I have been advised by my travel agent that the insurance company wont cancel and refund my insurance even though my trip is not going forward due to the pandemic. I would not recommend SureSave, as inflexible and not understanding.

Suresave are trying to keep premiums for travel insurance for travel that is no longer possible due to pandemic which has in effect been voided by pandemic. They are carrying no risk for cancellation, illness from other causes, travel delays, lost luggage but want to keep the premium while not being at risk for any claim. This is unconscionable conduct.

We purchased our comprehensive travel insurance on the recommendation of our travel agent. Our policy was taken out in September 2022 and when we had to cancel our trip due to Covid-19 all obligation on SureSave behalf were waived. Basically their response was we don’t cover pandemics - no recourse no chance to appeal.
Pretty sad when they are promoted by a travel agent and then just wash their hands of any liability to help.
Our insurance is now not worth anything, we can’t travel and no refund on policy. A complaint was lodged 11 days ago and no response.
Just poor service!

Whilst our claim was handled fairly quickly, we weren't happy with the outcome.
As travellers we aren't always aware of all things that might go wrong. Taking out insurance for overseas travel, is supposed to give us peace of mind. So it was a shock and disappointment to find we weren't covered for insolvency of wholesale accommodation provider used by our travel agent. We paid more than we budgeted for on this recent holiday which was supposed to be fun and relaxing but instead was marred by problems we did not foresee. We trusted our insurer Sure Save to protect us. We haven't saved anything by using them. But they sure did save by not compensating us. This was the first time we used Sure Save but it's likely we won't be doing so again.

Surfboard damaged by airline. Numerous phonecalls/documentation/emails required, sometimes twice for the same document. Quotes were obtained for repair or replacement which took time and travel. The claim was denied ... 'sporting goods not covered'. Could've told me that on day one and saved a lot of running around and precious time! Never again. Would've given no stars but not given the option.

No response from claims after ringing and emailing had issue before hit some response and they do the same thing
I submitted claim waiting for claims people to ring my back

A also submitted a claim with suresave and they said the same thing it seems like the pattern is the same and you ring them sit on hold for 30 minutes and then they hang up

Its been three months since I lodged my claim I still awaiting a resolution. Over this time:
- they changed my claim number without telling me
- theyve lost emails I sent
- theyve not been in touch within time frames theyve advised
- theyve not returned phone calls
- theyve not returned my most recent complaint phone call

They have provided a terrible service. At the very least they should return phone calls and let me know what the hold up is.

Our travel agent booked our travel insurance for our cruise though suresave we took the higher policy with zero excess. We missed 2 ports on our cruise. We joined a Facebook page before leaving on our cruise on our return a lot of fellow passengers were discusseing that they claimed between $50 and $100 per person per port unfortunately suresave does not cover this. And if we had of took insurance with one of these other companies we would have save between $20 to $30 dollars and would have able to claim missed ports. If cruising look around and compare

I've used this company on and off for nearly 30 years. Their service is failing spectacularly at present. Instead of fixing my renewal with the correct policy (advised 3 weeks after being charged) they've spent 4 months delaying and not dealing with the problem. Now refusing to cancel the wrongly charged for policy.

My son broke his collarbone while snow skiing in Japan. Sure Save have continued to deny our claim. Each time we send through the relevant documents Sure Save find another reason for us to re-send the same documents and more reasons not to pay the claim.

This is the first time I’ve used Sure Save and will never use them again. Injured my hip coming down a few stairs after staying at a hotel in London Victoria. Saw a private Specialist and emailed them 3 letters from him outlining the investigations and treatment needed. Initially they agreed to the MRI and follow up. However, they changed their mind and attempted to make me travel against medical advice. Obviously I refused. They never come back to you when they say they will. It’s now delayed my trip home and treatment. All they seem concerned about is the cost of scans and not treating the individual with dignity.

Be aware - should you make a claim there claims side Cerberus, will do everything in their power to frustrate you so you end up not bothering. They are incompetent and use delaying tactics to continually muck you around. I would suggest there are much better insurers you can use.
