days or so later the sister died and we knew the decision to cancel was right. Our Holidaysafe insurance covered us for the decision to cancel and the full holiday costs were reimbursed. Read more Read less

Don't buy insurance if you have AF

I had told them about an existing medical condition - paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation that I developed after the Covid vaccines.. Whilst I was away on holiday, I was offered a cardiac ablation (which I had previously turned down) but subsequently decided to accept it. I had the procedure - which has a high success rate of curing AF - when I returned home. I rang up to inform Holidaysafe that I had had the procedure to cure AF and they charged me £43 MORE! I wasn't informed at the time of booking that there would be an extra charge if I had a CURATIVE procedure. Moreover, I wasn't told either at the time of booking the ANNUAL policy that if I had the procedure, I would not be insured to travel for 6 weeks afterwards. If I'd known this, I would have obviously booked a single trip insurance, because I couldn't be covered for 6 weeks of a 52-week policy. I was booked to go on holiday 5 weeks and 3 days after the ablation. I told this to Holidaysafe and asked if cover could be suspended for the 4 remaining days and then reinstated as soon as the 6 weeks post-procedure were up. They took ages to get back to me, then rang me whilst I was abroad to tell me that they were cancelling my insurance altogether. I have booked insurance for myself and my three children for over 12 years previously and made no claims, but I will NEVER book with them again. They failed to give me full disclosure or full information about what would happen if I had the ablation procedure (a standard treatment) at the time I paid for annual insurance and they did not act reasonably when I was honest and made a reasonable request for the insurance to be suspended until the 6 weeks was up. This was only 4 days, but no - they left me without insurance when abroad. How is this reasonable? Or fair? The Complaints procedure was hopeless. Read more Read less

I didn't realise at first that all historical medical issues need to be mentioned because the way the questions are asked it implies that only issues in the last two years need to be mentioned. I was disappointed that these old issues that have been dealt with and have no effect on my health now have resulted in a higher premium and a significantly higher excess. The premium is still similar to other quotes though. On recieving the policy details I see that there is an added bonus of outpatient non emergency medical services. Read more Read less
