Great, even when you dont need it.
Four times, very happy not to have needed to make a claim but very happy with the coverage the policies have given us.

Totally Agree with Done from Melbourne 22-9-2018
Frustrated every step of the way with their claims process.
Really glad that this was only about stolen goods and not a medical emergency.
Yes their premiums are well priced but buyer beware.
We are all well aware of the excess that applies to insurance policies and sign up to that but this company also applies their rate of depreciation against claimed losses. In our case a Samsung S6 was only worth $32:25 AUD. What a joke.
Furthermore unless you have receipts for every single item or proof of purchase, ie, credit card transaction records,...Read more

Many trips covered.
My third or fourth purchase . Due for a no claim bonus “LOL”.
Many trips have been well covered. And even at 75 my premiums have been affordable.

Peace of mind
The policy was easy to setup and to get the right cover at a reasonable price. I have been using TID for the past decade for all of my trips. I’ve had to make claims over the years and found TID to be very helpful and never a deterrent. I’d never leave the country without there cover.

Would not recommend, did not feel secure at all.
When initially booking travel insurance the general outline of the policy is quite appealing as the inclusions seem great value for the price. However, there is so much fine print in the terms and condition that make it so difficult to successfully claim anything. My flight was significantly delayed and I had costly expenses to compensate for the delay. My claim was rejected on the basis that there needed to be another 50 minutes in delay for it to qualify. What is even the point of paying for travel insurance if you don't have peace of mind and don't feel secure.
Would not recommend TID to anyone.

Why Can't All Insurance Be Like This?
I have relied on TID travel insurance for over twenty trips in recent years. The policies represent outstanding value, and both the website and the app are seamless. On the one occasion that I had to lodge a claim, the process was prompt and efficient. Far and away the best provider in Australia

Obviously not. The phone operator just said you could go to the trouble of making a claim. This was to be done online. But he was not hopeful and did not offer any further help. So for me it really was a waste of money and not to be repeated.

Difficult to make a claim
I missed connection flight due to the first flight was 90 minutes late, and I tried to file a claim. The information required was a lot, and they probably just want to make the barrier so high that no one would ever claim. Searching online I get to know they do not compensate you if the delay is due to operational issues of flight companies. Fair enough, it is always good to know, but what is the point of my buy travel insurance from them anymore? It is always frictionless when you buy, but to make a claim, it is different.

I'm sorry to hear you felt as though the claims process was designed to dissuade you from making a claim. We do ask for supporting documents to substantiate a claim but rest assured it’s not designed to discourage a claim and I’m sorry if you were made to feel that way. Whilst travel insurance is there to cover you for delays resulting from events such as natural disasters, bad weather or unforeseen illness and injury it doesn't cover you for the fault of a carrier. In these instances you are always entitled to follow up with the carrier at fault. In fact most major airlines have policies in place to offer compensation when they are in fact at fault. Having said that I would be happy to look further into your claim and if need be have it independently reviewed. If you would like for me to so please provide me with your claim number on [email protected] Ash, Customer Experience Manager www.tid.com.auSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Affordable & Easy
I signed up for this travel insurance while we were at the airport waiting for our flight. It was really easy to apply and the most affordable of all the various insurance companies. We didn't need to make a claim, but it was good knowing that we had top-level cover if we needed it (and we have in the past!)
