Trip cancelled due to Coronavirus restrictions and NO REFUND.

published

We got a quote on the 28th January and purchased the policy on 4th February 2020. Our trip was cancelled due to the coronavirus and I called the company to arrange a refund or credit as I was informed that as I had purchased the policy after the 1st February 2020 there was no refunds or credits as the virus widely known.
Not only did we purchase the policy, we also paid the extra cost due to pre existing conditions, our couples policy cost $289.
We travel twice a year and have used this company a few times, however, we had never had to deal with their customer service which we’re very rude and unhelpful.

If I could give this company 0 stars, I would.

published

We bought gold cover travel insurance before the cut off date for COVID-19 coverage. The website stated that we wouldn't be covered if we decided to cancel on our own volition and DFAT hadn't changed the travel recommendation at time of boarding. It wasn't until we arrived in Sri Lanka that tours and flights we're cancelled. We put a claim in for cancellation and curtailment. Our claim was rejected for no good reason. We will be taking this matter further. Steer clear of this company.

Insure and go have lost me as a customer...forever

While it was very easy to buy this insurance product nothing else has been easy and I now know this product is not value for money but a typical insurance product with no customer satisfaction considered.

Will not provide refund on annual multi trip policy despite Government travel restrictions stopping overseas travel

published

Purchased our policy a couple of months before the government stopped all travel overseas, meaning that we cannot utilise the policy at all. We have tried numerous times to get them to respond even noting that fellow insurers (NRMA travel) are offering partial refunds on annual multi trip policies that are not more than six months old. But impossible to get them on phone and they keep issuing their stock standard email which is to deny any refund if it's more than 14 days since the policy was purchased. This response does not make sense with an annual policy!
We've purchased policies from them many times before with our travels and have never claimed. Will NEVER USE THEM AGAIN!

Class action against Insure & go

published

All of us should put in a class action against insure & go. Same as the below responses, i payed $189 dollars for my travel insurance in August 2022 for my over seas trip this April. Same response from them was i should have cancelled in the 14 day cooling of period in August 2022. The Coronavirus was not heard of back then. I have rang them and they stated basically to bad what a joke, and it is crimmal what they are doing. My response back from the complaints department was sorry we can not assist you because you had two weeks to cancel your trip back in August 2022. I wish ill feeling against this company and they can go to hell Regards Russell from Perth Wa

Never insure with this company

I purchased an insure policy in early Feb'20 for International travel in April'20. The travel got cancelled due to COVID19. This company has refused refund, what a RIP OFF. They would not even allow me to use the policy at a future date.

No transfer of dates

published

Due to government travel restrictions we were unable to travel at the end of April. I contacted Insureandgo and asked if I could transfer my policy to a new date in April 2021 as I assume travel restrictions would be eased. Not possible was the reply. So one unused policy, what a rip off. I had another policy with Covermore for a trip in March 2020 and they advised me I could “slide” my dates forward to a time when I felt I could travel. Now that is CUSTOMER Service.

Covered on policy by coronavirus but refused premium pushback

published

Had trip planned for Morocco Portugal and Cruise which was cancelled due to coronavirus but was refused by Insure and Co to pushback policy dates. Apparently Insure and co changed their policy re pushback of dates in Mid March which enabled them to steal thousands of dollars from policy holders Totally unfair due to no fault of ours and Insure and Co took advantage of this to disallow pushbacks which they had previously allowed. Interesting Insure and Co were top recommendation by Choice magazine but now Choice do NOT recommend them. I have emailed complaint to Insure and Go (complaint no. 342715) to no avail to date. I am not hopeful of a positive response. Will definitely not insure with them again - so BAD!!!!

Insure and Go is screwing its very customers during the pandemic

published

We insured a recent overseas trip with Insure and Go. We have had to cancel a cruise, a hotel and airfare. Insure and Go advised us that they will pay only 10% of the cancellation fees before they then also charge you the excess. So that means that by making a claim we are out of pocket hundreds of dollars even with their cover. This is classic insurance industry practice of pretending your covered and then sticking it to you when you make a claim. Do not take travel insurance with Insure and Go. We had similar issues with Covermore when cancelling an earlier trip. Travel insurers are unscrupulous in how they treat customers when you actually have to make a claim.

Excellent service

published

Had planned a cruise through the Antarctic peninsula with my elderly parents and mother in law. Flights from Australia to Argentina and then a 11 day cruise. After more than 18 months planning, just 6 weeks prior to the trip my parents had to cancel due to back surgery for my dad. Due to the late cancellation of their travel, we got none of the fares refunded for my parents.

While the process for the claim took some time in terms of gathering the correct information, once all the documentation had been received by Insure and Go, they turned the claim around very quickly and paid our claim in full. It definitely pays to have the right insurance.

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.

International Travel Insurance - Gold Cruise

Would we be covered by our insurance for a refund fee of $900 per person ($1800)for overseas flights? Policy taken out 15/1/2020. We do not wish for a credit on these flights as we will not be able to travel in the prescribed time given by the airline

Hi Grannyma, thanks for reaching out. It's impossible for me to tell without knowing all the details of your claim, but based on your purchase date, you are eligible to claim assuming your level of cover was Silver or Gold.

Please see the below link which includes a list of the documents you will need to submit along with your claim, and the contact details you will need to submit your claim by email or post.
