05/05/2010 Flexicover Direct have let us down, we were stranded in Brunei for 6 nights because of the volcanic ash cloud... Guess what we are not covered... Wouldn't use again!!!
29/04/2010 Flexicover direct were of no help whatsoever when I was stranded in Singapore/Malaysia for 6 days after the volcano erupted. They wont even pay delay charges. I no longer have confidence in them.
24/04/2010 Flexicover may be competitive but their service is poor when you come to claim. Om it was due to the volcanic ash our holiday was cancelled but we got a short sharp NO! wouldn't renew with them if they were the last company on earth!
24/11/2009 Whilst their bargain basement quote came back at almost half what Amex quoted us, their "gold" cover was actually £10 more expensive than Amex's comparable product. We decided to buy the full coverage through Amex as we know the brand. If you're only buying insurance because you feel you have to or are single and don't have kids to worry about I'd certainly recommend looking at their bargain cover prices. not for me though.
17/07/2009 Flexicover always replies competive rates
02/10/2008 Flexicover's travel insurance form was extremely easy to use, and their website was generally well designed. Their single trip quote was by far the cheapest I've had from anywhere: just £8.80 to cover a fortnight's trip to Europe, including baggage and money cover - I was really pretty impressed. It doesn't include cancellation cover, but their slightly more expensive option (£11) does, for up to £2,000. Their quote for annual cover was actually cheaper than some companies have quoted me for a single trip!
16/06/2008 Quote for single trip insurance was dead quick, you literally only had to fill in about five or six questions. The price was really cheap as well, and offered the price for with and without baggage cover without you having to ask. It also gave the option to upgrade to the annual trip cover which didn't seem to be a lot more. There was a 'compare us to our competitors' button but I'm a bit sceptical that the prices were that accurate. Was quite handy to see how the actual policy inclusions compared though without having to go to all the other sites.
12/06/2008 I found this a really easy to use travel insurance website. The options are clearly labelled and the key points reasonably clearly explained - eg ski insurance with or without baggage cover. They don't cover more extreme holidays (eg mountaineering) but would be a great (and I think pretty cheap) option for standard trips.
28/05/2008 Another travel insurance website. Looks a bit cheap, but the best deal I have seen so far. It is slightly more expensive than some of the others for an annual policy for a couple, by a mere £3. The cover offered is really good. And unlike others, the max trip is 50 days not 30. Again, groups of up to 20 can be covered. Hadn't heard of this one but would definitely consider. Can't be used by over 65's, they apparently have a special site for that but I couldn't see it.
