Never use FastCover.

published

Absolutely disgraceful not honouring comprehensive cover.We had no pilot to fly our aircraft and FastCover deems this as no excuse for a cancellation claim. Travel insurance is waste of money.

Never Again

published

Absolutely useless with no assistance at all regarding COVID-19. Despite actually being overseas well before the pandemic was declared, I am gobsmacked at Fast Cover's lack of assistance. Never again.

This, my first travel claim was treated with delicacy and understanding by the claims officer and an amicable settlement was made by her well within the time stated origionally by her . I found her attitude comforting in a time of real upset to us.

Prompt processing of claim

published

Have always used Fast Cover for overseas travel insurance but had to claim for the first time this year due to my child being sick. Quite a bit of evidence was required but the online claims process was relatively straightforward, the team was prompt in getting back to me, outcome was in our favour. Thank you Fast Cover!

I took out insurance with FastCover on the recommendation of finder.com. Insurance premium paid in August 2022 to travel in August 2020. With the Covid19 situation that is now impossible. Have rung this insurer numerous times to cancel my policy and get a refund, have even emailed the resolutions department of the underwriter but no one can tell me what is happening with my paid premium. I was told that it had been put on hold and I asked for that to be confirmed in writing which has not happened as yet. Still don’t know if I can defer or get a refund, no one has emailed me with any details at all. I will certainly be taking further action if I don’t receive written confirmation.

Would Recommend

published

Would recommend this company hands down. I had absolutely no issues with them they were efficient, responsive and gave me my money back when I claimed. Making a claim with them was easy, although please be aware that they do ask for a lot of sufficient evidence and once I gave them all this evidence they happily refunded my claim which was for $4,500.

Very responsive in Virus Crisis

published

We took out this policy for the first time on the recommendation of a friend. It was value for money and included a medical condition that other companies charged an additional premium for. Due to Covid 19 we could not travel. This is, understandably, a difficult time for all in the travel industry attempting to help clients. In all the providers we had to contact Fast Cover were the quickest to reply, were able to offer a few options to us and answered our queries realistically both for us and their own business. We didn't make a claim so I can't comment on that aspect but we were able to credit our premium amount to use for future travel. With this experience, we will use them again

Important to have Travel Insurance

published

I felt the policy was good value but had difficulty in choosing a lesser excess. It was difficult to find and then would not allow for a 0 excess and conceded to choose a $100 excess which I was not too happy about.

We have used Fast Cover many times and in the past ended up speaking to a consultant. I guess this time I might have missed out on my loyalty discount as I didn't know how to enter that I had one.

Easy to get coverage and competitive pricing that you can tailor, I researched a few options. Also easy to make a claim. We got stuck in the typhoon in Japan. Will use again!

Made a claim - disingenuous response

published

Bags were delayed at the airport which held up a six night yacht charter by three nights. We claimed delay of journey and the taxi fares to collect our bags from the airport. Fastcover declined both and covered a small amount for emergency clothes while we waited for the bags to arrive. We had the highest level of cover.I gave them an opportunity to respond to my review and was referred to Australian Financial Complaints Authority. I don't recommend Fastcover.

Not Great, but Better than Most

published

The Policy was easy to set up and they responded by email immediately once I paid. They charge for add-ons e.g. skiing and cruises; but don't discount for non required items. No obvious option for the excess payment changes.
