My recent encounter with Green Tick Travel Insurance has left me deeply disappointed and frustrated. Despite purchasing top cover, including 24-hour medical assistance, the company has not only failed to pay our claim over two months after the event but has also shown a complete lack of assistance during our time of need. This review aims to shed light on the abysmal service provided by Green Tick Travel Insurance, cautioning potential customers to think twice before entrusting their travel safety to this company. Unfulfilled Promises: One of the main reasons we chose Green Tick Travel Insurance was their promise of comprehensive coverage and round-the-clock medical assistance. However, when I found myself in a dire situation, their response was far from what we expected. I required timely medical assistance, needing to access urgent services, including a medical evacuation. We had requested preauthorisation and, it became evident that their claims of providing assistance were nothing more than empty words. Could not get a timely response and therefore had to pay significant costs upfront for potentially lifesaving treatments. We were fortunate to have access to a credit card and funds via family back in Australia to cover up front costs. Lack of Payment:To add insult to injury, Green Tick Travel Insurance has not yet paid out our claim, despite the fact that we held what we believed to be top cover. Their lack of transparency and failure to pay out our claim in a timely manner is not only disheartening but also raises serious questions about their integrity as an insurance provider. It is clear that their commitment to their customers’ well-being is nothing more than a façade. We have since been asked to fill out form after form and answer not applicable questions. Unhelpful Customer Service:When we finally managed to reach their customer service department, we were met with unhelpful and dismissive attitudes. Instead of addressing our concerns and providing the assistance we desperately needed, they seem more interested in deflecting blame and avoiding responsibility and have since stopped replaying to emails and despite numerous requests have not returned out calls. This complete disregard for customer satisfaction is utterly unacceptable and reflects a lack of professionalism on their part. Conclusion:My experience with Green Tick Travel Insurance has been nothing short of a nightmare. Their failure to fulfill their promises, refusal to pay our claim, and unhelpful customer service have left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. I strongly advise potential customers to steer clear of this company and explore other options for their travel insurance needs. Green Tick Travel Insurance has proven itself to be unreliable, unworthy of our hard-earned money and untrustworthy to take care of travel insurance needs.

I found the travel insurance policy which I purchased with Tick to be a total waste of money. My luggage was recently lost by the airline whilst travelling. I had originally purchased the most premium of Tick's insurance policies, however when I contacted their claims department, the only items that they told me that they are prepared to reimburse me for is for essential clothes and toiletries. The stipulation was that all non-English receipts need to be officially translated. The thing is that I can buy some basic clothing for less than €100 Euros but will spend 3 times as much in getting all invoices translated. So basically it will cost me more money to lodge a claim. I will also not be reimbursed for the laptop which I kept in my suitcase. I am therefore cutting my losses and will cut short my trip and return early as it's simply going to be too expensive to both holiday and replace my lost items. By the way, Tick will not cover the cost associated with my change of ticket request. Despite having top cover and being insured for delayed baggage, personal belongings, and cutting my trip short, Tick have simply broken all the rules and not interested in looking at looking at my claim. I will not use Tick again and I don't recommend them. Please avoid at all costs. The Tick brand has no value and seems to be a complete scam

My father in law passed away in Germany 5 days prior to my flight back to Australia. Tick insurance rejected my claim for cancelled airfares - which I had to cancel for obvious reasons - due to the death being in Germany, not Australia. This feels like a loophole they are using to avoid a very legitimate claim. I shouldn't be surprised, I guess, but this is not what I would have hoped for with the top level of cover and is certainly not what I needed at this time.

Tick Insurance has it covered ..... you sort of. For example be aware that if you make a lost baggage claim you will require proof of ownership, which means a receipt for each and every item in your baggage that you wish to claim for and then these items are subject to a depreciation schedule.. In your PDS page 50 " proof of ownership" to be read in conjunction with page 27 section E1 personal baggage Medical Claim be aware you will need to provide a copy of your outward and inward flight itineary, medicare number, receipts for medical expenses claimed along with a copy of bank credit card statement showing payment for items claimed. Most importantly you will need a medical certificate from your doctor ouitlining your "exact" diagnosis and without this your claim will be rejected as in my case and this took 29 days from when the claim was lodged until I was advised of my rejected claim. Worth asking about alchohol tolerance if any as this information is available to your insurer via hospital blood test so worth knowing if your insurance is still with you. Tick unbelievably has award winning rating mainly based on competitive pricing and the level of apparent inclusions.... how would your baggage claim work for you

AVOID THIS COMPANY This company screams dodgy. I purchased travel insurance through them and then received an email asking to submit a review of my experience. (you literally haven't done anything, but explains how they have some good reviews on here) One of my flights got cancelled etc, so I logged in to submit a claim. The Portal just goes to an error message page. this kept happening for the new few days. I finally emailed them on two occasions and have not heard a peep back. AVOID this company.
