Delayed baggage over 24hours , unfortunately being in rural Zimbabwe the local market didn’t take cards so everything I had to buy was cash! Also had to pay $30 for taxi to pick up the luggage from the airport the next day and bring it back to the hotel! Claim rejected without receipts and taxi fare rejected with a receipt. My friends insurance paid her £50! At least it was something ! I need to start reading the fine print in tiny letters as insurance wasn’t what it used to be !!

I don't need 7+ emails for travel insurance. I need 1 with policy details and relevant contact info. Stop spamming your customers with useless emails

We had purchased motorhome broken into and multiple items stolen. This insurance company have been very unhelpful and, obviously, nothing is covered. Won't be using again.

Glad had this insurance for single trip only cause 'small print' excludes a lot. My claim for baggage lost was declined as insurance doesn't cover returning flight 🙃 god knows why would they make such unique rules. Will not recommend to anyone!

Our flight was cancelled for 24 hours and I have tried to make a claim but your claim system is so complicated to use so I have given up trying to make a claim. I will never use your company again or recommend it to anyone.

The usual insurance company policy of trying to get out of paying their claims or at least finding every little exclusion possible

I had to be kept in Hospital for 3 nights and I had to pay a Thai Bill off over £1400 by credit card as the Bangkok Hospital said that Explorer was not on their accredit list. So I had to pay by credit card. I collected all the paper work from the hospital to claim it back. That was now over a month I have sent in my claim form and all relevant paper work by email , I have only a reply saying thank you for your claim , yesterday I sent an email asking for an update but as from today no reply yet . I hope this will get some action

I get endless nonsense emails about absolutely nothing from this insurer. Then I need to make a small claim for being delayed for over 32hrs, it takes weeks to hear from them with no confirmation of recipes of my claim, no case number to track so you no it’s being looked at. And then out of the blue they email you cause they’ve found some clause not to pay due to the reason the airline was delayed. Do not use this insurer - what’s the point if they aren’t there to help you when things go bad - may as well have not had insurance and would have at least saved £50

Needed to make small claim but batted off to a third party claim company who did not respond to my emails. Eventually spoke to someone at your office who immediately batted me off again to claims company who are apparently too busy to answer the phone. I had one simple question but cannot find anyone who can answer it or pick up the phone!!

We have tried to make a claim, after an accident, through the online platform and have not received any confirmation that the claim has been received or heard back from anybody. We submitted the claim on 25th August 2022.

I’ve made a claim for a broken iPad screen 4 weeks ago and I still haven’t received any reply back. Not worth taking out with this company as you will be waiting like I am if you need to claim. I paid extra for Gadget insurance, to which I then find out if through a different company. These have just completely ignored me since.

Website link to make a claim doesn’t work. Emailed them questions regarding my claim and no response.

We got covid and have had to claim for our holiday, we can’t get hold of anyone, sent our claim 2 weeks ago and have heard nothing back. When buying it they were very helpful on the phone. If they could be as helpful with the claim I would appreciate it

This is very disappointing - I can't get through to any phone number or get any email response to make a claim.

Terrible company. No support during times like this. Maybe I should have read the cover in more detail but when presented so highly with 4 Stars and Platinum Cover never expected it not to cover when the FCO Advice change. Bunch of Con Artists. Most unhelpful Insurance Company going. Will take my business elsewhere and suggest everyone else does!
