Do not use this company

Do not use this company. We had a medical emergency in Greece and got no help, apparently we were on an island with no hospital so were left overnight with no help. This was in April and we still haven’t got any medical expenses back! Not even an email or any communication! Tried calling and phone line is terrible very crackly and slow response where we could hardly hear them. When we finally reached someone they were useless, wait another week they said ….. gave us another number which was out of use.,,,,this service is ridiculously bad.
It's now 13.7.26 and we haven't heard anything! We would appreciate a call from a senior representative of your company ASAP!!!

Great customer service from Sofia

Bought a travel insurance policy and needed to update the medical declaration. Spoke with Sofia, who was lovely. Handled the update request swiftly and directed me to new email correspondence. Great customer service!

Easy to deal with

I called up to cancel a policy as I had found another provider who was cheaper.
The guy (didn't ask his name) was friendly, personable and professional. He made the whole process smooth and easy. Really impressed.
Made me think about the possibility of going back to them next year

I had a query over the family policy and it was answered quickly and clearly. I did try via the chatbot but the responsiveness wasn't great and the clarity of the response wasn't good enough for certainty.

Airline issued PIR as their official Damage Report. AXA disagree. I stuck.

My suitcase was broken, crack and dent during processing on my flight to Hong Kong. I report to airline desk. Cathay Pacific Airline staff immediate issued a Property Irregularity Report(PIR) - promise this as the only doc needed for insurance claim. Several staffs insisted - for Years, Cathay Pacific issue Only PIR for claiming travel insurance. Airline insisted PIR is the same as damage report on insurance claim - they never heard about incomplete doc ever occur. But, AXA insisted PIR and Damage report is 2 kind of difference report. Then refuse to even accessing my claim - repeatedly suggested I hand in incomplete doc.

Request for a non-existed doc which airline would not issue at all. Then decline accessing claim? I am so regret on the outdated practice. Actually regret to even be their customer. If I could be trapped by these tiny trap, how could I trust when big issue happen.

Thank you for your review.

We've spoken to the claims handlers for your case, and from what we understand, the PIR you submitted was in order. The document they had been requesting from you was proof of ownership and value (such as an original receipt) for the damaged item. We've asked them to contact you to explain again what is needed so they can progress your claim.

If you require any further assistance, please let us know.

I've used coverforyou for travel insurance quite a few times but have never had to contact them by phone before today. The call was answered immediately after i chose from the initial selections and spoke to a most helpful lady who answered my query clearly and professionally. All done and dusted in a couple of minutes, brilliant compared to most companies where you can phone them and be on hold for a long time and still not get your issue resolved at the end of it. I will keep using them for all my future travel plans
