Always Value for Money

published

I have used 1 Cover on many occasions over the past few years. It has always been very easy to arrange, on line. I have always believed the travel cover was good value for money for my needs. My most recent trip away resulted in me making my first ever Claim on 1 Cover re the excess associated with a minor rental car accident. 1 Cover handled the Claim process most courteously and expeditiously, and left me very pleased with their service. Communication by the Claims Officer was exemplary. 1 Cover is a most professional organisation in my view, with excellent processes.

Do not buy from this company

published

Have just discovered there are so many exclusions with this policy that it is not worth having. If governments tell you not to travel than your insurance should kick in and pay for airfares etc that need to be cancelled. They have your money and getting interest for ages before you travel. I have had many policies with them where I have never claimed so they get money for nothing but when you need to claim they won’t pay. Stay away from them.

Exclusions galore and fine print

published

Purchased comprehensive travel insuranve the day we purchased flights to America in July 2022. Discover in the fine print so many exclusions. This cover is almost valueless and I will be contacting AFCA. Have to cancel trip and chase refunds from airlines and accommodation and not refunded travel insurance cost either. DO NOT USE!!!!

Travel Insurance Scam.

published

In times of crisis the scammers hide behind policies and take your money. Airlines and hotels are refunding some money, but 1Cover is not interested in helping. I will never insure with these guys again.

Coronavirus

published

I chatted online yesterday and was assured we would be covered for the Coronavirus. Whoever I was chatting with said they are not like other Insurance Companies. I save my Chat from them to have this in writing now just wondering???? Had to put in I had traveled but we have not as that is why I chatted with someone to see if they covered our upcoming trip. Not sure how to rate them either

Another Pathetic Insurance Product/Company - Coronavirus

published

We purchased travel insurance Policy with 1Cover May 2022 because of such positive ratings only to find Coronavirus is exempted despite this becoming known 7 months after purchase. Most industries, including banks, are working to support their customers during this difficult period - with the very clear exception of the insurance industry. Well - good luck 1Cover with future sales with such negative ratings. I hope your staff are looking for new jobs as I'm sure this company won't be around much longer.

Claim more than likely going to be rejected. Won’t be using 1cover again if claim rejected

published

Nope. See title of the review as I won’t use again as claim will be rejected, had to cut trip short to look after the health and well being of my family. But insurance companies are more interested in profits than customers interest

No customer service. No response

published

Due to the Coronavirus I cancelled my holiday. I received a full refund from airline and travel agent.

I have tried to contact 1Cover more than 4 times electronically to advise the insurance is no longer required. Yet no response.

They have taken my money and didn’t have to provide the service.....there is a word for that.

Cannot travel without it but like all insurance policies I feel like it’s overpriced.

Wish policy came with no excess, I have never had to make a claim so cannot comment of service. We have used this company twice, once in 2022 & now early 2020, in 2022 we could purchase policy with no excess.

They don't refund on crisis and epidemics which is unbelievable for an apparent insurance company. Lost $1000 money on accommodation I had booked way back in December before the corona virus outbreak reached Italy and was told they won't cover for corona virus. Wont be trusting 1cover for travel insurance ever again!

Very disappointed in 1Cover

published

I took out my travel insurance on 1 Jan - well before the corona virus epidemic. Now I find I am not covered for medical or cancellation for any epidemics.

I have used 1Cover for many years - and I certainly will not do so again.

Very disappointing!!!!

I think 1 Cover should step up and provide some cover for those of us who took out our policy before the virus became a known event.

Questions & Answers

Marie B.asked

Travel Insurance

I am also wishing to change my dates booked river cruise and touring for August this year. Qantas has since cancelled out flights and given us a credit which we will use next year. Our river cruise has also given us a credit for next year. I was advised by 1 cover that we cannot get a refund or a credit as we had to do that within 14 days of taking out the cover. I took it out in September, 2022. I always go with 1 cover and have never claimed. All I want is refund or a credit Why won't they discuss it further with me. The girl who took my call wouldn't put me through to anyone else and was very rude

Hi Marie B. I am in the same position you are in. I am more frustrated that this company will not acknowledge any correspondence whether via phone, email or their message service. As you can read on this site many other travelers like us in the same position. Maybe time to add to the complaints on the afca website like others have been saying to. https://www.afca.org.au/make-a-complaint/complain.

Marie, they are now offering vouchers for 18 months credit or a major portion premium refund, or at least that was my experience after complaining to Dept Of fair trading, i did not claim on the policy as i knew i would have no chance of any refund of premium if i did and it was obvious they were not paying anything in relation to corona virus, i would contact ACCC.

Maria K.

I am waiting to hear from 1cover re my cancelled flight to Europe including a European river cruise.. I have not been notified of any offered vouchers or possible refund. This is frustrating. Surely, there has been time for the company to decide and communicate a policy to address the concerns of its clients. John.

Comprehensive Travel Insurance

Why aren't 1cover refunding money for a risk that will never happen? After months no phone contact and useless bulk generated email. Other companies ARE returning the full premium and answering phones. Australian Seniors is one. Never when I read the clause about pandemics did I think that this would include stealing the full premium when I would never get off the ground. Good business model for the future guys. Theft and no service. Vote with your feet and tell all your friends how great this company is. Why cant we ring? Don't give us the rescuing people story any longer!

Asked the same question myself three weeks ago - no risk to the company because we can't even leave the house for a trip to a country whose borders are closed anyway. But have heard nothing other than I'm in a queue and they will contact me in turn. Very poor customer service.
