Feel Cheated

published

This company has kept my payment for travel insurance even though they are not providing me a service due to travel restrictions and cancellations caused by COVID 19 pandemic. No option to use at a later date. Seems fraudulent to me.

They kept my money for a service not provided

published

Our cruise and flights to the cruise and back were cancelled because of COVID-19 and level 4 travel ban. Tick Travel Insurance refused to allow us to cancel our travel insurance and took our money for a service that they have not provided, although we had absolutely no control over the cancellation of our travel.

No compassion

Company refuses to refund travel insurance despite travel bans caused by Carona virus. Insurance was purchased last year before Carona Virus existed. At a time when people are put of work and need assistance this shows a complete disregard towards people.

DO NOT USE TICK

published

DO NOT USE TICK EVER!!! You only have to look at previous reviews to see how bad this company is. Emailed them about cancelling policy over 3 weeks ago 29th march as trip was cancelled for mid april. It took until the 20th of april for them to get back to me to let me know i was now outside the window to make a claim. 3 WEEKS FOR 1 EMAIL, and now conveniently im unable to make a claim. But its truly amazing when i emailed them back yesterday they gotten back to me within 1 DAY. I find that unbelievable. There are a few words to describe companies like this. JOKE

Tick are an absolute nightmare and do everything possible not to process a claim

published

WA - you send them the same info multiple times and they can't even be bothered to read it. Instead they delay your claim, multiple time' by coming back multiple times and asking for the information you've already provided them - multiple times. To have the person processing the claim say they have no access to my submitted claim or my original email sounds like a lie. Border line criminal. They do not respect their own contract.

Absolutely no help in a difficult time

published

We were caught in Thailand during the Covid 19 crisis. We had purchased travel insurance in 2022 and Australia closed borders while we were in Thailand. We had multiple flights cancelled and had to cut our trip short by a week to be able to get home. Not only could we not contact tick from overseas, once we got home they refused to cover any costs we had incurred. The service people are friendly, but they offered no help and we ended up thousands of dollars out of pocket. Will never insure with tick again.

Will never use them again

I purchased my insurance policy for Bali almost 12 months ago. I sent them an email on 23 March as I was due to fly out on 3 April asking if I could get a credit and refund and received an email today advising No to both. This COVID-19 is out of everyone control. Never had any issues with them before until this situation.

Unable to get ANY proper response from Tick

published

I purchased TOP cover with Tick for a trip to Europe in July. I submitted my claim on 18/4/2020 with all necessary documents.

I have since been given 3 different dates when I would hear from them (supposedly 10 business days) which they then extended after I followed up. I have sent multiple emails with no response. I have also called multiple times to speak with a manager and I am told somebody will call me but they never do.

Tick has not provided me any service and have not provided what I have paid for.

Rip off company

published

I have used tick insurance many times as I travel a lot, never had to claim and have recommended them to many people. Not anymore. At the beginning of January way before any talk of Corona, I took out insurance for a Bali trip in June. My trip has been cancelled and I have rebooked for December. I emailed tick and asked if I could change the dates on my insurance, same destination, same length if time. They flat out refused. I had to reschedule a holiday a few years back and the insurance company I used were happy to change the dates for me. It's no skin off their nose, I just want to change the dates. They've lost me as a customer and I will never recommend them to anyone, way to go tick.

Do not purchase insurance through this company!

published

I contacted Tick to request a refund of my policy as my cruise has been cancelled and the insurance is now absolutely useless to me.

Tick refused to refund me saying that it’s after their 14 day cooling off period. I realise that but out of goodwill I would have thought they would consider a refund.

I have read so many wonderful stories about other insurance companies giving refunds to their clients well after the cooling off period.

I will never purchase insurance through this company and I will make sure my family, friends, friends of friends and anyone else needing insurance will never use this company.

What exactly have you done with my money Tick?

