Very poor communication during the application process. Very unclear what documentation was required, or what exactly they would accept or not. The 'back office' make the decisions, but took weeks to contact me - meantime they didn't communicate with the people who actually staff the helplines. After 8 weeks I gave up and cancelled the application. On the bright side, I was awarded £100 by their complaints department. Read more Read less

    In the wrong business

Uploading proof of NCD through the website account doesn’t work, advised them but my email has been ignored, sent proof by email instead, asked for a receipt, instead I received an email telling me to send my proof of NCD, I replied by sending it again, asking for a receipt which was ignored. I have NCD stretching back over 20+ years and that’s what I listed on my proposal, my other insurer simply lists this as 9 years + on my proof of NCD. This morning I have received a surly, unsigned email from Post Office advising me that my policy remains unaffected but my NCD proof is different to what I told them. All of the correspondence from this company is brusque and unpleasant. If they are this bad when taking my money how bad will they be if I need to make a claim? Read more Read less

Sadly my partner suffered a large motorbike accident and we could not travel. When we contacted the Post Office, they were so kind and empathetic and went through exactly what we should do. When we got the letters and documents required we contacted them again and said they would take care of it all. With 7 days we had the money back, less the excess. This experience had made such and impact, I have always picked the Post Office for my travel insurance even this year again. Cannot speak highly of my experience. Read more Read less

As I have not claimed I have only experienced the renewal process. lt has gone fine and I have left it on autorenewal, but compare the price before expiry. Last year they were £60 more expensive than reasonable competitors, but this year the price has dropped over 20% and is very competitive. Read more Read less
