Unexpectedly poor !

I was insured with Virgin for many years . When I had to claim , the time taken to process the claim was too long and the customer service were awful . I had to get all the forms filled in by the doctor , the insurance company would not write to him , this is no longer their job despite you giving the details on the claim form. Claims are simply farmed out to a claims handler . They tried to wriggle out of paying and only with my persistance and additional information from the Oncologist did they finally pay. Suggest you insure with somebody else , Virgin is just a front . Reviewed on: 1st October 2017

Amazing for medical conditions

As a young person with pre-existing conditions; I can't access a lot of medical travel insurace specialists. Virgin Money is amazingly affordable and inclusive of all conditions - I never use any other company. Reviewed on: 4th September 2017

Easy and affordable

Purchased an annual worldwide travel policy through virgin, the cover was easy to obtain, affordable and the documentation, easily accessible. Phoned virgin to clarify a winter sports condition and they answered the phone quickly and clarified the clause, great customer service. Reviewed on: 4th July 2017

Great Product

Simple sign-up on line, cover for pre-existing conditions and winter sports cover as standard. Perfect for me. Reviewed on: 5th February 2017

The absolute worst customer service

The service from this company has been so poor I almost don't know where to start! The right hand doesn't know what the left is doing, delay after delay with a very straight forward claim for delayed/damaged baggage. Apparently I should pursue the airline, even though I bought insurance from Virgin. Mislaid paperwork etc. I was issued a cheque for 15 quid (to replace my suitcase LOL) a month after informing them that Easyjet had replaced my suitcase with a new one of similar high quality, so I was dropping my claim for it. They then demanded the cheque back as if it's my fault! 2 months later, I am still waiting for settlement. It takes an absolute age for them to reply to anything, and it's always from an anonymous person - which I HATE! Thank God, I didn't have to claim on the medical cover. COMPLETE WASTE OF SPACE. AVOID. Reviewed on: 23rd November 2016
