Essential Travel Reviews 

Have booked child cover before very competitive price everything covered for going abroad, simple and easy to do on line , will book again and recomend to others.

I remembered about travel insurance a couple of days before we travelled. I was able to get a quote immediately online and see 3 levels of cover described clearly and in detail. Having chosen what I wanted I was able to pay easily and had immediate peace of mind for our trip.

I booked my son some travel insurance today. I searched the net and found a site called Essential Travel. They offered superior insurance with sports cover for £5 for one week in Europe. I booked it straight away through there website very quick and easy. This is a company I will be using again.

Had to make a claim, NOT impressed with policy or White Horse administration!

Not that cheap a policy, but it seemed clear and straight forward, and I always read the small print. to be aware, and so I can pack accordingly. I have used Essential travel every year for years, however I don't think I will continue! Sneaky small print and "in my opinion" misleading wording, meant I could claim for less than a third of what went missing, which after excess was not worth bothering.

So it looks like I am saying good bye to my long standing custom with Essential!

I would recommend essential to anyone. as it is good value for money as I have used the hoilday ins every year very happy with the ins .

Excellent price with the reassurance that the backing company is Thomas Cook

Essentialtravel.co.uk was incredibly helpful when booking insurance, a multitude of choice means everybody can find what they need with ease.

I wanted a company that offers protection for snowboarding, diving and all general illness/cancellation etc, and one that could offer this for more then 1 year. The most important thing was I wanted laptop protection but they only offer up to £500 single item, which is similar to most other companies. Went with ET because the website was more straightforward and info clearer than other sites. Not sure how they perform if I need to claim but I'm hoping I won't need to...

I picked this website as my children were going skiing with their relatives, but we weren't going with them, so i had to take out travel insurance for just those two. I used you guys last year and it was fast and simple.

So easy to use ,all information needed is clear to understand

The online site is just easy to use & it was exactly what I needed

Finding insurance that you want has never been easy until now.
Using a search engine at 7:30pm on Wednesday to buy insurance didn't fill me with joy. Mant options came up in the initial search. However, one jumped out from the rest - Essential Travel.
I quickly inputted the data required amd Hey Presto the cost popped up. Boy was I taken aback!! For two children to ski for one week a total premium of under £9. Yes, £9.
So, I know it's hard to believe but don't waste your time trawling through all the trashy companies - go direct to Essential Travel.
All your needs met in a flash!!

Daughter on a school trip. Not sure whether covered by insurance, Night before trip AAArggghhh
Essential travel to the rescue.
Credit card ready.
Easy as one two three and daughter covered for the trip ahead the next day.

Relief felt. Daughter safe. Slept well that night!

used this site to search for my 12yr old daughter as a stand alone policy. Not a lot would cover as just a. Child brilliant prices and system get checking

Booked to hire a car when we arrive at Lake Garda. Had already booked the holiday the previous week. Girl I spoke to was informative, helpful and it took very little time to book it. We discussed car options and she helped me decide which car most suited our needs. All done very efficiently with no stress involved.

Travel insurance is essential and from this company you get a very easy to complete questionairre with clear to read cover levels that are exceptional value for money. I have renewed my travel insurance several times with this company because I feel confident that if I should need to make a claim they will be happy to guide me through the process and provide the advice and funds when I need it.

I've booked a few things with Essential Travel, mostly parking and insurance. Never had to use the insurance part thankfully, but the parking has been fine every time, so hopefully Gatwick will be the same as I've not parked at this carpark before. Easy to use website, giving you loads of choices, so would happily recommend it.

Having gone through the various Q &As in online policy application form - no chance to review details before payment. ended up having a policy not for the dates chosen but for the actual date was filling in form - no use whatsoever - and unable to cancel as obviously was current. disappointing!!

Have recently turned 70 and my Barclays account cover dos not cove me when I turn 70 I needed a one off specific weeks cover and found that essential gave me the best
choice to suit the cover I wanted

I searched many sites but fond this one to be the most the most comprehensive site and one I can trust them
