A great experience.

We had to extend our policy due to flight cancellation/connections and this was made very straightforward reducing further stress. Thankyou

Great Protection

1cover is always our go to for travel insurance. We haven't needed to claim anything for our recent trip but it's good to know that we were protected in any situation.

No cover until you leave the country

Airline changed my flight so I had to change my connecting flight. Airline said not their problem, that is what travel insurance is for. 1Cover said not covered as I hadn't left the country yet. Thank goodness I didn't get ill. I phoned 1Cover and they said they would ring me back, after 3 days I rang them back.

Best price

I have used 1Cover several times and will continue to do so for my travel needs. Very uncomplicated and personnel always polite and helpful .

Easy process

I find it so simple and quick to apply. Have used 1Cover every time I travel - excellent service

Easy to get cover

I love dealing with A1 as the phone service is quick and I can understand what they're saying. Advice is given which is helpful as well.

Medical cover for travel insurance

Your phone contact for assistance was appreciated. With a medical history that needed consideration, the online system became difficult but was resolved by your courteous and professional staff member. Many thanks.

Good application experience

On-line application process very easy and clear including cover for existing conditions. After trying one other on-line insurer we found 1Cover application for quite a complex health issue in a 78 yr old was excellent and so we didn't try anyone else. So not sure of value for money, although it was less than the other insurer we started an application with, and we didn't make any claims.

Making a bad experience better

Really helpful staff from start to finish of my claims experience, very fair assessment of what they would pay and I will highly recommend 1Cover to all my clients moving forward (I'm a broker)

Melbourne trip

My "free" credit card cover rejected because of pre existing conditions. Spoke with 1Cover, completed questionnaire and was accepted with only a $63 additional loading. Much appreciated and would recommend 1Cover.

Claim help

In Vietnam, broke ankle. Case manager 10/10, was fantastic, supported me, understood my needs. A different consultant responded to messages at one stage and upset me immensely (re email sent 25 April and conversation I had with him), wanted me to contact my airline myself. Thank goodness the case manager came back and sorted me out esp my travel arrangements out for me and my escort friend. Air flights and airport treatment A+ Overall a big thanks 1Cover. Got me safely home and stress free

Unfortunately made a claim

This was a most frustrating claim. The person I dealt with was to say the least lacking in my opinion in the maths department! Too frustrating..will never deal with company again or recommend

Happy

Every time myself and my family travels we book with with your company. As I find it covers everything one needs for travel and good price. And good communication after booking. Very happy

Always the best team for travel insurance

Very efficient very helpful very well priced I recommend 1 cover to everyone. I feel confident because I'm covered should anything go wrong. I have had experience of a claim with 1 cover and I felt like a valued customer. Thanks team. ❤

Easy and Simple

Thanks for approving my claim - you all made it really simple (although slightly time consuming!) Saved me a good $200!!

Suggestion

Limiting motorcycle cover to 50cc is too restricting, cover up to 200cc on a standard license would be better.

Awesome company

I had free insurance with my bank as I paid with my Visa, but because I had pre existing conditions, they were going to charge me $100 before even talking to me. 1Cover were far cheaper, much easier to deal with and the person I talked to was so nice - even wished me a happy holiday! Great company.

Excellent, have confidently used 1Cover for years

Have used 1Cover at least once or twice a year for many years now. They are easy to communicate with, very helpful, I feel comfortable with the cover I receive and I did have to do a claim last year due to an accident and they were so helpful and made things quite straight forward. About to book insurance again next week. Would and have recommended them to many.

Èasy to find, use and understand

While I was lucky not to have to claim anything. The experience itself getting it was easy, straightforward and I will use it again.

Details Need to be Made Very Clear

I've just learnt some travel ins companies charge the $100 excess for each part of a claim made not $100 excess for the entire claim. Now I am aware of this I will certainly be checking before purchase. As yet I haven't examined 1Covers policy - but hope this isn't the case. This is an important detail that needs to be shown right up front - not hidden away in the fine print.
