“Dissapointed. Requested my policy details to be sent by post, four weeks later I am still Waiting. Despite phoning.”

“Fine if you don't have to claim for anything, then you get the run-around, passed from one company to another, fill out endless forms and still left in the dark whether they will pay up or not. I would go for a company who you can trust.”

“Nt a straight forward claims process, had to go through multiple layers of claims record, no email way to get the response. Also very small print about gadget claims and simply rejected without a standard process. Not happy at all and I will not deal with this company again even given me a free of cost.”

“I have a claim from last September when I was hospitalised in Spain. Explorer haven't paid as yet despite having platinum cover. They have guaranteed the payment to them but not paid. I am getting official letters for the amount from the hospital for me to pay. When I ring customer services they don't help and I get passed around to medical assistance, Allianz and a claim handling centre.”

“Insurance is insurance, inundated with silly emails from some idiot named Ian that thinks he’s my friend, the only reason I didn’t block him was I wasn’t is he was ever going to be needed rest assured as soon as this trip is over he will be blocked and I won’t be using you again”

“Insurance seemed fine, but you need to unsubscribe from their emails. Almost every day they seemingly send something irrelevant. A very strange business model.”

“I have asked Explorer a number of times for a policy refund which is what reputable insurers have done with their customers, due to my whole trip/flight being cancelled by Covid19 restrictions. (not the cancelled trip to Australia, and all that may entail, but just the fee for the unused policy...this is what I have asked for). Completely ignored.”

“Make sure you read the small print so when you have to go into hospital in an emergency don't phone a doctor first phone the ins company as if not you can't claim. Beware.”

“You can never really know how good a service is until you have to depend on it. This company looked good, probably is but due to the coronavirus MAYBE inundated with calls. MY situation ? ... My BA flight was cancelled and so I was within the 14 day cooling off period for Explorer Travel Ins. I emailed them to cancel and refund and confirm email me back, as I spent over 25 mins listening to the phone ring and the words "Im sorry, all lines are busy at the moment" 14th March 2020 Im ringing again and so far its 19 mins 25 secs and still no answer. 20 mins now and the phone just hung up on me. like I said ... YOU DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD A COMPANY IS UNTIL YOU HAVE TO DEPEND ON IT. Still trying to contact them or get a reply... anything... something.”

“Got good deal for 12 day cruise to the Persian gulf for Jan 2020 so inquired about a 8 day cruise around the Mediterranean and got a quote twice the cost of the Persian one so not very consistent”

“My expectation was that my insurance would cover me for a missed flight connection. If I had only read the small print more carefully and realised that an insurance company would find a way out of paying.”
