I took out Travel Insurance with Zurich Insurance and a few months later booked a holiday, unfortunately shortly before going on holiday I was diagnosed with a serious illness and was forced to cancel my holiday. Zurich Insurance refused to pay out even though I was clearly covered. They had initially agreed to but on calculating the cost changed their minds. I know a lot of people have had similar problems with Zurich. Read more Read less

I reported it to them and they said they would phone me back. A couple of weeks later I phoned them back to see what was going on as the car rental company told me I had to return the car a week early. I had to chase them on every aspect of the claim. They paid out but months later I still cant get them to close the claim. They told me the salvage company has not invoiced them yet so I called the salvage company, they are waiting on an email from Zurich so they can invoice them Zurich are punishing me for making a claim. 30 years of driving and this was the only claim on one of my policies so now I have to be punished. I would never suggest someone buy a policy from Zurich car insurance. Read more Read less

They can't be trusted and do everything to get out of paying. If it's for income protection. They sent you to their Dr that says a crippled person is ok to go back to work & cuts off your income protection. They should be closed down. They also control your Dr and get them to change their review of your injuries so they can cut your payments off. Read more Read less

Bad enough that my upstairs neighbour had a slow leak which seeped down behind my bathroom tiles, got under the bath and rotted the floor, but Zurich's unhelpful, intransigent and downright hostile attitude made everyting worse.
