Friendly yet professional service from Susie. The policy was amended as I requested cruise cover adding. Susie informed me of inclusions in the policy that I wasn’t aware of which was a bonus.

They were very helpful with a difficult insurance quote due to medical reasons. When my advisor was unsure they went to a senior colleague to make sure we made the right choices and gave the right information. I would use them again.

Absolutely awful service

Absolutely awful service

Been told numerous times on call our claim has been approved we should receive payment in next few working days

Then call up again to be told it’s still awaiting approval. This has been going on now nearly 2 months after we weren’t able to go due to our son being in hospital

Sent all hospital documents, put a complaint in and had no correspondence

Excellent Help…

Their website was a bit confusing for me and I ticked a wrong box and my travel policy was cancelled. However I phoned customer services was less than a minute and then got excellent help from their customer service agent Giovanna and the issue was swiftly and professionally resolved to my satisfaction.

I spoke to Dexter

I spoke to Dexter, he was polite and friendly right from the beginning of our phone call.
Dexter put my mind at ease about a travel insurance query and was very informative and clear.
Also Dexter reminded me of the Insure and Escape app, very handy to know whilst abroad.

Like the easy buying side, beware Token sent.

Like the easy buying side, but unsure about delivery as could not open my confirmation email. I had to delay opening, but The I&E company forgot to highlight that they sent me a time critical token as a key. Note: This meant I had to spend an hour faffing about on their website with a half intelligent a.i. / human to gain it. And recover the policy details to check them properly. Strange!
As to the policy - not sure , bought belt and braces type as traveling on a coach, on a ferry to veteran reunion in France at beginning of the school holidays. So we shall see...thanks. P. S. Was happy until I printed out the policy documents. At 70, yes over 70 pages, it cost me £8 in costs and could have been in B&W ink to save colours ( why?) 2) condensed in font, space and layout to print on less paper, and 3) Plain English and just more readable.
4) a printed claims form added, if it's so long.

Thank you for your review.

We're sorry you had problems using our system, and we can't investigate further as you've left your review anonymously. A few points in the mean time:

Time critical key: While we do limit one click access to your policy documents to the first 72 hours, for your data security, thereafter the link still works and you only need to put in your post code to verify it's you, when prompted.

Policy length/font size: Traditionally policy wording documents have been shorter, but with a smaller font size. Current FCA requirements mean that policy documents must be at a larger font size and include more spacing to add with accessibility of the documents. Most of our clients review their documents on line, but we can provide a copy for free by post if requested.

Printed Claims forms: We don't include printed claims forms as standard as 95% of our customers make their claims online, as it's quicker and easier to do so, and the other 5% usually register via phone.

If you do provide your details we can look into your other points in more detail to see what happened.
