Verdict
Tick Travel Insurance is generally well-received for its competitive pricing, user-friendly online platform, and straightforward policy purchase process. Many customers appreciate the clear layout of coverage options and helpful phone support when setting up or modifying their policies. However, experiences with the claims process are mixed, with some policyholders noting challenges regarding specific exclusions and prolonged communication during payouts.
Easy to take out the insurance. Unfortunately we had to cut our 6 week trip short (after 15 days of being away) and come back for our daughter who broke both legs and was wheelchair bound. As soon as we found out we called Tick insurance and the customer service person told us to go ahead and pay for our flights home and we would get reimbursed… Read more
upon arrival in Australia. We had not booked anything ahead for the rest of the 4 weeks so the claim was pretty straight forward. Train fares to the nearest capital city and then air fares from Europe to Sydney. Claim was put thru asap and accepted and a claim manager assigned to me. The claim manager ask me to provide the same documents I had provided with the initial claim. I provided them again. Then radio silence. Upon following up I was assigned another claims manager who asked me to provide the same documents again. I did this further 3 times with new claims managers. It took a few stern emails and a lawyer's opinion to get them to honour the claim. Overall it took over 3 months to get our money back. Meanwhile i was paying interest on the extra amount i had to put on the credit card to get back home asap.
The site is very easy to negotiate, plans are very clear so it’s easy to work out which is the plan that suits us the best, the cost is very reasonable especially in comparison to other companies, the questions for the health assessments (we have health issues) were very clear and straight forward. The process was so quick too. This is the second… Read more
time we’ve used Tick because they’re so efficient and claiming was very easy and fast the first time we used them when we had a medical issue. I highly recommend them.

Hello fellow Australians, A big warning for your travels. I travelled from Brisbane to Bali with Batik Air, then onward to India. I purchased travel insurance from Tick Travel Insurance. Due to Batik Air delaying my flight from Brisbane by more than 5 hours, I missed my connecting flight from Bali to India. As a result, I had to stay overnight… Read more
in Bali and purchase a new ticket to India with a different airline at my own expense.
I submitted a claim to Tick Travel Insurance for these costs, but they refused the claim, stating that the flight delay did not meet their requirement of a 12-hour delay.
This condition was not clearly highlighted at the time of purchase. The insurance was paid for, and only afterward was a disclosure statement sent with the invoice. Had I known about this 12-hour delay requirement beforehand, I would not have purchased this insurance.
In my view, this is misleading to consumers. Please be very careful and read all the fine print before purchasing travel insurance from Tick Travel.

Went away on a holiday in December, had an accident with my hire car. Sent through all the necessary documents straight away as requested. Took six months to get a payout from them with about 15 calls in between and countless headaches. They don’t really care. It took them forever and there was absolutely no responsibility on their behalf. Do not recommend using this insurance at all. Show details
Tick insurance is not legit. Don't trust reviews here. They are a total con and they offer no "unlimited"policy. I was st^pid and gullible enough to… Read more
trust fake reviews here of people who never made a claim. Some maybe offered rewards to write fake positive reviews or maybe employees. When I fell sick abroad, they didn't contact me. I paid money to hospital and return ticket and when I returned to Australia, they told me "you did not proof of travel" and I had given them tickets, copies of visas, transit hotel in Singapore and its in public record the Abu Dhabi Air space was closed on 3/03/2026, yet they paid nothing. I got abused and bullied for filling a claim and may have to go to court. Would be good for class action by others who got injured
Follow-up · I suffered from Malaria and Vertigo. A practicing doctor overseas certified the medical report(the document on Tick Insurance website) and gave me treatment for vertigo. I was also treated from malaria and paid-given Tick Insurance absconded when I filed claim and never contacted me when overseas, other than to acknowledge I had filed the claim. A… Read more

Injured overseas? No cover back in Australia! I had snow sport injury abroad and made a claim. They needed a lot of evidence which was difficult to obtain in a foreign country. Unfortunately after returning to Australia my injuries were not yet healed/resolved and I have had to see a physio multiple times, a chiro many times, have remedial… Read more
therapy and x-rays back in oz.
To my surprise the PDS specifically says "...not covered for..." .... "Any treatment, medication or any other additional expenses as detailed under section B1 that occur after you return back to Australia."
I guess that's how most insurance companies are but I was surprised. I was covered by insurance when I had my injury but only expenses overseas were covered. If I had known that I would have had seen more medical professionals there.
They did cover the overseas bills, but they were a small amount compared to the other bills.

I have used Tick Travel a few times always found the website easy to access, use, understand. On occasions I have sent them an email asking a question, they have been prompt with their response and clear. Can highly recommend them. Show details
This policy was well priced and easy to set up. We haven't travelled overseas for a very long time and were unsure who to booked with, but this company is always used by our friends who travel regularly. Even though we are both over 70 we weren't penalised by unrealistic demands and premiums. Hopefully we won't need to claim when we travel in October. Show details
