We were also travelling to Japan 11/2/2020 return 17/2/2020. Unfortunately for us we were flooded in and could not make our flight to Japan, 10/2/2020.

flooded. No cars, bikes, or trucks could cross. We were flooded in. We lodged a claim with Budget Direct and after a long time waiting for a claim number, then another 4 weeks without communication. We supplied all supporting documents required to make a claim. Budget Direct decided Not to honour our claim. The reason last minute budget direct travel insurance does not cover for natural disaster ie flood. We purchased the insurance 23rd January 2020. Not last minute. We feel ripped off! Why have travel insurance! Shame on budget travel insurance

Low cost travel insurance – Policy was good value Haven’t lodged a claim, so no feedback on that First time using the company Chose this company base on low cost. Our risks were low - we used a large airline & going to the UK, with reciprocal health care arrangement. Show details · 1
We had a save feeling for a good price – We had a look at the T&Cs which seemed to be reasonable and got a good feeling for the price we paid. The online platform was easy to navigate. Fortunately, we haven't had a claim so can't say anything about this process. Overall it has been a good experience. Show details

I would call one number and it would… Read more
tell me to use another. I had to cut my 3 month travel plan down to 10 days. The doctor said I was even at risk of death. All thanks to BUDGET direct.
All I received claim for was for the medicines I purchased, and not through the absolute hell they put me through. DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY.
