Disappointed couldn’t transfer
While at first I thought this policy was good value, it turned out to be costly. With our travel plans postponed due to Covid-19 I requested that our travel insurance be transferred to when we travel next. This request was denied and no monies returned.
When all other parts of our holiday were refunded or vouchers for future use given, disappointing that Tick couldn’t offer the same.
Of note, my Mums travel insurance was fully refunded.
I’d be concerned with Tick if I ever had a claim.

Time to lodge a class action with the Industry Ombudsman
As with other reviews this is one of the only companies not offering full refunds for travel cancelled due to Covid. Contact the complaints line and ombudsman together everyone to get a result.

They kept my money for a service not provided
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.

DO NOT USE TICK
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

Never again with TICK
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

Underhanded dishonest company
Unable to travel due to a total travel ban but they will not allow you to cancel and will not refund the policy . No information on their website since February and they do not respond to all questions on emails . I feel this is dishonest and not a good way to run a business though they must be laughing as they keep everyone’s money . DO NOT PURCHASE.

Same situation & experience. Totally unethical and I Australian.
I took out insurance On 4/2/2020 for a trip to Bali, due to corona virus our trip was cancelled and out of our control, asked Tick for a refund on premium only to be told could not refund premium as it is outside 14 day cooling off period, surely this would not apply to the current circumstances. Tick insurance are only interested in taking your money nothing else. We are all in this together Tick Travel Insurance.
Will never use or recommend ever again!!!

Terrible communication and service
I read the reviews and was quite pleased with the feedback from customers therefore I purchased a standard cover for my Japan holiday (March 28-April 11th). I made the purchase in early February.
However, due to the circumstances surrounding the Covid-19, I had to forfeit my holiday due to heavy restirctions and remarkably, everything we had booked was fully refunded (albeit $50 cancellation fee).
Twice I made contact using their online service requesting to cancel my policy to refund my purchase and no contact was ever made. Looks like I ha...Read more
ve to forfeit my hard earned cash for something I had no control over and a policy I couldn't use! Thanks for nothing! UPDATE: 2/4/2020 Anybody wanting to change/refund their policy, I have been told “no” after 2 weeks in limbo of not knowing what is happening after the lack of communication. Another reason to be disappointed by not considering the stressful situation and just pocketing the hard earned cash of hard working Australians. If it’s out of my control which makes this policy void, I don’t understand how they cannot offer a refund when it’s not applicable now with heavy travel restrictions? My holidays and accommodation were booked months in advanced and yet due to the unforeseen circumstance, my friends and I were refunded in full (albeit $50 cancellation flights fee). They are companies that know how to look after customers who have a strong understanding that we had no control of the situation that has forced us to cancel our holiday. Clearly a company that’s money hungry and not looking out for the well-being of customers. Let this be an experience learnt from my end. It’s the feedback I’ll be sharing with friends to NOT use Tick Travel Insurance!1 comment

Scam and misleading
Lodge claim but nill result. Before I purchased the insurance, there is nothing mentioned about covid19 on their website around mid to end february, their website backdated with covid19 rules and anything purchase after 31 january you will not be able to claim. This is scam - anyone wants to buy please take screenshot their website. they will use all ways to avoid the claim.

Will never insure with them again. Bad sevice
I booked insurance with them 30 August 2022 for my trip to Japan in May. Because of the Corona Virus i was forced to cancel my trip. My flight and all accommodations have been cancelled and refunded.
Today i rang the insurance to request a refund for the money i paid them and was told No they do not give Refund. WHY. You buy something in a shop and you can return it if not used and get full refund. I am not going on my trip and will not use the insurance, so why are not giving the refund at a time like this.
Why should we booked with you again. Can we trust you. NO.

Can you let me know if our insurance for trial starting 25 March is covered for the Coronavirus to America
It was affordable but we haven’t travelled yet so when we come home I’ll update my post. We saw that it was easy to apply for and we’re happy to have it because it’s affordable.

Everything I want
Have used Tick Travel Insurance 5 or 6 times over the past few years and find their policies cover all my requirements. Fortunately have not had to make a claim so far. The cost is always far better than competitors.

Great to deal with. Easy on-line application. Read all the small print. I am over 70 so travel insurance becomes really expensive. Tick Travel insurance gave me the best dealThis is the 3rd time I have taken out a travel insurance with Tick. Policy is very good value. Very easy to set up on-line. Have 24hour emergency number. Great if any drama should arise

This is the first time we have used Tick. The policies were good value for money and easy to set up. Easy to set up. We have not yet made a claim so unsure how good they are in that dept.

So easy to set up and claim
The policy was excellent value, much cheaper than other companies. I was a little apprehensive because is was quite a lot cheaper. Unfortunately we had to cancel our holiday due to ill health. Claiming was easy, it took approx. 2-3 weeks to get refunded. They kept in contact throughout. I have never used Tick insurance previously, but I will be from now on.

Hi there, I purchased your insurance for my trip to Asia. However on the day where I was supposed to fly out from Singapore, I fell ill and was deemed unfit to fly for 3 days by the doctor. I have sent numerous emails but have not received any response regarding my return flight.
Am I supposed to book my return flight and claim upon arrival in Australia ? Would appreciate your prompt response.
Many thanks,
Viv

Hi Viv, I'm not part of the claims team so any advice I would give is general in nature, which I feel wouldn't be helpful in your case. I would strongly advise you call our 24/7 emergency assistance line on +612 9333 3963 to ask if you would be able to claim for this event, and if so, should you pay your return flight up front before claiming. Our team will be able to advise you on your potential claim, and they will discuss your options with you. I hope this helps. Thanks, Anna
