Will not budge on cancelled trip offer to future credit.

published

All Clear which is part of Insure and Go have been terrible in making excuse after excuse to take our travel insurance premium even though our trip was cancelled and made NO claims. We were told we could transfer our policy ( plus some fees ) to a new trip later in the year, but today declined flat. Very poor company and totally untrustworthy. Have lost our business forever, costing them far more than the latest premium. What a stupid way to do business...annoy people...lose future business and drive customers to look for ETHICAL companies, if there are any in this business. Plain DUMB.

Do Not purchase insurance from Insure & Go

published

Purchased a policy for our Bali Trip in May, Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic all international travel is banned. Contacted Insure & Go to transfer my policy and was told that ''They aren't offering transfers due to the travel ban being enforced on the 18th March'. How does this make sense? If the travel ban wasn't enforced we would still be travelling!! Worst customer service & terrible ethics for a company. Don't waste your time!

Scam artists

Been trying to claim for missed ports on my cruise back in Dec due to natural disasters. My friends in the same cabin and who went through the same experience were all refunded by different insurance companies. This company refuses to pay out, claiming that since the boat was docked (delayed) in one port, it would not count the ports I missed. My rebuttal letter was pretty much ignored by them. Been chasing this up for months now but I wont stop.

What a Bunch of Pirates!!!

published

Our holiday to Bali in September had to be cancelled because of the global pandemic. Agoda gave us a full refund for our accomodation, Jetstar gave us credits for our flights (to be used in the future) and then I contacted this bunch of pirates to cancel our travel insurance, which obviously we can't use now and their reply? Sorry but you get zip back from us despite the insurance not being used! It was $128.50 for the gold policy and I want it back. I will be taking this up with the department of fair trading once the pandemic is over, of that they can be certain and I will never use this company again! :(

Terrible

published

so the policy was pretty good, covered all the things that we may have needed, if our trip went ahead. our trip has been cancelled and we can reschedule with a full refund if needed. Not with insure&go. No refund. No reschedule available. Why, cause we applied for the policy 2 months before sailing, and because the cancellation was requested outside the cooling off period, you feel that it is right that you keep our money?

Profiteering from pandemic

published

Having booked my first o/s trip to Ireland l paid $270 for travel insurance. When l talked with them about refund / credit for future use l was told to contact complaints dept. Totally unacceptable moral behavior considering what is happening due to corona.Its blatant profiteering and no wonder insurance companies have such a lowly reputation.

Never use and take this further..Rip Off .

published

We insured our trip with Insure and Go last year for our trip in May 2020 to USA. We have been lucky and received credits from everyone.(ie) QANTAS, Disney Cruises and other accommodations in USA for 18mths. We paid top dollar for Gold Policy as my husband is over 70. I rang the company and said we are happy to have credit and changed to next year. No. No refund bad luck. Yet if we’d got Coronavirus overseas we would be covered. We would have cost this company more that the $1900 we paid for policy. This is disgusting. We cannot fly on government orders. Yet they take our money. Will take this further. I’m sure many have same problem

Won’t pay out on death of mother

published

We had to cam so our trip because my mother became seriously ill and passed away the day after we were meant to leave for our overseas trip. InsureandGo have fought me every step of the way, despite receiving signed statements from her oncologist and GP, her death certificate and her entire medical records. The way they have dealt with me has made an awful situation even more traumatic.

I cannot take my trip to Germany for a wedding in April as there is a global pandemic. Insure and go inform me i cannot be refunded or receive any kind of voucher for the future because I am outside of my 14 day cooling off period. What an horrendous act of in these times. No refund, no voucher, no fault of my own, no service and no money back.

Purchased a policy that's now worthless & no hint of a refund/credit.

published

I purchased a travel insurance policy as a repeat customer from Insure & Go in November 2022 for travel to Italy in July/August 2020 well before the current pandemic. Due to COVID19 travel restrictions I'm unable to use it. Insure & Go have refused to refund or even credit even though I will not be making any claims on the policy. Disgraceful behaviour & in my opinion theft as a service or product was not provided. The excuse provided was the time is now outside of the 14 day cooling off period.....I'm not buying a f%$&ing house!! Will never purchase from them again & would NOT recommend this company.

Absolutely disgusting as to i cannot get my refund to due to covid 19. In Australia we have restricted travel but it would appear that Insure & Go couldn't care less. Will never use this company again! The review asks where i travelled to? no where. however i cant get my refund! Some consideration from this company would be good!

