5 Danielle  · Everytime I spoke to someone they were patient with my questions, understanding of my needs and provided assistance as needed
5 Lynne  · Have previously used World2Cover and am very impressed with the service we received when we required medical assistance overseas.
5 Michelle M  · Have not needed to use it but always have it just in case .... Service is great as well
5 Seni  · Abi was so efficient! I emailed her and within 15mins I had a response that my Policy was amended. Smooth process
5 Sarith  · Price is very competitive with inclusions where the other companies charge more with less cover. Very easy to set up this policy online.
5 Gary  · Very courteous and friendly phone call dealing with my information required to cover my trip.

Dodgy operators – Originally took out a policy for a Europe trip which had the outbound flight cancelled and it ended up being rescheduled for 2 days later. Rang up to advise of new and reduced numbers of days cover to be told to pay more. Despite escalating to their management I am yet to receive any suitable response Show details

Absolutely do not get travel insurance from this company. Our holiday was ruined by the cruise ship we were on and when I put in a claim they found a loophole and denied us any compensation even though we travelled across the world for the cruise. It is an absolute joke. Show details

 Follow-up  · They have been rubbish to deal with, they found some clause to say that we werent covered even though the cruise was cancelled and it was out of our hands. They offered no compensation at all. Their cruise cover is an absolute joke and I dont want anyone else getting caught out like I did. Plus their customer service is terrible. Steer clear from this company!!

Good part - I received very good assistance from your phone person when I had a problem purchasing from an existing quote. My problem was that I couldn't purchase online, because the link from the quote took me to an unpopulated "Get a Quote" page. Show details

Run don’t waste your money, there is a reason this company is cheap because they’re nasty as well. Several flight delays that caused us to miss booked tours, paid for accommodation. Several documents were submitted as evidence but this company play hard play and decline claims. Avoid at all costs, pay the extra go elsewhere Show details

Luggage damaged upon arrival into Zurich. Was unable to repair. Filed claim that night while overseas - took 4 months to get any response. Purchased new luggage and gradually got reimbursed after 6 months and after multiple emails claiming they had not received suffice information. I got sick or resending same docs honestly. Never again! No communication and just no support. Felt alone during overseas trip with no communication. Show details

I have just purchased my travel insurance with World2cover and realised when I received my policy documents that I had made two small errors in my declarations regarding medical assessments. This was quickly and successfully resolved. This is the first time I have insured with World2cover, and I will happily continue to insure with the company in the future, and would recommend them to others Show details ·  1

Well priced policy. Had to make our first travel claim ever for medical reasons and the service was excellent. I put the claim in that night and by lunch the next day I had an email it was all approved! Highly recommended. Show details

Easy to navigate the web site. Many existing medical conditions already included. Very helpful and courteous when speaking on the telephone. Haven't traveled as yet so can't say how a claim would go and hope I don't have to find out. I am sure they will be helpful. Ian Show details ·  1

Needed to make a claim due to a cancelled flight, world2cover quickly addressed my claim (within a week), and processed the return payment swiftly. Overall, great value for money - this cover was £0 excess - and really quick, smooth & efficient claims process! Would recommend :) Show details ·  1

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY - Snowstorms leaving Japan caused our family to miss a connecting business class flight. We called World2Cover to confirm this incident was covered and on advice from the World2Cover representative informing us we could book a like for like ticket we went ahead and booked another flight business class paying directly.… Read more

Upon returning to Australia, we made a claim for the cost of the tickets and found out because we booked our original flights with points, they valued the points we received back from the missed flight at ridiculously high rate. As a result, we ended up being over $10,000 out of pocket. We thought insurance was to insulate us from loss but not with World2Cover. Be careful with this company, their service is terrible, and you never speak with the same person twice. Very disappointing result. If you make a claim, you will be in for a fight to get fairly compensated. Look for more reputable insurers and stay away from World2Cover. CHECK OUT ALL THE 1 STAR REVIEWS.

