I bought insurance with Globe Link
I bought insurance with Globe Link, sadly I had to go hospital during my holiday, I sent a claim as they suggest me but to have an answer from the insurance company it's really difficult, after claim they answer me only one time with an automatic reply, I had to call and call center told me to send another email and in 1 day they will answer but after the call it's already pass 6 days and in total more than two weeks. From an insurance I expect a fast answer not 2 emails that never answer and a call center that push back you because I can be have an answer only by email.

All good until you try to make a claim.
You never can rate a travel insurance until you need to make a claim. Have been with Globelink for 4-5 years on and off, (no insurance taken during pandemic, because i was not travelling). Easy enough to take out the cover even with minor medical history, and very competitive on price, especially the annual policy.
Recently had to make a claim to recover some medical expenses on a cruise where my wife and I caught influenza, visited ships doctor to obtain diagnosis and medication, obtained invoices etc.
Returned home to claim back our direct medical only costs incurred, now the fun has started, pages and pages of forms to fill in, most info requested not even applicable or the form in English. Took several hours to complete, wanted my bank details!!?? Submitted all the various info minus bank details which they eventually agreed i could supply once claim agreed.
Heard nothing back not even an acknowledgement of claim.
Update 13/02/24:
Globelink director intervened, claim cleared and initial problems hopefully resolved for others to have a better experience. Be warned because of three individual visits to a doctor, this was treated as three individual claims and accordingly deductions of 250 excess applied. From $740 of doctors fees I received 209 euros.
Having said all above Globelink did take interest in my comments, and thoroughly investigated processes used by the independent claims handler HWA.

Avoid
Avoid! Avoid! Avoid! Claim has been put in three months ago and no refund for stolen luggage. I have emailed and just a generic email "please be advised that your claim is under process under a priority list" I think the claims might be a scam. I have emailed global link who revert me to HWA who aren't processing the claim and have all supplied receipts and documents.
Do yourself a favour and use a different insurance company.

Good product, excellent management team who takes matters seriously
** Amended review. Since my initial review and terrible experience, the insurance company has responded and intervened. They have gone above and beyond to remedy the situation and are reviewing their claims process. Seeing as the claims handler is not on Trustpilot, and this review should be fair and balanced, I am amending my review to reflect my experience with the actual insurance provider - Globelink. Overall the insurance product was one of the best I compared online. In the end, my claim was successfully settled. In summary, despite a rather antiquated process which I trust they are now revamping, the product is well-priced for the extensive cover and does perform when needed. Given the company's response, I can only trust that they care about their business and take matters like this seriously.

Great value for money and excellent service
It’s was easy to complete the registration. All of the questions have information about your options. It’s easy to select an option then go back and change to another option to compare the prices. It’s clear what you are paying for.
I am a repeat customer as I have had great service from Globelink. No nonsense!!

Best Multi Trip Cover
The rep who dealt with me was super helpful and explained the cover comprehensively. Have used this company for years (the Multi Trip package) and have found it to be the front runner.

Mixed review but happy in the end
I have given this product 3 stars with mixed feelings. It took 3 months with no communications before the small claim was settled. However, when I brought my concerns higher up the chain, my claim was immediately prioritized and followed up on to be sure I was happy.

I was going to buy an insurance from…
I was going to buy an insurance from these people, but I first read the reviews of their claims handler Collinson Group on Trustpilot. They are dire, especially recently (late 2023): 47 of the 50 most recent reviews are all one star. So I would look too if I was you before purchasing. Update. I have now seen their reply. They say they have changed supplier. As far as I can tell this is not the first time they have changed supplier. Surely they should have changed sooner? So for myself I will wait to see positive reviews from individuals making claims through the new provider. Until then this remain an excellent front end, but which links to a dreadful claims process if something actually goes wrong and you need to make a claim

The website is easy to navigate and seems straight forward... of course, I just signed up and have not had to make a claim... hope I never will! But the proof will be if I ever do need to make a claim. Until then, it is a 4 star review. Let's see how they rate if I ever really need their help!

It was relatively easy to understand how to book and was an easy site to navigate. Best fo all was the fact that you were willing to send me a hard copy of the contract and terms and conditions at no extra charge. Much appreciated.

One-way travel insurance via USA, with cruising.
We were looking for one-way travel insurance via the USA and cruising. The main issue is if something happens in the USA. The information was clear, the pricing was clear and questions were answered promptly by Tracey.
