It was relatively easy to understand how to book and was an easy site to navigate. Best fo all was the fact that you were willing to send me a hard copy of the contract and terms and conditions at no extra charge. Much appreciated.

One-way travel insurance via USA, with cruising.

We were looking for one-way travel insurance via the USA and cruising. The main issue is if something happens in the USA. The information was clear, the pricing was clear and questions were answered promptly by Tracey.

The info for the quote was easy

The info for the quote was easy, I just didn't notice that I had to type my country of residence twice, or in a different section.
I called after I purchased the insurance and the young lady on the line was really nice and helpful.
Thank you I will purchase with you again in the future.

Compensation.

I have been insured with this company a few times, unfortunately I was ill on my last trip so I put in my claim for compensation. It was all dealt with very professionally and in a timely manner. Will definitely use them again.

Poor services / unreliable

My sister lodged a claim after loosing or stolen mobile phone at the airport. She was shut off by one of customer service worker, to get more information and paperwork from the airport. She had already obtained the paperwork/lost of property from the airport. How can one go back to the same airport to get more information.
Dissatisfied and truly disappointed by such unscrupulous act, just another way to offset the liability.

Worst travel insurance I ever bought!

This is just a front for selling insurance. If you try making a claim, it is horrendous and a very outdated process. I had to visit a doctor while travelling and my claim was directed to Healthwatch SA who requested by email, for me to fill a huge pile of PDF forms (some even in Greek?). Even though most forms were not relevant, my claim was not going to be processed without all the forms being filed. The process is very bureaucratic and outdated, and most probably designed to make you give up on claiming, which in my case, worked. Stay away.

Thank you for your feedback, Globelink uses the claims handlers appointed by the insurer of your policy, and in line with good conduct regulatory rules as a retailer of insurance we have no rights to make or influence claims decisions but if you supply via email your claim details or reference number we can ask for your claim to be assessed as soon as possible – globelink@globelink.eu Once we have this information we will of course pass this for the urgent attention of the insurer and ask them to prioritise a response.

About as bad as it can be!

Well, “Globelink” answered the phone quickly and were very responsive. Unfortunately, Globelink is only the front end, which only exists to sell policies. The web site will tell you that since 2020, all claims handling has been outsourced to Collinson Group. However, that's not true. It changed again 6 months ago to Healthlink, but they haven´t updated their web site. Contacting Collinson is just another delay in the process of making a claim. Now, if Globelink deign to answer this review, they're going to make some vacuos comment "like send us your details and we'll investigate." So, to review the claims process, check web site, contact Collinson and provide all details, then contact Healthline and provide all details, then write a review on Trustpilot and wait for a new email from Globelink that you can send all details to again. I don't know what happens next - maybe I'm still sleeping on an airport couch somewhere waiting for my insurance company to get me home!

We are sorry to see your feedback on Collinson Claims who were employed by the Insurers to handle claims for policies purchased prior to October 2022, since October 2022 the Insurers have updated the Claims Handler for EU residents to Healthwatch.gr. but your particular claims handler contact details, depending on when you purchased your policy, can be found on your certificate of insurance, the policy wording and via the Make A Claim page on the website. They operate within strict FCA codes of service practice and are only able to pay claims that are covered by the terms of the policy. We do appreciate it’s disappointing when a claim hasn’t been assessed so again we ask if you could supply some details of the potential claim to us at Globelink we can pass this back to the Insurers to have these details reviewed as soon as possible for you.

Good website but over 66 loading excessive

Easy to navigate website, no legalistic jargon easy to understand what is and is not covered. On the negative side the over 66 extra costs does not take into account that there are many senior citizens with high levels of fitness and in very good health.

Cheap for a reason

The third party claims team sucks. The policy sucks. They won't cover cancelled flights or the new purchased flights. Their forms take forever to fill out and they ask for so much information (more than any other insurance company has). They take forever to get back to you and overall just been a waste of money. Cheap for a reason. Won't make that mistake again

Globelink uses the services of the claims handler appointed by the insurer of your policy, however, we are disappointed to hear you feel this fell below the high levels we expect from their claims team, we take your feedback seriously and will ensure it is passed back to the Underwriters and claim handlers for their immediate attention.

Rejected the claim without any reasonable explanation

My wife got Covid during our trip, we called the Globelink assistance, they asked us to make an official test in a hospital, we took a taxi, made the test and etc. But when we made a claim after returning home, the claim was rejected by Collinson Group. We even did not get back money for the taxi. I asked the manager: "Do you really understand the stupidity of the situation? Why you asked us to go and take the test, and now we even cannot get back the money for the taxi? We could just do nothing and save more money." So, it is a very smart scheme - if everything is Ok, you write a good review here, if not - you write a bad review to some other companies handling the claims.

Avoid like the plague

As others state, fine until you make a claim and then they don’t want to know.
Had to wait 30 minutes on the phone to speak with someone who was beyond hopeless.

I paid a fortune for my insurance as didn’t want to take any risks but of course the wriggle out of any claim. Fortunately it was a small claim I was making but I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone.
