Very poor customer service. I'm trying to make a small change to my medical declaration just before going on holiday. So far it has taken more than three days and I'm still waiting for a call back... See more

Not possible update medical history to stay covered

I needed to update my medical history for the travel insurance. I called the customer support several times, leaving messages. I emailed the company too. They never answered my calls or came back to me. In the end, I had to take up a new insurance with another company to be covered for my trip.
Update. As soon as I uploaded this review, I finally got contacted by Holiday Risk. Unfortunately this was a week too late for my needs.

masters of delaying tactics

My wife went on a PO cruise where due to bad weather they could not make one port. PO gave everybody a passengers confirmation letter to make a claim. My wife has repeatably claimed only to keep being asked to send confirmation which she has done each time, she has twice been given dates when her claim would be settled each time she has had an apology but had to resend the info again. 4 other ladies in the cruise were paid within 14 days , the cruise was in August it's now 21st sept! This company obviously delays claims as long as possible and I advise any body to avoid using them!

They dont pay bills and you get legal action against you. Nightmare

I am still waiting for the bills to be paid nearly 12 months after my wife's accident and now we are being threatened with legal action. It has been a nightmare.

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service, I did have an issue with unreturned phone calls initially, but when I did get a call from Sam, who was first class, he apologised and explained that they were experiencing difficulties with a new telephone system.
These things happen, and all is good now.

Excellent Customer Service!

Having used Holidayrisk before we had no hesitation in using them again. Unfortunately, after purchasing a policy just this week we then had to cancel it due to health issues. The policy was cancelled under the 14 day cooling off period and today I have been refunded for the full premium. Holidayrisk have very competitive rates and their personnel are second to none, especially Bobby who dealt with us. I would highly recommend!
