4  cousin  · I am happy with the coverage promised for the price I paid. Hopefully making a claim will not be necessary.
4  Lorraine McLoughlin  · I used the annual policy last year, so renewed for this year. No claims. I purchased an annual policy, so it was great value.

So far the claims process has been stressful and uneventful, I bought 12 months of travel insurance and I am completely dissatisfied with the treatment whilst trying to make a claim, I now have to wait until I return home before i can give them all the requests they have made for me to prove my claim. They dont read my emails or answer my questions, I just keep getting the same generic emails back with the same requests. Show details

As insurance, the Woolworths Everyday travel insurance policy is useless. In the case for my one claim .... I modified travel plans due to the illness and consequent death of a family member, father in-law. The reply for the claim was that the policy requires "a close relative be a resident of Australia or New Zealand" - my in-laws live in London.… Read more

My original plans involved a flight to London following a trip in South America, so the claim contained; partial loss of original trip expenses, and rearranging accomodation and flight dates. God forbid I require medical attention from travel insurance, should I be travelling in a country other than Australia.

1 star, as 0 star was not a valid selection ...... To reiterating - as travel insurance, the Woolworths Everyday travel insurance policy is useless.

Disgusting – You're not actually covered for anything. If something is lost, you have to say where it is to prove it's lost. If it's damaged, you're not allowed to replace it (eg. phone under contract). You're not allowed to have another phone until the claims process is complete - I waited 3 months to find out my claim was denied because I could not provide… Read more

evidence of a phone at the bottom of a canyon. I had to retrieve it and get a technician report on it. It's fake insurance.

what older seasoned travellers are looking for in travel insurance – being a retired traveller l would like to be able to read a plain english summary early in your advertising material. the real test of a travel insurance policy is the claim process, but never having made a claim l think some sort of no claim bonus would help a seasoned traveller Show details

 Follow-up  · I did not have an excess on my policy. The communication between myself and the company was second to none. The lady I spoke to was patient and helpful. At no time was I made to feel uncomfortable. My documents included receipts from the travel… Read more

My wife slipped on some tiles around a swimming in Thailand which caused a intertrochanteric fracture of her hip. It was quite serious and she went to hospital in an ambulance. I had heard a lot of flak regarding Insurance companies, especially travel insurance and wasn’t sure what to expect when waiting in the hospital with my wife laying there… Read more

in pain. From the first phone call to EDI, ( Everyday Insurance) my mind was put at ease. They handled things from the start with sympathy and professionalism, approving the case quickly and smoothly. I would also like to say that the main thing that stood out to me was the correspondence. They always answered their phone …..every time ……and or later on their emails and did what they said they were going to do. I don’t often give reviews but I cant recommend this company enough and would definitely advise anybody to use them if your heading overseas.

Reliable, fast, and highly professionalI cannot thank this company enough. Being stranded in Italy was very stressful, but the customer service team was wonderfully attentive when I called them from abroad. Back home, submitting the claim via their website was seamless and user-friendly. The claim was approved and paid out much faster than I expected. Exceptional care from start to finish! Show details

Flight cancelled. Required to extend the policy by 4 days Tried multiple times, phone and email. Emails did not address the issue. Emails stated to call customer services..... Unavailable. I did not wish to make a claim I only required additional cover for medical emergency only. ( Not expecting any) The extra 4 days cost nearly as much as 8… Read more

days. My fellow travellers had different travel insurance. One extended by the app and no extra charge. Another arrange for their spouse to call.. successful outcome and again no charge

I have used Woolworths on the past, luckily no adverse events. I will not be using Woolworths(nib) again

Wholly disappointed.

Although not having to make a claim, Everyday Travel Insurance was by far the best, offering the same services at a much lower cost. Very easy to apply for and I will use them again when needed. Show details

I found the premium very competitive and the agent was very clear in explaining the policy. It was all sorted very quickly. I didnt have any reason to make a claim thankfully, but felt confident in the product. Also, it was a nice surprise to get the extra bonus points on my next shop as I have another insurance policy with Everyday Rewards. Show details

I have travelled extensively throughout the world in the past 30 years. I used Everyday Travel Insurance for the first time last year and was amazed at the very competitive pricing along with an extra 10% when a Rewards Member. The basic cover included much more than any other policy. I've been a loyal Woolworths customer for many many decades. I wish I'd know about the Travel Insurance earlier. Show details

I am 81 and this year have found it increasingly expensive and difficult to find Travel Insurance for twelve months, until I came across Everyday Travel Insurance. Online it was an easy experience and I was able to purchase it for less than I have paid in the past years. I rang the company to clarify a couple of things on the policy and spoke to… Read more
