Best travel Insurance
I was stuck in Bali due to the ash cloud. I received an email from TID assuring me that I was covered. We remained at the same hotel and kept all our receipts. TID refunded me fully. The claim process was efficient and easy. I recommend TID to everyone I met.

Easy process
From buying insurance to having to make a claim the whole process was very easy.

How easy was that
I recently made a claim and it was just a matter for collecting necessary documents of which I already had on my computer and submit them to a claim form. I was also required to get a quote of which I paid for but that was minimal. I was kept up to date throughout each stage of the claim. My claim was the first I have ever made and it was really a simple process and monies directly paid into my nominated account.

have lodged 2 claims which were paid. One for a stolen phone and I could not get San Francisco Police to email the report, TID went to the trouble of contacting the police and the claim was paid

A difficult time but at least not also a financial loss
When my father-in-law died we had to cut our wonderful Europe trip short. Bitterly disappointed and sad at our loss. At least the TID claim meant we were not also out of pocket. Already planned our makeup trip and using TID again.

I have been using TID for approx 3 years and in this time I have had to make 1 claim and it was easy as.

Fast, efficient service
Our trip was rescheduled due to the ash cloud and TID were very easy to deal with submitting our claim. It was good to speak to real people about our rescheduled trip and subsequent new policy. I have since taken out another policy with TID for travel in 2016 and have confidence with the cover for my family. I would definitely recommend TID to family and friends.

Trustable and fair travel insurance provider
I made 2 different claims for 2 trips I had in the last 3 months. Both claims went well and the processes were straight forward after I submitted all supporting documents requested. I would use TID again in the future for sure.

Very prompt service
I also spent an extra 7 days in Bali due to the ash cloud. When I submitted my claim with all receipts for extra accommodation and meals incurred the matter was dealt with courteously and in a timely manner, with all these expenses refunded.
I have since arranged to use TID again for my next overseas trip in 2016.

Extremely helpful staff, extremely easy process
From the moment the ash cloud started causing flights to Bali to be cancelled, TID reassured us that we would be looked after, firstly with an unprompted email and then on 2 occasions when I spoke to a consultant on the phone. TID reassured us that everything would be covered and the steps that we should take. In a stressful time we were able to rearrange our holiday to an alternate location, safe in the knowledge that we would be reimbursed for our cancelled accommodation on our return. Could not speak highly enough of the staff and the claiming process.

Stolen iphone
I had a brand new iPhone stolen whilst in Hawaii. I literally left it behind on my seat for 30 seconds and it was gone. Reported it to the police which took hours. Because I didn't have it in my possession when it was stolen the claim was knocked back. They even said if it had been stolen out of my bag whilst on the floor underneath me it would have been knocked back also so be very careful when taking out this policy. I will never use them again.

First Time
This was the first time we have used TID, and it won't be the last. The on line application was simple, everything explained, and all completed within 5 minutes..

Appendicitis in Bali
Excellent care from the first phone call. Everything covered, including Catscans Ambulance ICU Hospital Post Op care Medicines and follow up phone calls. Total cost to me $100 excess. Would highly recommend.

Professional, efficient, good value
Excellent service, have used multiple times, good value for money and flexibility. Have only made one claim for a stolen phone, but no complaints with the process and claim was received in full.

Very helpful
We needed to make a claim for our camera which stopped working after hiking on the Milford track in New Zealand where we had unexpected rains and had to walk through very deep floodwaters. The staff were very helpful in dealing with our claim and ended up replacing the camera.for us.

Excellent Travel Insurance Provider
My family and I have been using TID for a number of years now. Every time signup is simple, customer service and follow up are fantastic and whenever we've needed to make a claim it's been so quick and easy. I cannot recommend TID enough.

Excellent service
We were recently stranded in Bali due to the ash cloud. TID emailed us while away and reassured us of what we could claim in this instance. We didnt even contact them while away. They paid for all extra accommodation and meals whilst we were stranded. We were just reminded to keep receipts.
