About True Traveller:

True Traveller - Travel Insurance designed by Travellers

When travelling overseas, the one thing you should never skimp on is your travel insurance cover, as should things go wrong you want the very best cover for you and your possessions.

At The True Traveller, we’re used to advising people on travelling all around the world, and due to feedback from our customers we’ve changed our insurance website, made it even better value and extended the range of products.

On Single Trips, we offer three Policies called True Value, Traveller and Traveller Plus. True Value is designed for travellers under 40 years of age, and is designed for last minute travellers and backpackers. The Traveller policy, our most popular, is designed for holiday makers and adventurous travellers alike, and Traveller Plus gives enhanced medical and cancellation cover.

On our Multi Trip Policies, again we offer the Traveller policy valid for unlimited trips throughout the year for durations up to 30 days, and the Traveller Plus policy which offers enhanced cover for unlimited trips lasting up to 70 days. We also have a budget True Value Policy for travellers under 40 years of age.

We’ve tried to get the prices as keen as possible on all our insurances. This means on the Single Trip and Multi-Trip you have the option to exclude Baggage Cover as this may well be covered in your Home Contents insurance; you also have the option to add-in different activity packs. The Traveller Pack covers 92 of the regular holiday activities which you will get involved in, and covers clerical/non-manual work as standard. The Adventure Pack covers a further 41 activities and is designed for the more adventurous traveller and backpacker, covering trekking to 4,600m, as well as volunteer work and manual work. The Extreme and Ultimate Packs covers all the more extreme and ultimate adventures. The Extreme covers trekking over 4,600m to any altitude, as well as Scuba Diving to 50M. The Ultimate covers Hang Gliding, Mountaineering and Polo to name just three of the Ultimate adventures!

The policy was easy to purchase, but when my flight was cancelled and we had to fly out two days later, I contacted them as I was confused about how to claim and in which category. They said that recuperating the cost of the lost nights in the hotel was not really covered, I was lucky I didn't incur a hotel fee due to having to wait 2 nights to fly, but I could "try" to claim in one of the categories (the guidance wasn't very good). I could not even try to claim in the deadline time for delayed departure because the forms are impossible to do on a phone. So basically it covered nothing. Not great.

Hi Thanks for your review. Travel insurance covers lots of risks. Medical is the main part, but it also covers your belongings, any cancellation fees you incur if you cancel your trip, and fees if you arrive late at the airport through no fault of your own. It also covers your liability, so if you’re staying in a hotel and damage something accidentally and the hotel want you to pay for it, well you can claim for that. What travel insurance doesn’t cover is risks which are covered elsewhere. If an airline cancels your flight, they must arrange an alternate flight for you or refund you in full. If they cancel within 14 days, they must also offer compensation. That’s the law in the UK and the EU. If you have booked a package holiday, then your travel agent must refund you for the whole value of the package if the airline cancels at the last minute, including hotels, car hire etc. If you make your own holiday arrangements, and book hotels, cars etc., yourself, then you have no rights for any problems which may occur. So, if the airline cancels the flight and you’re get cancellation fees from the hotel, then that’s something you must pay. The airline won’t pay up as this is called “consequential loss”. If it’s all booked with a travel agent, they must put it right by law (The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 in the UK, or the EU Package Travel Directive in Europe). Travel insurance also does not cover consequential loss. There is a phrase used by travel agents, which is “Be your own travel agent, and be on your own”. Booking travel arrangements separately can be cheaper than booking a package, but you do then have to accept the fact that if it all becomes unravelled, you may run into difficulties.

I needed to extend an existing policy. There was some small glitch and I got instant help when I rang True Traveller that allowed me to continue online to buy the policy.

It was really great friendly service. I had to make adjustments to the policy I had just booked and they were so helpful, speedy and efficient. It's always can-do rather than can't-do. I would never go anywhere else.

Their website was so easy to use. Price was very good. I realised after I needed to add something on. I contacted them through email and they got straight back to me and the problem was sorted straight away. I was very pleased with their service.

Excellent service. I made an error on my policy and although a little disconcerted when I rang and was told I needed to email, the issue was sorted within a few hours of the email being sent. I can only hope the aftersales service as as good.

Hi there Thanks for your review. Yes, I regret for material changes to policies, we do need instructions in writing so we have an audit trail. But any email to TT which is received before 6PM London time, 365 days a year, is replied to on the same day. The True Traveller Team

I love the flexibility of true traveller, meaning that I can take out and extend policies when already travelling abroad.
