Columbus Travel Insurance

I was thinking of getting a policy from these people - until I checked their 'Emergency Contact' details online:
Quote:
Emergency Assistance
SAS
Tel +44 (0)870 905 8545 
Fax +44 (0)870 905 8560

If they haven't even grasped the fact that it is either not possible or very exensive to call a UK 08xx number from abroad, I doubt they'll be able to provide a satisfactory Emergency Service.

How not to get customers in one easy lesson .....

Columbus Direct are not listed on the BT phone number database.  A postcode search on Royal Mail reveals Club Direct operating from the same address.  Phone number (per BT) is 01243 817781

I agree, they seem to be two bricks short of a lorryload in the marketing department and would not be surprised if the rest of their organisation is run in the same way.

Maybe their marketing dept. are very clever. 

Have you ever heard of an insurance company making it easy for you to make a claim? If you cannot contact them how you can you lodge a claim?

They're not a bad company.  I've had several policies with them over the years and also made one claim back in the early 90's - They did pay up and handled things quite well!

They do in fact have Geo numbers.  Please try the the following and if they work, please list them on the verified section for others:-

Main              020 7375 0022
Emergency    020 7939 9645
Fax                020 7407 9206

All the best.
