Columbus Direct is terrible. Claimed for lost luggage (Christmas 2009) – basically Columbus just stalled and stalled until I just gave up and obviously DID NOT renew the policy. They claim they’ll stump up £75, but it just won’t happen. As much use as a chocolate teapot – in fact less so – at least you can eat a chocolate teapot. Do not waste your money – you will be better off with no insurance – at least if something bad happens, you won’t waste hours on the phone/typing emails/typing & posting letters.
AVOID. HOPELESS. TERRIBLE. CON-ARTISTS.
PS. Why do people write reviews of insurance companies if they haven’t claimed? I have read so many saying such and such a company “…is great! They gave me the BEST quote! Excellent”…and no claim. You can’t judge insurance until you’ve actually USED IT! Like buying a cup of coffee and saying it’s fantastic…without actually drinking it!
Someone on this website said “I haven’t had to use the insurance for it’s purpose so i cant comment on that”……SO WHY ARE YOU POSTING A REVIEW??
I needed to be covered quickly for a on the spur trip to South Africa – The Columbus Direct Travel Insurance team there were very helpful with my pre existing medical conditions and everything was done in about 10 minutes. I haven’t had to use the insurance for it’s purpose so i cant comment on that but overall it was a pleasant and reasonably priced experience and i will use them again and again.
Great cover, would recomommend to all.
