They paid out no questions, that's a measure. I got a comprehensive plan, which included war zone countries (Israel, Myanmar), understanding it only covered non conflict injuries. There are not many companies that do so, so the extra cost was acceptable. We were travelling from Iceland to Greenland when the plane aborted due to technical issues.… Read more
The claim was for a connecting ferry in Greenland, and the transfer to it (via a small boat). Total claim was $2634.10.
It was paid out in full, no questions asked. The payment was timely, being only 2 weeks post the claim. I had paid $2000 insurance for a 3 month trip.
Cannot but be happy.
Highly Recommended – We made a claim after losing an air pod during a long haul flight. We also had flight disruptions that meant we needed to pay for new flights and a hotel. World Care was brilliant, easy to claim and covered our costs. Show details
DONT Use WORLDCARE! – Got insurance from this company cost over $800 our cruise was cancelled the travel company gave a full refund but worldcare would only give a partial 20 percent refund even though we never used there services and didn’t even go on the trip! So disappointing!. Don’t use this company for travel insurance. Show details

WARNING: NOT INSURED IF YOU CONSUME ALCOHOL – If you consume any alcohol, your policy is null and void in the event of any claim. With other travel insurance policies you could find this by searching "alcohol" in their PDS. Worldcare hides it by referring to alcohol as "intoxicating liquor". Search Alcohol and you'll find a few hits but nothing to say your not covered. Deceiving to the consumer. Buyers be warned. Show details

World Care ALLIANZ Too complex to trust – The policy could not cover the effects of the pandemic accepted and understood. I was promised reinstatement of the balance of the policy term after the pandemic restrictions. I asked for reinstatement when things opened up and Allianz said no they made a mistake. At first a yes and a week later a no. Not happy. I have been stuck for the two Covid… Read more
years away from my overseas work and now the two carriers who should carry my flights are resisting reinstating my two business fare tickets. Allianz won't assist in a practical way. World Care turns out to be Allianz's subsidiary so their broker/agent is not my representative. There's been no advice from either Allianz or World Care on what my rights for recourse are to cover the cost of the return leg of my travel. What does anyone out there suggest.? What transpired is that I was offered reinstatement followed by refusal and offers to reimburse me with the balance of my policy payment several times. I have refused reimbursement of the balance of the policy. This is because I believe that I am entitled to have my flights back to the start of my flights out of Johannesburg. So far World Care ALLIANZ is recalcitrant despite the fact that they undertook that the options under the Policy as it was issued would be reinstated. I have no alternative but to do what I can to ensure that I and others like me in my situation do not lose their entitlements under their policy's.
Peace of mind with Worldcare – Worldcare provided us with all our Travel insurance needs for our recent overseas holiday that included some Snow activities. The policy is easy to review and understand with regards to coverage and terms & conditions including the exclusions. The policy was very good value that suited our needs and was easy to obtain a quote then complete the… Read more · 1
policy on-line without the need to involve or pay a high commission to a travel agent. I have had reasons to make a couple of minor claims in the past and Worldcare demonstrated a high level of customer service in resolving these matters. We have been using Worldcare every year for over 10 years now and will continue to do so as long as they remain very competitive and provide a high level of customer service (esp. for claims) that I expect.
June 17th 2019 Update: Wouldn’t go past Worldcare
Comprehensive cost-effective cover that always suits our varying travel needs both overseas and within Australia backed up by a proven claims settlement process (some years ago). A Quick & Efficient quoting and policy issue system. We have been using Worldcare for every year (& more) for the past 10 years.
Excellent product and great customer service! – The policy provided excellent cover in all necessary areas - health, baggage, cancellation fees, rental car collision damage etc. with very competitive pricing. Cover was effected easily online. I needed to make a claim relating to rental vehicle excess (damage). This was settled within two weeks. All communication was efficiently, and easily,… Read more · 2
carried out online. Will definitely purchase this product again.
January 27th 2018 Update: A great product!
This is the second time I have used Worldcare Travel Insurance and will certainly continue to do so for all future overseas trips. The product provides excellent and comprehensive insurance cover for all the necessary things at a most competitive price. It is easy to arrange instant cover online through an easy to navigate website which has easy to understand descriptions of the various levels of insurance cover available. Although (thankfully) I didn't need to make a claim this time, on a previous occasion I did and found the customer service excellent.

Very Satisfied – Excellent value travel insurance which we used for 5 weeks of travel in Europe. Needed to claim for stolen bag and flight delays. Processed claim in less than 2 weeks and paid out without any issues. Highly recommended. Show details · 1
Best travel insurer around – Outstanding. In Feb, we booked an OS trip and took out insurance. Trip was cancelled because, COVID, and while we received flight credits and accom refunds, I just assumed our insurance was money down the drain. But no! Email this week asking whether I’d like it refunded to our credit card or a bank account. I’ve used Worldcare on multiple… Read more · 1
occasions and have had nothing but positive experiences and excellent customer service and advice, but this was the icing on the cake. 100% would recommend
One of the best travel insurance companies around! – Worldcare travel insurance is excellent value for money.

If only they answered their phones!!! – Have called both Worldcare (on hold 21min) and Allianz (on hold 18min) both seperate numbers same voice and music. Answered, silence, then hung up on twice! NOT good enough. Don't ask me to email because I would like to talk to a person. Show details
Hi Wanting insurance Thank you for… Read more
Be careful when you take a policy with this company – I waited at the airport for 7 hours for Jetstar to cancel my flight and was only offered an unreasonable alternative the following day. I am out of pocket for lost accommodation, carport parking and connecting flights. I put my claim in promptly and 10 days later asked for proof of flight cancellation by your company. I provided that and another… Read more
two weeks have gone by for you to advise that you wont payout if a there is a mechanical flight breakdown. That is appalling. I would say I have taken out at least 10 policies with Worldcare Travel and the only time I have had to make a legitimate claim you have dug up some fine print on page 53 saying you wont cover if there is mechanical breakdown. What a joke. If I was robbed and put in hospital you probably have some fine print for that as well.
Seems reasonable - can’t evaluate until a claim is made – The policy fitted my requirements at a reasonable price. However the company cannot be assessed until a claim is made. This is the first time I have insured with this company and I will insure with them again Show details

Damaged baggage – Found not very helpful about putting in a claim for damaged luggage the online form didn’t work and the hard copy I was emailed required you to have tried with the airline first and required so much information so quess you hope it’s too much trouble so we will go away very disappointing Show details
