Been with HSBC First Direct for travel insurance for years but never had to use it. Due to family illness we had to cancel a big holiday. Aviva who are the underwriters for the bank paid out with no quibble. Very impressed Reviewed on: 2nd December 2024

The Premier Worldwide Travel cover - beware

Couldnt reach anyone end of December before travel to extend the 31 day cover, which apparently you are able to extend for a payment, but you just get diverted to online forms which are not replied to swiftly or completely. Finally got through to someone that is connected to the team who look after this travel cover who couldnt find my record on their computer and so I had to go back to HSBC and ask them to contact the travel end and verify that I was indeed a Premier account customer - a call that was mind numbingly long and unsuccessful. The HSBC travel desk or colleagues connected to it who picked up the line continued to tell me they couldnt find me on their system but given I had contacted HSBC to send the message the system should right itself and I will be covered. I was finally emailed the policy document before I left the UK, but I was unable to extend the number of days cover. Tried to extend once abroad and got through to a human pretty quickly but as soon as the underwriter learned that I might make a claim (unforeseen dental emergency which I tried to defer to my return but the doctors said it was too serious) they refused to extend the cover. They offer this insurance "free" to Premier customers but you get what you pay for. I will never rely on this cover again. Beware! Reviewed on: 25th January 2023

Really good travel insurance

HSBC covered us for more than the rest of our family in our ski trip this year. Their COVID cover is complete and gave us great peace of mind Reviewed on: 15th August 2022

Competitive price but outstanding cover

The price is comparable but when you look at the finer details the cover is so much more than others. Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019

HSBC Travel Insurance for stolen money

I was pick pocketed in Nicaragua and lost around £200 + drivers licence. HSBC paid for my claim and even added £20 for drivers licence even though I didn't claim for that. Took about 2 months to review my claim and paper work is tremendous. But worth it at the end! Reviewed on: 31st October 2017
