Direct Travel Insurance Reviews

Recently made a claim due to infected misquito bites on my legs while in Crete. Attending doctor contacted Direct Travel, everything was straight forward from there on in. Claim paid in full, no problems. We paid the doctor our excess and everything else was taken care of through my claim. I even got a courtesy call on my return to make sure I was ...  Read the complete review

We had a very poor experience with Travel Insurance Web when it came to making a claim. My wife suffered complications in early pregnancy and we had to cancel a trip. Travel Insurance Web eventualy rejected the claim on the basis that we knew she was pregnant when we booked the trip. It would have been nice to know when taking out the insurance that they view pregnancy as a pre-existing medical condition. If that wasn't possible, it would have been good if they told us at the beginning of the process - not 4 months (and countless communications) after we reported the cancellation. Keep awy from Travel Insurance Web. They advertise that they are cheap ... and they are.

I uncovered them after reading a newspaper article and insurance comparison websites seemed to ...  Read the complete review

Do not even think to contact these people by phone or email. Those quotes are much higher than what you find online. Upgrading your policy is a rip off. Also-the discount you get to renew your policy is worse than simply taking out a complete new policy.

So-great company-but avoid email/phone contact!

Last week I booked a holiday over the internet, it is for one week to Lanzarote in June. I booked the apartment over the internet but I booked my flights with a travel agent because I wanted transfers from my house to the airport included. I didn't take their holiday insurance as it would have cost £16 each, I know that's not too ...  Read the complete review

I have been fortunate to be able to book a few holidays and breaks on line over the last two years in order to take advantage of cheap flights. The process is so easy. Finding accommodation is simple though my husband and I decided to know exactly what we were looking for in order to refine our search, i.e. country, hotel, apartment or villa. ...  Read the complete review

We have used Direct Line for our travel insurance for some time &,when it comes to selling you a policy, they are extremely competitive on price & the whole process is quick & quite painless. However, they can fall short when it comes to settling a claim. Being a telephone based company they obviously keep paper work to a minimum but this has ...  Read the complete review

Having booked my first independant holiday (ie myself as opposed to via a travel agent), I felt I should sort out travel insurance so I checked Directline's website and got a quote for two 25 year olds for 5 days in Amsterdam at £55.

I read about this company in the Daily Mail some weeks ago and they had a very good write up so I took the number down for future refernce. I am so glad I did, a week in Ibiza for their premium service for my family (2 adults 2 children) was only a total of £30. Last time we went away I paid more than this EACH for myself and my husband. ...  Read the complete review
