Quick refund – Sadly we had to cancel our holiday to Norfolk Island because of Covid . Notified Kit on Tuesday and money was refunded in our account by Friday. Fantastic service. We shall rebook when we can and insure with Kit again.  Show details

Very flexible policy – When travel dates changed I was able to adjust the policy dates with no hassles. The conclusion I have is that the policy was very flexible. I believe that a good company should offer flexible products.  Show details

Best travel insurance ever – Very easy to identify which policy best suits your needs. We had to cancel our trip to NZ last year due to Covid. As we had purchased the policy prior to Covid, Kit refunded in full within a matter of days.We have used kit several times and have a current policy, for our upcoming trip to NSW. Would not insure with any other provider. Show details

Good cover and fast response – This was my first time using Kit travel insurance. My basic policy was well priced and easy to set up. I had to cancel the trip due to Covid. Kit's online claims service was good to use, with clear guidelines. Once I had all my documents in order, my claim was processed quickly and I received the full amount back. I'm very happy with Kit travel Insurance and would use them again.  Show details

Impressive – Very comprehensive insurance cover with competitive pricing. So glad I found 'Travel with KIT'. So easy to understand & set up. My only disappointment was not being able to buy additional cover for an excluded pre-existing medical condition. Will definitely be recommending 'Travel with KIT' to my fellow travellers. Show details

Extremely Disappointed – Supposed value for money except if a claim has to be made. Contact was made with all the relevant paperwork to endorse my claim via their claim form on line. It stated that because of the present travel situation it could take up to a month for the claim to be processed. 3 months later + over 10 phone calls and numerous emails later - still no… Read more

reply. Claim form and appropriate documentation resubmitted via from my personnel email account to claims@travelwithkit.com but NO COMMUNICATION from them at all. I travel frequently and this is the first and last time I would ever use this company. DO NOT USE THEM.

Surprise result – My overseas trip had to be cancelled owing to COVID. To my surprise and delight my complete premium was refunded to me. Not what I expected from an Insurance Company. Will use Kit again when next I travel. Show details

Took a while to process COVID cancellation claim but they came through and paid a full refund so we're very happy – We chose TWK because it was listed on the Seniors website, included a good discount for seniors and covered for travel to Iran. It was easy to set up online. Show details

one of the best on the market, excellent policy – I am very pleased that i was directed to KIT by a friend, and as a result, I have taken out several travel policies with KIT. I am very pleased with the prices, particulary given that I am over 70, the cost is one of the best going to date, I would reccomend KIT to anyone who wishes to travel and have full coverage, and it is pleasing to know that… Read more

KIT does NOT take advantage of it's older clients by bumping up the prices to a ridiculous pricing.. I am happy to say that in any futore travel adventures, that, I will certainly call KIT and arrange our policy. Thank you for the opertunity for me to thank KIT for the great service i have received in the past. Gus Campbell.

KIT were everything you could want from a travel insurance firm – Excellent value. But more imortanly they are real people who are doing all they can to help their customers in these crazy pandemic times. Full refund issued with no questions at all when my travel plans were cancelled due to Covid 19. Just wish other operators were as helpful and honest. When travel resumes I will absolutley use and recommend KIT. Thanks so much guys Show details

Excellent Policy and Support – I booked my travel insurance with this company, and have to say what an excellent service I have received. The communication is instant and with these unprecedented times the response I got did ease the worry and stress of being stranded after my return flights from the UK were cancelled by the airline. The claim procedure on-line was easy to… Read more

Best Travel insurance company – My policy was a basic policy which was easy to set up. As my cruise was cancelled and I no longer required insurance, I wrote and explained my situation. Without any fuss, my money was quickly refunded and I was reimbursed. I would recommend Kit in the future. Show details

Not what we were expecting – Easy to use, looked as if it would be good value, BUT after many emails and phone calls our claim was never fully completed.We had major problems with the person who was doing the claim,he kept sending us emails saying that he did not receive info. etc that we sent. After weeks of this we were told that our claim was to go to a review, we have heard nothing since! Show details

Best travel insurance company – My policy was very good value and so was my husbands. We only had the basic cover and it was easy to set up. My husband returned home sooner than me as I had longer away. As the covid-19 crisis worsened around the world I was in constant contact with the insurance company who always answered my calls and gave me good, clear and informative… Read more

instructions. I did make a claim on my return home and even though the company was inundated with claims mine was processed within 3 months. It was my first time with this company but will definitely be using them in the future.

Lacked help when needed most – It was easy to take out but terms were not stated clearly and precisely. When making a claim the response time was very slow. The response I got was only suggestive of an outcome which diswaded me from proceeding further. I feel let down as a first time insurer using this type of policy and so will look elsewhere in my future travels. Show details

Travel with Kit is a wonderful insurer! – My policy with Travel with Kit was inexpensive and easy to arrange online which is not always the case for those who, like me, are over 70. We had only just begun a trip to Norway when COVID 19 struck & our entire tour was cancelled. Ben at Travel with Kit responded almost immediately to my panicky emails & was most reassuring as we scrambled to… Read more

cancel some flights & accommodation & reschedule others. My claim was settled about a month after I lodged it which was impressive given the huge number of claims all insurers must be facing during this crisis. In contrast, my partner faced endless requests for more info, and unreasonable demands that he contact overseas providers and his claim is still not settled. I would wholeheartedly recommend Travel with Kit - they did exactly what a good insurance company should do: they had my back when things got tough!

Not good enough – Items and cash were stolen in Bangkok., We made a claim, As far as completing the claim they were very quick. Quick to pay us less than 50% of the total value we lost. They won't let you talk to the person handling your claim. You can only send emails or talk to the reception, You can see why, read on. No communication no reason why. No chance… Read more

for us to reply. They sent an email basically " this is what you are getting" and at the same time, sent by EFT 50% less than what we claimed, We had receipts, a Jewelers valuation, a Police report, etc. Absolutely no reason for this Company to gip us out of 50% of our claim. They should say in their PDF "We only pay half of what you claim". Imagine if you could not supply what they requested, you would get ZILCH, I could take them to court and win, its a no brainer to win, But I avoid grief just like you should think twice and AVOID this company. Don't take that expensive Camera or anything of value without making sure you have proof that you actually have them. We had everything and they Dudded us. Avoid avoid avoid,

I only paid for what I needed – I've been looking for a travel insurer that allowed me to pay for what I needed. This brand has packs that you can add so you're only paying for what you need. I was travelling for work so I could add the business pack and the water pack.
