3 rd time having used holiday safe and although there's a lot of questions it is well worth persevering. A very fair price when other insurers charge far more when you have a medical issue.

Satisfied customer :)

Purchased this plan for a trip to the USA and specifically for the cruise add on. Thankfully didn’t have to use the insurance but felt confident that if anything did go wrong that I’d chosen a reliable provider. Easy to purchase and clear information and communication. Will use again for my next cruise trip!

I can't whole heartily recommend…

I can't whole heartily recommend Holidaysafe yet since I have never made a claim - hopefully if I ever have to they will treat it fairly.

AVOID AVOID – CLAIMS ARE DEALT WITH BY COLLINSON

AVOID, AVOID as Holidaysafe use Collinson – read their reviews! – as their loss adjustor, aka 'claims dodger'. Collinson are based in South Africa and dealing with their claims advisors is akin to dealing with robots who've been primed to be as unhelpful as possible – clearly and cynically to frustrate and irritate clients to the point they walk away from the claim. I was asked – in two calls during both of which the line cut out – to provide documents I'd already provided; when I pointd this out I was told they were not the correct format. When i asked what the correct format was, she was unable to specify. I therefore asked her to send me an email listing what was required. She told me she was 'unable to send emails'. Unbelievable. I suspect many people who've left a review on here have never had to claim. My claim should have been straightforward and was for the relatively small amount of £300 for travel delay (following a train crash in the south of France) that suspended the railway line for over 24 hours. Instead it has turned into an unbelievable palaver. i will be contacting Which who recommend this outfit and are damaging their own reputation by doing so.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and I am sorry to learn of your claims experience.

You are correct, the claims are handled by the insurer of the policy, Collinson Insurance, which is a trading name of Astrenska Insurance Limited, as per your policy wording.

We have referred this matter to their team to review and contact you accordingly.

Kind regards,

Claire

Seems like a good service and have used…

Seems like a good service and have used several times but fortunately have not had to make a claim so cannot comment on how easy that would be. However I think the medical declaration section could be a little clearer and Ideally if you are a returning customer with no changes to the previous declaration you should be able to click a box which says that and not re enter all the info again. Also sometimes when entering info the system seems to go back to the start of the same question, software bug ?
