Very helpful and clear

Annual Travel Policy
We have recently taken out our second annual travel policy with Explorer Travel Insurance. It is very comprehensive and takes into account my health issues. It was competitively priced compared to other big companies. Thankfully we have not required to make a claim. The owner sends regular travel updates and advice which is very useful.
Good value Good service
This is the most approachable travel insurer we have found. They are always there for you and don’t mind answering any questions you may have. Their website is easy to navigate which is a plus for older travellers. Whats more can we say, they are good value and you get what it says on the tin!
Easy to make a claim
I have had an annual policy with Explorer for 2 years. Simple to purchase and for a reasonable price.
When I was ill in March and unable to go away, it was very easy to complete a claim.The payment didn’t take long to process. Well done Explorer!

My wife had a fall in Tenerife & needed to be hospitaĺised, insurance provided a nurse for the repatriation, could not fault the service.
Good to travel with

Have used Explorer a few times
Have used Explorer a few times, whenever I have called the staff have been really helpful.....I've even claimed just to missed cruise ports, was paid prompt no hassle, I've recommended Explorer to a few people, would not hesitate to use Explorer again for my holiday insurance.
Insure with confidence
I felt confident that Explorer had listened to all of my requirements and issued the appropriate policy. My renewal date is soon and I’m hoping Explorer can accommodate both myself and my husband.

Great Company
We have used Explorer for our travel insurance since we started going on cruises a few years ago. We have taken out an annual policy for the last 3 years. The price is always competitive and purchasing the policy online is very straightforward.
A couple of years ago we had to make a claim as due to bad weather several of our scheduled port stops were cancelled. The claim process was dealt with very efficiently and the claim paid in full. I was pleasantly surprised to find that on our next renewal the premium had not increased massively.
Definitely recommended.
Works for me and a local company
Not sure how I initially heard of Explorer a few years ago, possibly via a price comparison site. Noticed that the registered office was less than a mile from home, cost of cover was amongst the lowest so have used them since then.
Easy and quick to set up a single trip policy at the last minute which is important to me as my visits to Australia are made at the last minute.
Not needed to claim yet.

We got Explorer inurance because of the fair price and the good reviews off people who unfortunately did have to claim from them. My husband has just turned 80 and its a pity that we are now unable to get Explorer insurance when this one finishes in October

Comprehensive insurance at a great price. They always keep customers well informed. Happily use them again
Explorer Travel Insurance is the only…
Explorer Travel Insurance is the only company I have used for the last four years. Its rates are extremely competitive. When I needed clarification about a policy, I was taking out, the agents were extremely helpful and polite. My husband and I are in our mid 70s and other companies proved to be far too expensive because of our age. It is my go to place when I need to take out Travel Insurance. I thoroughly recommend them