From getting a quote to purchasing cover with existing medical issues was so fast and easy and very affordable too. Our customer service agent Sinni was absolutely amazing and so helpful and super quick. Sinning would have to be the nicest and most knowledgeable customer service provider ive ever dealt with, she made the entire process so effortless. I highly recommend Show details ·  1

If I could rate it zero I would. I lodged a claim soon after my accident early June 2024- the claim was paid early May 2025. The entire claim process was time consuming and confusing and I am a lawyer- so if I found it hard, how does anyone get a claim from them paid?! They asked me to provide information from the Airline which was impossible for… Read more

me to do- as the airline wouldn't provide it and then they said my entire claim was denied because of this. I only finally got some kind of resolution when I made a complaint to the Australian Financial Complaint Authority (AFCA) and I was persistent in my explanations as to why their approach was flawed. At no point in the claim process did they explain to meet that it was actually 2 claims until I received 2 separate payments and 2 lots of excess deductions- and even then nobody explained why, I worked it out myself. I DO NOT recommend this company and will NEVER use them again.

really good cover, paid out claim in full, service a little slow – I took out travel insurance for skiing in Niseko Japan for myself and my 2 children. some minor mishaps, physio treatment and equipment totalling $3k. used the online claims process. yes a little slow in processing, but in the end, full payment less deductible, at a good exchange rate, within 25 days. so yes, I would use this company again. Show details

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS COMPANY! THEY WILL NOT PAY YOU !!!!! – Never again will I take insurance out with them . Took them over 6 months and countless phone calls/ emails and complaints to get a rejected claim. Got stuck in Singapore on layover due to falling ill and I’m glad I chose to stay in a hotel rather than a hospital because they paid out zero dollars to me. Customer service even admitted on the… Read more

phone the extra papers i had to supply during the process sat on someone’s desk for 2 months not looked at. Maybe not tell a person this it looks very bad !!!!! Out of pocket thousands and not one cent from these people and good luck getting a response they will only respond if you call and even when they say they will call you back they don’t . I took this insurance out thinking I was covered . Waste of money go elsewhere . Your policies and processing claims is a joke you need to work on this to be more efficient and more considerate to what a person went through. I would have taken something and didn’t need everything approved but to get zero dollars is a joke . Tell them nothing when your situation is happening as they will act like they care but they use this against you when it’s time to make a claim .Be warned !!

Worst Travel Insurance ever if you have to make a claim – We made 2 claims whilst traveling to Europe for 5 weeks all related to an unexpected illness for my husband. World 2 Cover were the most unresponsive, unprofessional and useless company I have ever dealt with. I have never made a claim for travel insurance but the whole process was the lengthiest process ever. It has been 3 mths and still no… Read more

payment received. I received every excuse under the sun and whilst they denied 1 claim because my husband didnt go to the DR the 2nd claim is still yet to be paid. Never once did I receive a phone call from there team. Even made a complaint that was supposed to go to the complaints team but a claims person contacted me to do absolutely nothing. I travel overseas every year and will never use this company again. The price was good but you never know how good an insurance company is until you use them and these guys are the worst ever. Dont BUY!

An insurance company that does not care! – They paid out most of my claims. However it took me countless emails and phone calls to follow up with them because there was hardly any response from them for 2 months! Their agreed turnaround was 10 business days from date of submission, I followed up on the 15th day, to be met with a request for more information on the 16th day. Once submitted,… Read more

didn't hear from them. I followed up on the 20th day and they tell me the clock starts again after submission of more information! Unacceptable! Gave them the benefit of doubt, followed up on the 30th day, still no response. Subsequently I raised a complaint to them, that finally got me a call from the Claim reviewer who again asked for more information. Though he promised to finalised the claim within the week, I had to follow up again after 1 week to be told it's still under review. I followed up again 1 week later, gave them a piece of my mind about how unprofessional they are and they do not have a customer focus in mind. Finally received an approved letter few days after that unfriendly email. By then I was just thankful that they approved 90% of my claim that I am not bothered to argue with them about the remaining items.

For this claim, it has cost me more in time and energy than the dollar value itself! Maybe this is their tactic of wearing you down, approve the minimum and hope you won't fight for the rest.

My advice, stay away! read all other feedback below and my experience. This is not a good company. You've been warned!
