Travel insurance claim

Unfortunately we had to cancel a £7000 cruise at the last minute because of a cancer diagnosis. Our initial contact was efficient and helpful, explaining the information we needed to provide and the form to complete.
After submission by email on Monday evening, we had a response within 2 days, stating that our full claim (less £75 excess per person) would be payed within 5 working days. It was in our bank account two days later. This is amazing service. No quibble, just help when we needed it most.

Hi Malcolm,

Great service and competitive pricing

The whole process was very efficient. There wasn’t the long waiting time for my call being answered as I have encountered with other providers and I was taken through the whole process, including NFOP membership, in a clear and concise manner.
The premium for a multi trip annual policy was very competitive and excellent value.

Super Customer Service


I found Yvonne Zambarda extremely friendly and easy to get on with. Although all the annoying formalities are there and need to be made clear Yvonne covered all that but, at the same time, allowed her personality to shine through. A pleasure to do business with her.

Travel insurance application

I emailed a travel insurance application form, there being no facility to purchase it online. I followed up with a phone call 2 days later as it was quite urgent. They could not find my email but said I could arrange it over the phone.

I was transferred to Amy who was very helpful and knowledgeable. It was arranged quickly and I received an email with all the details a few minutes after the call.

Hi Peter, Thank you for your feedback. We are working with the insurer to see if there is anyway the process to purchase online could be simplified, but I am pleased to hear that when you called and spoke to Amy, everything was taken care of in a speedy manner. Thank you for arranging your insurance with CSIS, and have a fantastic time on your upcoming trip. Kind regards, Spencer

Travel Insurance Without Condition Notification

We took out this policy as no medical questionnaire involved which simplified the travel insurance process greatly and next year's renewal should be equally straightforward. The worldwide policy matches that used previously without all the medical questionnaire hassle.

NARPO Travel Insurance

I have been a member of NARPO for a number of years now but never used any of their services. When my travel insurance was due I went on to their web site and 20 minutes later I had signed up and was extremely happy with my policy. The whole process was easy and straight forward to follow. DEFFINITELY worth having a look if you’re considering travel insurance. I will also be giving it a look when my car insurance is due later in the year.

Excellent service

We wanted to find out about the travel insurance offered by NFOP via CSIS so contacted the company. We were really impressed by the friendliness and professionalism we were greeted with. All our queries were answered clearly and they even gave us a comparison of different premiums for the insurance. We went on to purchase a policy. Very highly recommend the company
