Good Points: Good valueEasy to buy insurance online
Bad Points: None I suppose
General comments: I got Post Office Travel Insurance for a recent holiday to Spain with some friends. I've never been into the whole holiday insurance thing - generally I've stuck with the notion that "it can't possibly happen to me".That said, the last thing I wanted was to be stuck in Spain with illness/injury etc. Plus my policy covered me for lost luggage, which was good bearing in mind the fiasco with BA and their luggage disaster (which was in full swing at the time).Suffice it to say, I didn't need the insurance. But for £15 (same as a round of drinks at the bar) I at least knew I was covered.

Fair do's to all travel insurance it is only useful for medical and emergency services - if you want to claim for personal belongings check your home insurance covers you - its a better deal. Since using the Post Office travel Insurance for the first time 4 year ago, my husband and I use it every year. I ended up in hospital in France for 2 week and the service couldn't have been better. They dealt with everything, even covered my husbands costs of travelling back to UK with my daughter then hi ...

Post Office Travel Insurance refused to pay although I have a doctors note ( £15) they insist on two notes from Ryanair ( £15 each) for each flight I haven't flown on. How could I fly, I have a doctors note, clearly stating I was unable to travel. A cancellation note from the car hire company although I didn't cancel this as I only knew the day of the holiday I wouldn't be able to use it. This is the same for the house I rented.They said when I initially phoned and said I would b ...

I got my Post Office travel insurance on the day of departure of my trip. I just popped to the post office before setting off. Once I paid, I was covered. Simple as that.
However, one cannot rate an insurance company without making a claim, which I did. The claim process is fairly straight forward. I called up the helpline number, and a few days later, the claim form arrived.
After I had sent off the claim form with all requested documents, I got my cheque of £550 within 2 weeks. The ...

You would expect a camcorder to be covered for theft whilst you are on holiday wouldn't you? If you leave them in a locked car, and even out of sight they are not covered with the Post Office Travel Insurance. There is in fact no cover under the policy for valuables unless they are carried by you, or locked in the hotel room safe. Valuables are amongst some of the personal items that you might take with you on holiday, such as a Camera, camcorder, watch, binoculars, and radio etc. So, once you r ...

I was initially very pleased with the Post Office travel insurance, underwritten by Fortis, when I first purchased it for a trip to Germany and Poland this past summer. The staff at the Post Office were extremely friendly, and recommended the policy highly as 'covering everything.'The telephone staff were also very warm on initial inquiries. Of course, when the actual crunch came and I had to claim for something, in my case, shipping costs for a repaired camera (the repair itself was free from ...

Whenever I head abroad, my travel insurance is taken care of by Her Majesty and co at the Post Office. I do this as it is quick and easy and covers all the bases you need from a decent holiday insurance provider. They are also very cheap to use, but if you holiday more than once a year, then there are other companies who may serve you better with a long term insurance plan.
