Post Office Travel Insurance reviews (136)

They don't pay out

1
Booked a cruise, my first holiday in 6 years. Couldn't travel due to illness - all signed up by my GP. They won't pay out because they are "overworked". It has taken them 6 months so far. I am a SubPostmaster and have removed Post Office Travel Insurance from sale. Reviewed on: 9th September 2023

The Best

the cheapest on the market, I recommend it to everyone Reviewed on: 24th August 2023

The worst!!!

1
I didn't read rhe reviews before buying travel insurance from them. The worst costumer service ever. We must to call from the hospital in Turkey 2 hours so they can send the documents for the calm for my 4years son!!! He was so upset because of the injury and besides the injury he need to wait 2 more hours at the hospital for the insurance!! Reviewed on: 23rd August 2023

Terrible customer service

1
Absolutely appalling customer service when trying to make a claim - they tried to tell me what I was claiming for was not covered under my insurance and it took me reading out the wording of the policy agreement to show that it was. Then they only sent me money for one of my claims and not the other resulting in having to ring them again. Each phone call taking over an hour each time due to an extremely long time spent on hold Reviewed on: 1st August 2023

Do Not Buy

1
I have been trying now to make a claim on Post Office Travel insurance for 5 months. My husband and I were prevented from going on a cruise when he had a cardiac arrest in February. His heart condition was accepted as an existing medical condition on the policy which cost £1200. They constantly pass the buck, ask for medical notes and leave everything to the last legal minute they are allowed. They owe us £8000plus. I know others have reported them to the Financial Conduct Authority and have done so myself Reviewed on: 26th July 2023

Not worth the broadband space of downloading the docs ,

Password nightmare

2
Tried to access online. Changing password didn't help. Prompt to reset password came from TRAVEL.Rang call centre, she reset it, got in once. Then travel.insurance wouldn't let me in. Reset wouldn't work, rang. Man said he'd send email but didn't. Now can't access home insurance either. Won't be renewing either police, what a farce. Reviewed on: 8th June 2023
