Previously used Globelink. I am satisfied with the policy and its contents. I found the tone of the person to whom I spoke when renewing the policy unfriendly, curt and overly official. Having inferred that to be the case the tone softened and I felt I was being handled more as a customer.

You can purchase this travel insurance after leaving your home country, and choose to be medivac'ed to the UK, SA, AU or NZ, all good. The medical side of the insurance is fairly typical except they have sensible pre-existing condition rules - a rarity. The baggage side of the insurance is pitiful in this day of DSLRs, smart phones, tablets and laptops. You can pay a high additional premium to raise the cover but it remains below the cost of many laptops.

Thank you for your feedback, a lot of our customers have valuable items insured separately under specialist gadget insurers or on their home contents policy so we do offer the option to add specified cover is this is needed for your travels.

I have only given a rating of 3 as, so far, I have not made a claim so cannot in all all honesty rate that part of the service I have not experienced. I can state that I am completely happy with the cover provided and the ease of dealing with Globelink who we have used for years now and have never had a situation that was not handled in a friendly and professional manner. Would I recommend Globelink? Yes definitely.

The web site was easy to use and very effective at taking my money. It remains to be seen if Globelink are acceptable when it comes to paying out in the event of a claim

Very helpful when confirming what the policy actually covered. Of course the real test is how things are in the event of a claim, hopefully I will not find out!

Good presentation of options for customising cover. However, the addition of some make the over all price more expensive than all-inclusive rivals so I opted out.

Supplying good travel cover whilst keeping the price reasonable is one of our top priorities. We wish you a safe trip.

Well. I actually signed up with you guys again because it was easiest, not because I particularly enjoyed my previous experience. I feel you make it very hard to make a claim and it's just silly all the stuff you have to fill in when you already HAVE all my data. If I could have come up with someone else I would have moved on, but hey. So let's see how your second chance goes :) I really hope you will modernize your claims process so I can make a claim online rather than go through printing which is just hopelessly old fashioned.

The process of getting holiday insurance was prompt and efficient - apart from the agent dealing with my call, who made me repeat my name, and spell it, 4 times! She wasn't friendly or helpful, blaming the quality of the line for the fact that she couldn't hear me well - there was a lot of background chatter which didn't help. She needs to do a customer service course to improve her cold and brusque tones and communication skills.

We are sorry you found the call to the sales office unsatisfactory, we will continue to do our best to keep office background noise to a low level to help our staff clearly address the needs on the customer.

The person that did my person was very helpful and polite, BUT, if your form on the internet had allowed me to purchase on line then I would not have had to telephone from Spain to England.

Happy with GITI, but what a nightmare the website. Obviously been designed by a geek with a 10 foot screen ! Continually having to move up and down to answer questions and discover what they want. Never did ask what the out patient operation was for ( cataracts 10 months ago should hardly affect the premium ).

I was content with GLOBELINK until I realised that there was a rival bid by a company with lower charges. I have therefore withdrawn from Globelink

I have no quibbles with the customer service team who are, as always, very helpful. My criticisms lie with the ridiculous medical screening process. The firm dealing with this has changed EVERY YEAR. Every year the same condition has either been free, 8 pounds, 300 pounds, free but with large excess...you get the drift! This year because of a recent operation, I was refused cover altogether unless I accepted a quote of over 2000 pounds! So, very reluctantly, I am travelling not only without that cover but without cover for the other minor conditions as well. I am exceedingly unhappy. I also dislike having to contact medical screening first and being passed from pillar to post: very expensive phoning from Spain. So, Globelink telephone staff are very good but the way the product is being sold is very frustrating and the price no longer good value. Linda Arthurs

Used Globelink last year for annual travel insurance and thought they offered a good deal. Wanted to re-new this year for the same insurance and somewhat disappointed that the price had nearly double because I was a year older, although I had no medical conditions to declare, as before. I have been given a 10% discount and decided to re-new my policy, but may well search around when it comes to re-newing this time next year. They were prompt in responding to my query about the price, but really didn't answer what I was asking.
