Have had great difficulty trying to submit a claim for travel insurance for holiday we were unable to take die to death of my mother.have emailed and submitted forms and tried ringing.witjout even an acknowledgement.unbelievably bad customer service! Reviewed on: 24th April 2023

Waste of time buying

Impossible to contact anyone to claim, web site doesnt work Reviewed on: 24th April 2023

Diabolical & useless

Wasted £260. Buy a chocolate teapot, much more useful. Flight delay & baggage delay not covered, apparently Reviewed on: 19th April 2023

Pointless

Purchased travel insurance for our holiday in May 2022, had to unfortunately seek medical attention whilst on holiday. Attempted to claim this back when I returned home as per the policy and still no further forward, they have emailed asking for more information for the third time but when I attempt to reply it sends a message back to say their inbox is full and also unable to get through on the phone it just rings and rings. Luckily it was only approximately £100 so I have resi... Reviewed on: 6th April 2023

This Firm are Are Crooks!!!

15 months and still waiting for payout on our travel insurance…Dozens of emails and to date no end in site. After being in quarantine in Dubai for 1 month they have not paid a single penny compensation!! Collinsons who deal with their claim ‘s are nothing short of corrupt!!! Beware of this….It’s terrible they keep asking the same questions over and over again. Then the whole process starts all over again !!! Reviewed on: 14th March 2023

Dreadful - barriers to claim

Flight delay over an hour should have been auto payout. Now asking me for written confirmation from airline. Reviewed on: 14th March 2023

Barriers to making a claim

Claiming online (as recommended) involves a website with basic faults (eg no option of entering password twice so you can check it, no 'eye' icon so you can see it). Password reset message not sent. Stuck. Ringing customer services gets you stuck in a queue of music on a loop, deliberately so you give up. How on earth are you meant to make a claim within the specified three months of the incident? Reviewed on: 8th March 2023

Horrible service and scammers

They automatically renewed my Health Insurance and withdrew the money from my account. I called them to complain, they apologised and promised me a refund in the next 5 working days, which I never receieved despite my continious calls chasing it 6 week later, I still haven't receved my money. The worst part is some of their advisers teated me like an idiot sometimes or a crook other times. Reviewed on: 25th January 2023

7 months and still waiting

I purchased an annual world travel insurance policy with the Post Office. It seemed very comprehensive and very easy to buy. Unfortunately I had my suitcase damaged beyond repair by an airline in June 2022, and had to make a claim. It's been an absolute fiasco since then, with no one seemingly taking any interest in my claim, intermittent emails from them asking for the same information all over again, the occasional apology for the delay, but no reassurance that this will ever ... Reviewed on: 23rd January 2023

Would give no stars if I could

I have used Post Office Insurance for a number of years but will not use them again after a recent very poor experience. Customer Services emails contained incorrect information and referred to information that wasn’t contained within my policy. I had 3 emails and a frustrating call with a poor guy in Customer Services, who tried to be helpful, but could not answer my query and his manager, kept telling him the information I’d been given in email was correct. I eventually got ... Reviewed on: 18th January 2023
