Review of the Virgin Money, Travel Insurance:

View on product page

Well at least I learned who not to use in the future

My wife and I took out an annual travel insurance policy with them. They then introduced a coronavirus exemption. No option to adjust policy, leaving us with no other option to take out insurance with another provider. Getting a refund was so difficult it was as though they were doing it deliberately to put us off. No email option and long waits to get through on the telephone with promises to call back which never happened. To round it all off they sent us an email to say that coronavirus cover was reinstalled after we had taken out the policy with an alternate policy. In the end we were only able to get a partial refund on a policy we were never able to use. My impression is that as a company they just don’t care once they have your money. My only comfort is the knowledge that I am not having to rely on them paying out if I needed to make a claim. From my experience I would expect them to make it as difficult and time consuming as possible and they would do everything they could do to avoid paying. There are much better companies out there.
