"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 If you try making a claim, it is horrendous and a very outdated process.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 The process is very bureaucratic and outdated, and most probably designed to make you give up on claiming, which in my case, worked.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.

"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!

"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

"Ver helpful on the call and recommended…"

Ver helpful on the call and recommended an easier and less expensive way to manage our policy

"Very easy prolongation of the contract."

Very easy prolongation of the contract.

"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.

"Very friendly and efficient agent and…"

Very friendly and efficient agent and ensured my confidence in placing my one trip travel insurance with Globelink this year which will ensure that I use them again.

"Tracy"

Tracy, as always, was extremely helpful and provided lots of options for us to think about before we made our decision. Thank you
