The policy covered everything that I wanted it to.
The details of my policy seemed to cover my needs. So far I haven't needed to make a claim & so I am unable to say what rating I would have given if I had.

They were very informative! Great service!
We required full pregnancy coverage whilst traveling abroad. Columbus met all our requirements when other insurers couldn't. Great customer service and quick turn around with a detailed quotation. Highly recommend.

Seems ok but have never claimed.
Value of policy is average compared to others, so was considered ok for value. Was easy to set up after we worked out how to set the choices for a local area cruise. We finally decided to go with Columbus as it was underwritten by Lloyd's, who is well known in the industry.

So far so good. No claims have had to be made in the past. Lets hope it stays that way.
Have used Columbus quite a few time over the past ten years. Have not had any bad experiences in that time. If the situation ever arises when I do need to make a claim...Lets hope all ends well for me.

easy to use web site.
Only hiccup was that I entered the age of one of the insured as at the time of the trip, as they have a birthday next month and then it rejected the date of birth and had to go back and reenter.

Affordable Insurance for Seniors.
I was so pleased to come across Columbus Travel Insurance. I am an Australian Senior who had a cardiovascular stent 4 months ago. Apart from that I am healthy & active. My usual insurer would no longer insure me & others charged a huge additional premium which made it unaffordable. Columbus covered my health condition at a premium that was affordable for good cover. Easy to do online including medical check.
Thanks Columbus.

Easy and Quick
We wanted a policy that covered the little things that our credit card insurance didn't and Columbus was it. It was easy to see the benefits and sign up. Thankfully we didn't need to use it but had peace of mind if something happened we were covered.

Good vaule and excellent service
Columbus Direct was recommended to me by a colleague. The friendly staff followed up a query I had and got back to me in a timely manner. The policy was the cheapest one I came across and covered a sporting activity I needed covered for my partner (i.e. recreational kitesurfing) that other more expensive policies excluded.

Thanks for your wonderful assistance
I had a hassle free experience and was covered adequately on my recent business trip to South Korea. I thank all concerned for their assistance when I extended my stay and hence my cover and I will be using your service again, whenever I travel overseas.

Easy to purchase
It is a good policy. Had to get it to go to Europe.
Easy to buy it online and when I called the centre regarding my 457 visa they were amazing and answered to the point.

* The policy is a good value, comparable to others - still able to find better deals
* Policy was very easy to set up. I have been your customer for many years (as a part of the family) and rather then going through all of the details all over again - you should be able to pull the file out, check the deltas from the last time - it would make it even faster for your existing customers.
* Excellent customer support.

Easy and Affordable
Selecting the policy and paying for it was easy - but, as with all things, the proof will be if and when we need to make a claim. Hope it doesn't come to that. I've been burned by insurance companies before (not travel insurance), so I am wary. The experience up until now has been good - if it all goes south with a claim, I'll be back on here quick smart to revise my assessment.

Long time member - disappointed of service
NO! I am a life time member, I called approx 2 months ago to get advice should I wait just before I travel to pay renewal and if my 20% disc will be still valid. The girl I spoke to advised its better if I wait and she will record the conversation and my 20% discount will be on offer. I called to renew last week, the person I spoke to refused to give me discount.

Questions & Answers
Jenniwrenasked
Is the cost of an annual multi travel insurance for a couple (husband and myself) or is it individual.
1 answer
Columbus DirectColumbus Direct
Hi Jenni,
The price displayed on our online quotes is the total price for the number of travellers entered. So when requesting a quote for 2 people, the price displayed is the total price for both.
It’s worth noting that our policy cover limits and excesses apply per person. For Annual Multi-trip policies each adult is considered separately insured, and so you don’t have to be on the same trip for cover to apply.
Thanks

I have insured with you in the past. I am now 60yrs old with diabetes Type 1 and multiple sclerosis, with no admissions to hospital for more than 30 yrs. Can I still be covered if I wish to take out a policy?

I have previously had a policy with you. Now I have reached 60yrs, with both Type 1 diabetes & MS am I able to purchase travel insurance? I have not been in hospital for more than 30yrs & am well.

Hi Jenny,
We are often able to cover pre-existing medical conditions. We use a quick and easy medical screening process to assess cover for each customer's conditions individually.
Our screening process can be completed online. If you would prefer to speak to someone, I'd be happy to arrange a call for you. I've sent you a message with my contact details.
Thanks,
Casey (Customer Care)

Does your travel insurance policy cover the age over 80 years old?
2 answers
Columbus DirectColumbus Direct
Hi T C – thanks for your question. We can cover travellers up to and including the age of 84 on our single trip policies. Our Annual Multi-trip policies and some sports cover add-ons, however, are only available to those aged under 70. You can enter your trip details and travellers’ ages into our online quote engine at https://travel.columbusdirect.com.au to check what cover is available. Alternatively, feel free to give us a call on 1300 669 999 to discuss your situation with our customer care team in Sydney. We hope you find what you’re looking for!
Yes it does but charges extra $ because the customer is 80 yrs and older. They also have strict exclusions.
