Goedemiddag Anargyros,

Vervelend om te lezen dat het niet lukt om de verzekering te annuleren. Zowel niet via de website als via onze collega's. Wat voor soort verzekering probeer je te annuleren?

Automatic extension fraud

Did not have to use the insurance at all, so can't say anything about coverage. However, closed travel insurance for 6 months, and you very clearly have to indicate that it is only for 6 months. Obviously, they had some small rules, so they "extended" it automatically. Didn't notice anything (although they did sent an email), and they raised the amount even. So, just casually stole 60 euros from me.

Hi AJ,

For our continuous travel insurance you sign up for at least 1 year. It's no possible to sign up for 6 months.

Every year your insurance will be automatically extend. You will receive a message from us before the extension date.

Do you not need the insurance anymore? You can stop it at the extention date. You can contact us. Or you can stop the insurance by yourself in your MijnFBTO account.

I hope this provides some clarity.

Greetings FBTO

Won’t help me cancel insurance policy.

I’m having trouble cancelling my plan online. After so many calls and trying to WhatsApp I finally hear “you have to do it online”. Even when I try do it online the cancel option isn’t clickable. I don’t live in the country anymore. So. I guess I just cancel my card?
Thanks for nothing FBTO 💋

What a horrible company

What a horrible company? they withdrew money from my account without my permission, while I didn't have even an insurance with them :))))))))))
Don't know how is that possible. And they don't tell me who and how gave them permission to withdrew money from my account.

Horrible company

After signing in with them, I randomly noticed in my bank account that they took over 500 euros from me to cover the last half year. I told them that this makes no sense, considering I'm an expat who spent the last half year going to my home country to access a doctor. I had no benefits in this country, but still they decided to take 500 euros from me without my consent, and no matter how much I complained, they refused to do anything about it. Pure scammers and thiefs.

Bedankt voor je gegevens. Ik heb je klacht intern doorgezet. Binnen 10 werkdagen ontvang je een inhoudelijke reactie.

Hallo DM,

Ik begrijp niet helemaal waarvoor je € 500,- zorgkosten moet betalen. Heb je ook contact opgenomen met onze afdeling zorg vergoedingen of de financiële afdeling?
En zo ja, wat is de uitleg hierbij geweest?

Ik kan je klacht intern doorzetten. Ik vraag hier apart op Trustpilot je gegevens op.

FBTO tricks to get paid more!

Despite the fact that I proved that I did not caused the damage to my car, FBTO used my "all risk" insurance to fix my car. This impacted my damage-free years and monthly payment for insurance.

Hi Shahin,

Bijzonder dat je schadevrije jaren zijn aangepast. Hoe is er door de schadeafdeling gereageerd op je bewijs dat jij de schade niet hebt veroorzaakt? Zijn ze de schade misschien nog aan het verhalen op de tegenpartij? En passen ze de jaren daarna weer aan.

Hallo Guido,

Welkom bij FBTO!
Het klopt dat wij de zorgpas niet meer standaard opsturen. In de meeste situaties kan je prima de digitale zorgpas gebruiken.
Het is natuurlijk ook mogelijk een fysieke zorgpas aan te vragen.
Vraag deze aan in https://mijn.fbto.nl
Open je zorgverzekering en ga naar Direct regelen. Je vraagt de zorgpas aan bij Service. Daarna ontvang je de zorgpas binnen 10 werkdagen per post.

First they send you a mail that you are…

First they send you a mail that you are rejected because your visa does not fulfill the requirements, then - without ANY change on the existing visa, suddenly a few days later they start insuring you and ask for money, while after the initial rejection it is normal to move on elsewhere.
The support is NOT AT ALL even trying to help, on the contrary, trying to subtile tell you that you're the idiot in this matter, they are right, idiot for being so stupid to actually think FBTO is a decent company, while it turns out they are just trying every shady way possible to make money, they admit 'nothing changed' on the visa, but do not at all try to understand that they cannot reject and then not reject based on the same criteria.
Obviously the moment they said they start the insurance (same hour of receiving that mail) it was cancelled, still they insist to charge those days despite the fact that it was them who did everything wrong here !
One and one only possible recommendation: STAY THE HECK AWAY FROM THEM - AS FAR AS POSSIBLE

ski accident

I had a ski accident in New Zealand and needed surgery and stuff and when I sent them my claim I had to wait a few weeks for a response and after that they called me and they are sending the money back to me in 5 days. It went really smooth and I’m really happy with this company!

Worst insurance company

Worst insurance company, no customer service, useless website. Signed up when I thought I might have a job and couldnt cancel as their wesbite was useless. I had to buy a document saying I have cancelled it in order to get a response which told me that my letter is not valid when i havent had this insurance for a month even and it has not yet been valid as it only was meant to start next year. Utterly useless scam of a company

Bunch of thieves

Would give it 0 stars if it were possible. Got 20 pills of antibiotics that costs 0,72 cents EACH (says so on our official government website in Nl) afterwards they still took €350 “own risk” for pills costing less than €20 euro in total. Spare yourself the time and look for a other insurance company

Hi Fstroo,

Not all our employees are fluent in English. To avoid miscommunication we reply in Dutch. Thank you for understanding. Tip: Easily translate our Dutch reply by using https://translate.google.com/

Bijbetalen voor medicijnen is niet leuk. Dat kan ik me goed voorstellen Ik wil je klacht graag doorsturen naar onze klachtenafdeling. Daarom heb ik meer gegevens van je nodig. Kan je mij jouw postcode en huisnummer sturen? Alvast bedankt!

Terrible service, refuses English, can't even copy name from contract screenshot, lazy

They were pretty good to take my money, now they refuse service in English and they do whatever they can to make their customers miserable.

I messaged them today with a very specific and clear question. Gave them a copy of my contract. Asked the question.

Instead of doing their jobs (even if they wanted to do it in Dutch) and just answering, they kept nagging and trying to waste my time asking for information that was in the contract I screenshotted to them. They keep creating unnecessary friction whenever you try to get help from them because they clearly don't want to serve you, plus they block messages on WhatsApp so you can only use screenshots to translate as you're unable to copy what they say to Google Translator App normally as you would with any normal private conversation.

No customer service

No customer service. Unacceptable. I'm changing the insurer at the earliest convenience. I'm being charged twice for the same month and can't even talk about with anyone. This is how scammers work. They should pay me for my lost hours on the phone.

Inconsistent, unreliable

I was a client of FBTO since 2017, having insured three different vehicles with this company (with zero accidents or claims). Due to covid and winter, I decided to temporarily stop my car registration insurance in December 2021. When I tried to renew the insurance in May 2022, I was unexpectedly denied. First I had to wait for 5 workdays with no answer, then I got further delays due to additional questions about car's APK (which was due to expire .. guess why I needed insurance?) and finally I got denied due to (car/finance-unrelated) legal issues from 2018, which were never an issue with FBTO client acceptance in the past. Due to this inconsistency and time wasted, I had to look for another insurer.

Would give this company a ZERO star if that was possible! I can't wait to leave this insurance company come January. They are taking too many chances with us. Please don't waste your time and money here. For Dutch standard, this is low and close to being called a scam! Apparently, they don't speak English on WhatsApp.
