I recently took out cruise cover which cost £180,alongside my existing travel insurance. Our flight from London Heathrow was cancelled along with "ALL" airlines due to a fire at an electrical substation. We had a cruise booked out of New York the following day, unable to reach N.Y.from Heathrow,we caught a eurstar train to Paris to see if we could catch a flight from there,but everything was fully booked,resulting us staying in Paris and missing our cruise.We informed Virgin Insurance and they are not interested,as you are only covered for 3 things,industrial action, adverse weather and a vehicle breakdown on the way to the airport. They classed the fire as a catastrophe and guess what... your not covered for catastrophies !!! I would never use this company or reckoned anyone else use them. Reviewed on: 28th July 2025

Review of the Ageas, Car insurance:

Worst insurance company in 30 years of driving

Absolute rip off,needed to cancel my car insurance,was quoted £50 admin fee,£20 set up fee and the months direct debit,which I expected to pay,all in all was £88 to cancel. This total was more than what it cost to change to another insurance company. It’s almost impossible to talk to someone as the lines are always very busy and premium numbers,you have to use a live chat,which at the end gives you a number to call and once again very busy could take 30 to 40 minutes !!! Trying to download my documents to my iPad is almost impossible,as attachments will not open Stay AWAY,never had any problems with other companies in past 30 years. Reviewed on: 26th July 2022
