Travel Insurance Recommendation

[Raymond Lin]

Has anyone here actually made a claim and has an insurance company that they would recommend?

I find most of the reviews online are for how smooth it is to buy it, not actually making the claim. Which is pointless.

I used to buy with Atlas and did eventually have a claim through them but they're now gone.

I actually spent ages yesterday looking at travel insurance and found a lot of providers are picky with covid:
- some won't cover you if you catch covid 14 days before travel
- some won't cover you if you're rejected at the airport if you were suspected to have covid
- some won't cover you if you catch covid abroad and aren't allowed to travel back home, where you'd need to pay for extended stay

There were a couple of non-mainstream providers with competitive quotes, but like you after reading some trustpilot reviews of people having difficulties even getting ahold of someone really put me off. So I paid a few quid more and went with Virgin Money - at least they're a big well known company.

Virgin Money actually looks decent. £56 for annual cover with £1000 flight cancellation for their Silver tier.
