I needed to cancel my insurance
I needed to cancel my insurance within the 14 day cooling off period; the phone was answered promptly and Ken was really friendly and efficient and explained the process well. I’d definitely look to use them again when I need to re-book travel insurance

Absolutely shocking customer service
Absolutely shocking customer service! Phoned to ask about progress with claim. They would get back to me they said. Guess what they did not. I phoned again and this time was told apparently I sent my claim to the wrong address even though this was the address printed on the form. Fortunately I had taken the precaution if sending recorded delivery so it was found. Then they rejected it stating there was no provision for delay. The problem was my flight was cancelled not delayed. I am still awaiting payment of a claim.
It is worth pointing out that this company works a “diversion” tactic and claims are dealt with my ETI services. Have a look at reviews for ETI services, as it is the worst company I have seen reviews for!
Don’t go near either Planet Earth or ETI services!

Holiday cancellation
We had to cancel a recent holiday due to the unforeseen illness of my mother,leading to us having to make a claim. Our claim was dealt with within a week of submission (we sent everything by recorded delivery) and within 3 days we received a refund of our holiday costs to our bank account. Excellent service provided and no nonsense correspondence from Jarrod. Thank you.

I had more complex travel insurance…
I had more complex travel insurance requirements than normal - length of cover required, health, age etc.
I found Jeremy at Planet Earth extremely helpful in guiding me through these issues and coming up with solutions than very much met my needs.
To cap it the price quoted was very competitive.
I spoke to many providers and have no hesitation in saying Planet Earth were streets ahead so I would thoroughly recommend others to consider using them.

Great service
I phoned the helpline and spoke to a real person (Ken) who was able to answer my questions directly, this allowed the insurance product to be tailored to my needs. Good service and well a priced product.

Easiest cover ever
I had been recommended this insurance company by my holiday agent. Having had travel policies previously with other companies which seemed to take a time going through personal information and also being on the phone to them for ages, this phone call to the Planet Earth agent made the process including the price easy. I would certainly use this company again as speaking to them simplified the whole application process.

Claim for travel disruption ignored
I sent in my claim on July 14th via post following the instructions on my insurance documents. No acknowledgement or any kind of reply was received. On Sept 17th I followed this up via email and to this date I still have no acknowledgement or reply from the Insurance company.
Is this just a scam and have I been ripped off?

Please do not use this company
My other son feel ill three days ago and I am still waiting for a case reference I emailed all my details and had a response asking for a telephone number which I sent right away but still await a case reference they clearly do not have enough staff to deal with the amount of policies they sell I have had to pay out over £1700 dollars so far I can’t wait to see how long it takes to get that refunded. Judging by over reviews I am going to have a long wait. I am leaving another review as they seem to responded to these reviews quicker than they respond to the emergency email address
Good telephone contact
A very good telephone manner, I did not feel rushed or that all the company wanted was a sale. Clear helpful guidance ensuring I understood the product offered by the company.
