Add additional cover to policy
Wished to add additional cover to my policy and they made it very easy and looked at all options for me. Easy to add on for the rest of my trip whist travelling. Very helpful and good service.

Great experience booking travel insurance for my daughter. The person i spoke to you was very friendly and knowledgeable, was able to answer all bar one of the the (many) questions I had. The question they weren't sure about they consulted with colleagues without leaving me on hold indefinitely and came back with the information I needed. Not had experience of the claims service but hopefully it will be just as efficient.
