Hi all,
I've vowed to neg every TID post/deal that comes through, this is so people are aware of my bad experience:
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/856539Summary on experience:
I had a bad experience claiming with Travel Insurance Direct.
There was an earthquake in Japan and I couldn't travel from Tokyo to Osaka due to damage on the train system.
This resulted in me also not being able to arrive to my Osaka hotel.
TID advised me the train company and hotel should compensate me if it was impacted by the earthquake, not them.
TID also requested I get written evidence from the train and hotel companies advising they won't cover me even before they look into my claim.
What's the point of having travel insurance when they're not covering these scenarios.
My work colleague used their credit card travel insurance with the same scenario and no problems claiming.
I advise you to contact other travel insurances with a few scenarios and how they go about compensation eg., like my scenario.
It may be worth the extra money looking elsewhere.
An alternative:
I've done a ton of research on other travel insurance companies post that experience, Tick Travel Insurance was what I ended up with based on price and what they cover:
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/deals/tickinsurance.com.auThey run 15% off promos once in a while.
It's just a suggestion based on my personal experience
Some travel insurance companies have an add-on extra for natural disasters. Is TID one of them or do they cover natural disasters by default ?
Travel delay is only $1000 with tick at the top cover. Prices are great but not sure if $1000 is enough.
Cheers, revoked after reading this
Actually how does one go about using the travel insurance from credit cards?
With Commbank you register your travel through their credit card portal and given a policy number.
With other banks you just google the credit card policy number and keep them on hand with youThanks, that helps with the google searches! I just kept getting the PDF in my previous results
Same deal as ausdave, I will always neg a TID deal as I've had a similar experience
FWIW, TID were great and easy to deal with when I had to claim stuff.
Cheers op