Totally unfair

published

Have used Tick for all our domestic travel.
Got our cover 29th January for travel to Perth 2nd July.
Now all flights cancelled and no travel!
Told there were no refunds or deferral, how unfair is that when it is out of your control.
Had insurance with another company for international travel in May they had no problem.
Not happy with tick
Very unreasonable.

RIP OFF COMPANY...AVOID

This company is a money grabbing rip off.I purchased travel insurance on 3/1/2020 for a cruise out of of Singapore on 25/2/2020. The cruise was cancelled on 20/2/2020. I put in a claim for cancelled airfares immediately. On 9/4/2020, after numerous emails to Tick I received an email declining my claim. Do not deal with this company as they will find any excuse to decline your claim!

Coronavirus prevented all travel but no refund from TICK, and no desire to communicate, but happy to take my money, just money grabbers, extremely disappointed in their attitude and not reasonable because of this worldwide pandemic, what other more valid reason could there be to cancel my policy and ask for a refund

Hi Philip, I'm afraid that we are not offering refunds on policies outside of the 14 day cooling off period. In terms of next steps, I would advise you to send your policy number to [email protected]. This is our official channel for complaints, and your complaint will be formally lodged, and your refund request will be investigated. I'm genuinely very sorry about the inconvenience and frustration this must be causing. Thanks, Anna

Tick Travel Insurance

Hi Tick Insurance Team, you received our claim by post on 30 Mar. (Claim No. 120008102) for cancelled overseas travel due to our Government’s ‘Do Not Travel’ advice effective from 18 Mar. We have the top cover and took out our policy on 29 Oct 19 for travel from 16 Apr - 03 Jun 20. While we appreciate this is a busy time for everyone during the COVID 19 crisis, we are not even getting a response to my mails (09 and 16 Apr) to you where we are advising additional refunds and waivers we have secured since submitting our claim. On 09 Apr we were advised by you that a claims manager would be in touch, but to date we’ve had no contact by mail or phone, let alone any indication of a likely processing time, noting 10 days is your normal standard for completing a claim, and you have so far had our claim for 21 days. In order to avoid us escalating this due to no response to date, can someone from Tick Insurance please action my mails and give us some indication of your current processing delays by mail or phone.
Regards Christopher & Paula Wall

Tick Travel Insurance

Are the cost of repair quotes covered? I have been told they are not and given all apple stores are currently closed, apple certified resellers charge around $100-$200 for a repair quote which I cannot afford if in the end the claim is denied especially after my claim for the fee I paid to recover data on my phone was denied.

3 answers
Tick Travel Insurance
Anna J.Tick Travel Insurance

Hi Kira, thanks for reaching out.

You may be able to claim for the cost of repairing a damaged item, assuming the policy you purchased offers this cover. You will need to provide a receipt for the repair cost, and I can't comment on whether it would need to be repaired by Apple, or an authorised repair shop. Also, you should factor in the excess payable on your policy. This may be $0-$200 depending on which excess you selected. The best thing to do would be to submit a claim. The below link provides the information you will need to submit a claim:
https://www.tickinsurance.com.au/claims/

I hope this helps. Thanks, Anna

Hi Anna,
I have the top cover of insurance with the no excess option. I initially submitted a claim for the cost of data loss due to water damage when my phone unfortunately fell. I have been denied that claim because apparently data repair is not covered even though the loss was due to water damage that did not occur in ‘baggage’ instead when it fell hence there is also a cracked screen. I submitted a receipt for that which left me $650 out of pocket because apparently that’s not covered which I think is quite unfair. I do not want to spend an extra $185 for a repair quote or whatever the repair cost would be if again you guys will deny that.

Tick Travel Insurance
Anna J.Tick Travel Insurance

Hi Kira, I understand your concerns, but unfortunately, as I'm not part of the claims team, I'm not able to comment on what the outcome of your claim would be, as I'm not qualified to do so. The only way to get an absolute answer to your question would be to submit a claim, and see what the outcome of your claim is. Thanks, Anna