Really Disappointing - Been Using them for Years..!

published

Had 2 Travel Policies with them. As I write this I am suppose to be oversea's, but due to Covid-19 Travel Restrictions am obviously still in Australia. Also had another upcoming policy with them for Travel in June to Europe for 2 weeks (which is also cancelled). Called to see if they would be offering any sort of Waiver/Refund on obvious "unused" Policy's and was met with a "No, Sorry". Really disappointing as I have been a repeat customer for many years and would have thought that they would be flexible in some respect given the current travel restrictions Worldwide. I guess this will stick in my mind when things return to normal as I travel overseas in the future. Would I use them again...probably not.

Rip off - won't provide a credit or refund

published

Yes, we are in the same boat took travel insurance to travel in April 2020, air flights were cancelled by carrier early March 2020 and then the travel ban occurred. We tried contacting the Insure and Go contact centre by phone a number of times and also by email - still no response to an email sent over 3 weeks ago.

Managed to get through by phone and was told I could not get a refund or credit. We've lost all trust and credit ability in the organisation, obviously their not thinking about their customers or their employees. Is our experience a taste of what it would be like if we were to make a n insurance claim?

The organisation needs customers to exist and to keep your employees in a job - rethink your actions!

International Travel Insurance - Silver Cruise

My policy was purchased 19/2/20. My query is did Insureandgo know when i purchased this worthless policy that due to the pandemic they would not be liable for any claims. In other words they took my money for jam. As far as I am aware the pandemic was declared 31/1/20. I feel that should have been informed at purchase. My cruise dates were from 22/5/20 to 5/6/20.

Hi Keith, It's more of, if you did travel and caught the virus that you are not covered. But our dispute is that it doesn't matter when you purchased the policy you haven't traveled yet, We all should be getting a refund. I have read that other travel insurance companies are refunding. As it is not our fault that all travel has been shut down. InsureandGo stand to make thousands of dollars if they do not give everyone back there money. I have put in a formal complaint to the ombudsman now, not just for me but for everyone. I hope you and others can do the same, the more complaints the better chance on getting a refund.

Hi Tony. Thanks for that. We all need to complain to the ombudsman. I have. Pauline

If it's good enough for companies like Woolworths Insurance to refund the policies then it should be the same for all major companies. I'm seeking clarification from them on my 2 policies purchased for travel this year then I will too go the the ombudsman. In a spirit of goodwill from them I'd even be happy with credit for my future travel.

Ellenbeeasked

InsureandGo Australia

Why will you not cover for trip cancellation when your Silver Cruise PDS states what we are covered for -

Section A Cancelling your trip before departure
i) you cannot travel because if government restrictions after an epidemic

Our travel agent will only offer a credit note less $1300 rebooking fee and we DO NOT wish to travel at any future date.

I will be lodging a complaint with office of fair trading

Anna J.InsureandGo Australia

Hi Leigh, if this is a COVID-19 related question, I'm afraid that if you purchased your policy after 4:00pm on 31st January, there is an exclusion for claims related to coronavirus, as by this point it was a known event, and it would be expected that the policy was entered into with a knowledge of the situation. We communicated this through a travel alert, linked to in the orange bar at the top of the website. Please see the below link (original post) for more information:
https://www.insureandgo.com.au/travel-alerts/global-coronavirus-outbreak.jsp

More up to date information can be found below:

To formally lodge a complaint and request an investigation of your case, please email [email protected] with your policy number.

Thanks, Anna

Thanks Anna, but my policy was purchased in October 2022. And therefore I should be covered. So why am I not covered? This is not good enough!

Tania E.asked

InsureandGo Australia

I have a family policy, two of those covered are 17 yr old and the rest are over 18
If i was claiming cancellation for my family of 6 who are all named on the policy is it $100 per person excess?
Does the two 17 yr olds who are covered free under myself also charged the $100 excess?
so would it be $600 ( 6 ppl) or $400 for the 4 adults only and the 2 x 17yr olds are not charged excess?

10 answers

You can not claim for cancellation unless you have a good reason for it and proof. So if you can change the date for when you know, when you can travel again, that's if you booked the policy before 4.30pm on the 31/1/20 that fine. But after that date, forget it you lose your money and policy. I hope this helps.

Booked and paid for Policy Nov 2022 before Corona-virus was known. All travel was ceased and refunds given by booked agencies so of course Insure was not necessary. Insure and Go flatly denied us a refund or even a credit like many other furious customers outlining no cancellation clause

Tania, yep everybody in the same boat, we will lose our policy and money. That's right on insure and go they should be refunding everyone for there future holidays that are booked with them. I am waiting for a call from them as you have probably seen there response to my review that they want to get in contact with me. I have sent them my details in private message. If they get in contact with me in the next couple of days or if they don't and also if I won't be happy with the results when they do call, I will be taking the next step and filing a complaint to the ombudsman, as they have instructed me to do when I called them yesterday. I suggest that every one else should do the same.
