Like others commenting on here, I'm disappointed my annual policy premium has gone up so much (50%) at age 60. I've bought annual policies for years with Columbus. I was allegedly given 30% discount b... Mehr ansehen

Always use Columbus as they are competitively priced. Needed cruise insurance and was easy and a good price. Website form can be a little difficult, but got there in the end.

I have been a customer of Columbus for…

I have been a customer of Columbus for several years and previously had no problems. However when I renewed my yearly travel insurance recently I had to use their new 'Portal' system which I duly did and paid. I requested my policy details be sent to me as previously - however never arrived and the 'Portal' is impossible to access - codes that don't work and then its blocked. Customer Services do not answer emails either. Very disappointed with this company! Avoid!

Terrible experience!

Terrible experience!
They refused to cover expenses due to a last minute flight cancellation by the airline during my last trip.
The policy wording is confusing and designed to make imposible any claim.
The only good thing is: They have now lost a frecuent client!

Antwort von Columbus Direct

Hi Alex. We're sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction. We have reached out to you for more information as we would be happy to review your case to determine whether we could have done more to assist.

Based on the information shared though, it sounds like your circumstances would not be generally covered by most travel insurance policies. Travel insurers do not usually provide cover where the airline have cancelled your flight. They should refund all flight costs and may assist with any other irrecoverable costs.

Hi Martin. Thanks for sharing your experience. Hopefully the documents have now been received ok but if not, it may be worth having a quick look in your spam folder. Although we make every effort to ensure this doesn't happen, sometimes it still does, so please check there.

In the meantime, we'll also get our customer services team to follow-up on this with you. Thanks for choosing Columbus Direct.

Don't be ageist.

Don't be ageist. It's against the law. After being with Columbus for approximately 15 years, my premium went up 300% this year because I went from being 65 to 66. If you don't want my business, just say and I'll go elsewhere. Don't break the law.

Antwort von Columbus Direct

Hi Colin. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Our insurers set rates so this increase is driven by them. We acknowledge that the rates do unfortunately increase significantly when going in to the higher age bands that we have.

Our insurers have demonstrated that the increased prices are reflective of the higher risk from those in higher age bands. So whilst you personally may not have changed in terms of risk on the policy, we see much higher claims costs from other customers as they get older. This age based rating is allowed under law as there is evidence that there is higher risk, in the same way that motor insurers charge more for younger drivers because of the risk they present.

We appreciate that you have been a customer for a long time and thank you for that. We would of course prefer to keep you as a customer, but we understand that following this increase, it's right that you compare our price against others in the market to ensure you get the best product at the right price for you.

Truly awful

Truly awful. I have been trying to renew my annual travel insurance policy online. The Portal is not fit for purpose and kicked me out over a dozen times whilst trying to renew the policy. Phoned customer 'service' (and I use the term very, very loosely. No help whatsoever. I have given up. I have sourced a policy elsewhere at a more competitive premium, with wider cover/higher limits and the online portal works perfectly. Columbus to be avoided at all costs.

Absolutely Disrespectful Service

I have been with this company for over 10 years, never made a claim. I had a stomach problem which was quickly diagnosed by the Doctor but he wanted a scan just to confirm, although by the time the scan came through the issue had completely cleared with antibiotics. I informed the insurance company. The day before my holiday they cancelled mine and my wife's travel insurance due to outstanding result from scan Absolutely appalling, there was no, Ok we can still cover you but not for the issue you raised with us, no compassion or care, just, your policy and your wives(who had no issues) is immediately cancelled. I thought being honest was the right thing to do, appalling customer service and loyalty. Left me to struggle to get travel insurance within 2 hrs of flying or have to cancel my holiday. Ex military veteran, Makes you wonder why you bothered. Footnote: the antibiotics cleared my issue in 5 days, which was 3 weeks ago, Doctor had passed me fit to travel.

Don’t even think about getting travel insurance with these I paid for the gold service as it claimed to give full coverage of the cost of my holiday if I had to cancel. I had to cancel due to medical emergency and despite submitting all documentation within a week. I received no contact for 5 weeks and after multiple calls and emails was begrudgingly awarded less than a third of my holiday cost
