Needed last minute to modify my coverage plan as my daughter was too ill to do the Hi Giang Loop and ended up in the hospital on the very day she was meant to begin on her adventure. They were so hel... See more

Online process super easy/customer service Theo very helpful
Online process super easy. Very competitive prices and long stay options without too many questions. Customer services response amazing, no waiting queues. Theo was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, unlike some other competitors staff members.
Best travel insurance deal
Really easy to understand website, easy form to fill in with explanations along the way to help you make the correct choice and the best deal I have found after looking at numerous sites.
I would highly recommend taking a look for your next trip.
Great insurance for my riding holidays
Easy website to navigate and to find what you're looking for. I always use Big Cat for my horse riding holidays!

My experience was the same as last year, a very simplified box ticking exercise with all the right options available. I have a medical issue which was very easily dealt with and covered as part of my policy.

Some people on the phone help were very helpful, others not so much.
Online chats were slow to answer and reply, but quite helpful.
Product seems good, but call centre definately helps with getting a quote.
Very easy to add travel insurance
Very easy to add travel insurance. I added medical insurance but the PDF of this did not arrive in my inbox.
WARNING
WARNING. This is only a distributor for poor quality insurers. Claims are handled by the 'claims settlements agencies'/Gallagher Bassett umbrella:
See the "csal.co.uk" or Gallagher Bassett Truspilot for an idea of how claims will be dealt with!! (It's not good, verging on scam/illegal/immoral imo)
Also, look at these reviews, all positive ones are related to getting favourable rates/good service when taking out a policy - not actually claiming! If you look at the reviews related to actually claiming (which is what you are paying for!! You'll have a better idea of the service)

Incredibly easy to deal with and perfect policy for our needs (we are on a one way trip and lots of other insurers didn’t offer cover)
They honoured the quote from before thank you
Great company, they also for over a month honoured the previous cheaper quote thank you
Excellent experience
When our travel insurance expired as we arrived in Australia, it was difficult to find new coverage since we're in our 60s, plan to visit New Zealand, the USA, and Canada, and won't return to England until late 2026. We eventually found Big Cat, whose website was easy to use and response to an email enquiry was immediate. However, although the quote was supposed to be valid for seven days, when I purchased the insurance after two days, the price had increased by £200, maybe I missed something in the small print! However, we are glad we have the comfort of being insured.
