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?? Columbus Direct is terrible.

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.
