We value your feedback

I recently renewed my car insurance, and the process was seamless from start to finish. The team was professional, efficient, and took the time to explain my options clearly. What stood out most was their excellent customer service—friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to assist with any questions. I truly appreciated the hassle-free experience and the speediness of the process. Highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a smooth and stress-free renewal process!

What are my rights if my flight is cancelled?

If your flight is cancelled for any reason, and regardless of when you are notified, your airline must offer you the choice between:

1) Re-routing as soon as possible, subject to availability, free of charge.

2) Re-routing at a later date.

3) A full refund.

If you believe compensation is due, then the first step is to formally contact the airline or travel provider. If you're not satisfied with its response, then you can escalate by contacting the National Enforcement Body - which, in most cases for Irish passengers, is the Commission for Aviation Regulation (01 661-1700; www.flightrights.ie).

I have a medical condition. Can I buy your travel insurance?

Before you buy a policy and have a medical condition, we ask you to confirm that you are NOT

Receiving or on a waiting list for treatment in a hospital or nursing home;
Waiting for investigation or referral, or the results of any investigation, medical treatment or surgical procedure, for any condition, whether diagnosed or un-diagnosed;
Choosing not to take prescribed medication, or the correct dose of prescribed medicine;
Travelling against the advice of a medically qualified doctor;
Travelling to obtain medical, dental or cosmetic treatment;
Travelling with a terminal condition;

If you can confirm these and the other statements we ask you to confirm, you can buy our cover online.

Do I have to buy travel insurance at any specific time?

Yes. To protect your own interests you should purchase travel insurance cover at the same time you purchase your travel package. You can buy it at a later date but it will not cover events which have already occurred.

When does my cover begin? When does it end?

If you are buying a single trip policy, your cancellation cover begins instantly. If you are buying an annual policy, you can choose when your cover begins (up to 180 days in the future). If you have already booked a holiday, and have no other travel insurance arrangements in place, you should ensure your policy starts immediately, so you are covered for cancellation.

Am I covered for holidays I take within Ireland?

Yes, provided you have bought an annual policy. You must spend at least two nights in accommodation you booked before your departure. So a weekend break involving two nights in a hotel would be covered, but a day out and overnight stop wouldn't. If you have bought a single trip policy you will not be covered for holidays in the Republic of Ireland. Whichever policy you buy, some benefits are not payable for holidays in the Republic of Ireland. See the Policy Wording for full details.
