Review of the Virgin Money, Travel Insurance:

Competitive

Virgin Travel Insurance provides comprehensive coverage options, competitive pricing, and efficient customer service. I appreciate the ease of purchasing a policy online, as well as the transparency of the coverage details. The company offers a range of plans to suit different travel needs, from basic coverage to more comprehensive options that include trip cancellation, medical expenses, and baggage protection. Overall, I feel Virgin Travel Insurance seems to provide peace of mind to travellers, when looking for reliable travel insurance. Reviewed on: 24th August 2023

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

Very good

I lost my camera on holiday and they handled my claim quickly and without much effort on my side. Won't get from anywhere else now! Reviewed on: 6th August 2016

So easy and CLEAR

I took out Virgin Money Travel Insurance last year and although a couple of pounds more than the cheapest ones I could find, well worth it in my opinion for peace of mind. They are so easy to apply online and took minutes. Instructions and small print (not so small) was clear and I was able to add threats of terrorism and flight delays to it for an extra couple of £.... They reply quickly by post with a Virgin Money Card to keep on you with your account details and numbers needed. They automatically renew each year - so up to you if you want to search for other details but in this case I am happy to stay put Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

EASY

So easy to get a quote from Virgin and they didn't give the hard sell. Gave me peace of mind when going on holiday that I was covered Reviewed on: 24th December 2015

Friendly and quick service

Brilliant customer service, helpful and no pressure. Were keen to match similar product prices and you get a lot for your money. Reviewed on: 24th December 2015

very quick and easy to set up. definatly would recommend this product to all my friends and family before they tried any other company

I was looking last minute for travel insurance before a short trip to Morocco. Found a cheap quote from Virgin and went with them. Got the documents from them online very quickly. Reviewed on: 6th November 2015

Cheapest and trusted

Good value for money

Great value travel insurance. It covers all the things I need. I like buying from Virgin Money as they have good customer service and it gives me peace of mind when I'm on holiday. Setting up an account and printing off the insurance documents is very quick and easy. Reviewed on: 28th August 2015
