Still Waiting

What worries me is that you take out Top Travel insurance and think you are covered, but now that we have this coronavirus level 4 cannot travel, we shall see the true colours of insurance companies. I have put in a request for a refund for 2 accommodations in Bali and have given the insurance company copies of passport, health care card information, also copies of the accommodation with a letter from us requesting a refund from the accommodation. This was all requested by Tick insurance which I have emailed to them. Hope they come to the party of giving us a refund.

Scam and misleading

published

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.

They just pocket the money

published

Paid for top cover for myself and husband for our overseas trip in Early January 2020
But as a level 4 travel restriction in place due to corona virus We cannot travel and when I asked for a refund on my policy they refused saying no refunds and no credit
So they just pocket the money and offer nothing for it
Never again will I insure with this company

Poor customer service and a bunch of Liars

published

They take forever to respond for starters and they are a typical insurer who will do anything to get out of paying. I booked insurance before the coronavirus was deemed an pandemic and wanted to claim for my cancelled flights etc but they lie and say that on their site at that point it said they're not covering for the virus and that I would have had to have clicked to confirm that I understand this which is completely false. I should have gone with my normal insurers. Don't waste your money.

Will never insure with them again. Bad sevice

published

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.

Unsympathetic company

published

Recent trip cancelled due to COVID-19 and this company will not allow refunds on policies or postponement due to worldwide lock down. Whilst I am putting my life on the line working in an Emergency department potentially being exposed to COVID19, these crooks are sitting back counting the COVID cash. Shame on you Tick, absolute shame.

Poor Customer Service

published

I tried to reschedule my insurance today as it was no longer needed due to corona virus but got told by customer service rep that I had called the day before to confirm I needed it and it is now too late. Considering I was at work the whole day and have no recollection of doing this they assure me I did, however they can't tell me when I called, who took the message or why I would need insurance for a trip I had cancelled five days earlier. Tried to speak with a manager but they were all too busy so I'm not expecting any joy from this mob.
Price is pretty cheap but you get what you pay for I suppose, I won't be using them again and can't recommend them as an insurer.

Travel insurance - change of date

published

I recently purchased a travel insurance policy for my trip to Bali which was recently postponed due to the Coronavirus pandemic. I contacted them to change the date and there is nothing they can do for me. I don't want a refund, I just want to change it to a future date but I don't know when that will be at the moment. I received credit for my flights and accommodation at late notice so can't understand why Tick Insurance can't do the same due to the circumstances in the world at the moment.

Purchased travel insurance from this company.
They will not answer the phone, or respond to emails
Do not bother using this company, you will not be able to get any assistance from them . you will end up giving away your money.

Easy to set up, great value for money and always has the best excess cover for hire vehicles( when needed). Have used TICK frequently over the last couple of years.

They won't even refund your policy.

published

Only insurance company I have dealt with the won't provide a policy refund and I haven't even travelled yet! Be careful with their terms and agreements, they are not as flexible or reasonable as other providers.

Can't Contact when there is a HICCUP

published

I have been attempting to contact TICK INSURANCE because I have to cancel my holiday for family reasons. I chose to email rather than phone as my circumstance is not "URGENT" as per your website. I filled out your contact form and no one has bothered to contact me. I realise with the Corona Virus causing challenges there would be some delays in response, however, my challenge has nothing to do with this and I need to rectify my challenge ASAP. I've been using TICK for the past several years. I've never had to make a claim and now that I require some assistance I've heard nothing.

Can you let me know if our insurance for trial starting 25 March is covered for the Coronavirus to America

published

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.

quick no fuss well priced

Went on a cruise febuary and found that noumea requires that we carry health insurance or we may be denied into the country something new.We shopped around and took out Tick very simple and cost effective for our needs.We had no problem at all.However when docking at noumea a guests was been put into an ambulance and we heard that the ambulance and hospital would not accept her until they had clearance from her insurer.This made us very happy that we did take out the policy.

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

Tick Travel Insurance - Top

My reference no is 120009162
I have an email which requested information to be sent to you re our cancellation of our trip 1st May-31st May. As our doctor told us, that at our age it would be dangerous to our health to travel because of the virus, and the fact that we had cancelled before it was made a pandemic, and our policy was taken out last September, should we register the mail with all of the documents required, or do the transaction via email? We understand the excess per person is $200.00. My original enquiry was 5th march 2020 to Customer Support [Assistance].

Can I claim for a Air Vanuatu flight cancelled on 22/03/2020. Replacement flight purchased for our party of 4 adults and 1 infant.

Tick Travel Insurance
Anna J.Tick Travel Insurance

Hi Nev, if you purchased your policy before 4:00pm on 31st January, and your policy included cancellation cover, then you are eligible to claim for cancelling your trip, although it sounds like perhaps you are rescheduling instead of cancelling. Therefore, I cannot advise on the outcome of your claim, and I would recommend you lodge a claim. The below link includes all of the information you will need to lodge online, via email or via post, along with a list of documents that need to be included along with your claim.

Why did tick accept and take money for travel insurance after the 31st January then why did they take our money after that date for travel insurance our flights were cancelled by air Vanuatu 2 days before we were due to fly back to Australia not our fault and no explanation from air Vanuatu

Tick Travel Insurance
Anna J.Tick Travel Insurance

Hi Nev, we continued to sell policies that provided the same wide range of cover our policies had offered before this date, with the exception of claims related to coronavirus. In addition, it was deemed a known event by this point, meaning it would be expected the policy was entered into with awareness of the virus and its developments. I would recommend you contact [email protected] with your policy number. They will be able to formally lodge your complaint and investigate your case. Thanks, Anna

I purchased this cover in October 2022 for a trip in May. We are postponing this trip due to COVID. My cover does include COVID-19 events. I will be taking this trip - to exactly the same destinations and exactly the same travel duration - but a simple transfer of dates will need to apply. I have emailed customer service weeks ago however as yet to receive a response. There is nothing mentioned in my T&C's to indicate that a date change cannot apply. In fact - I'm sure a lot of policies have date changes applicable seeing as people purchase travel insurance before travel dates become firm. This request is being made before the commencement of my trip. Please advise on this and how a travel date change can be applied.

Hi Cath,
I think if you go into your booking, it should allow you to change the dates, if not, just get in contact with the actual place you are booked into and see if they will allow a credit to be held for you.
And they would probably be able to change your dates also. If its non-refundable you may have just lost your money, Good luck.

Tick Travel Insurance
Anna J.Tick Travel Insurance

Hi Cath, thanks for reaching out, but I'm afraid we are not able to change the dates on your policy, as this isn't something we can offer. Also, I'm afraid a refund can only be made if the policy was purchased within the last 14 days. Thanks, Anna
