Gallagher Bassett Omdömen 

Want to give zero but one star is only available option. Came to update, after months of chasing we received an email saying paying £40 ... It's criminal. We are £1500 out of pocket through several none weather cancelled flights. Followed absolutely everything we were told to do by airline. This was not entry level insurance either. They are criminals operating on the absolute fringes of legality and with the worst customer service imaginable. We were blatantly lied to throughout the claim by staff we did managed to speak to and they haven't even covered half of the claim. Utterly utterly disgusted. How anybody can sleep at night working here I do not know. Shameful Cowboys.

As predicted. A standard response from Gallagher Bassett. I did manage to get through by 'phone. They then sent an email asking for documents I had already sent them, twice. I am still awaiting settlement. How do they get away with it.

Shortly, I will be filing with the state of Illinois who licenses places like Gallagher Bassett and I will be seeking others looking for a Class Action Lawsuit against them. There are so many 1 star reviews and they can pretend all they want as they skirt the law. Don't worry Gallagher Bassett, you will be getting your upcoming soon! So far, I have found numerous complaints from workman's comp to travel insurance to health insurance delays. We need to band together against shady companies like this one!
My husband is dealing with their workman's comp right now and they first approved him. Some lady comes back from vacation and says, "Well, I didn't approve it so I'm denying it now." So, this lady is A) Got a Napoleon complex. B) Using stupid delay strategy.
And Gallagher Bassett, don't even try to pretend like you care because you don't. So, don't waste you time with "Sorrys". We will be reporting your business license and anything else we can. I hope your employees enjoy an investigation by the news media and the State of Illinois!

If I could give this company a negative star I would. I have never, NEVER, been able to speak to the person in charge of my claim. Typical insurance company whose idea is to stall and eventually wear out the customer so we don't have to pay on claims. No wonder Menards insures through this company, they both offer cheap goods with no service. Truly pathetic!!

completely & utterly useless... I took out insurance for a holiday, claimed at the start of the week & not heard a word back, the claims form online was a disaster to fill out & all in all just been a terrible service

*Edit*

they've since rang me today, 2 weeks later... saying I will need a doctors note to claim & even then it's not guaranteed, just absolutely useless

4 months and still waiting for this awful company to pull their fingers out never use them

Gallagher Bassett is horrible. A UPS truck hit my car an caused serious anxiety to me an damaged my car. The insurance adjuster has not returned any of my phone calls regarding the repair of my car. I am going to take legal action this point. If I could have left zero stars, I would have. Poor communication and horrible customer service.

My Claim was put in to Gallagher Bassett after an 8 month ordeal with Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough Council. Ive tried calling, emailing and had no response. I was told NBBC had 90 days to respond, which has passed now by a long shot! I have tried contacting and I am just permanently ignored. Phones are never answered, emails not responded to. Very fed up and will be looking at legal action should it not be resolved.

This company is horrible! I'm so sick and tired of getting bounced around from worker to worker. You send them everything and they lie about your payments. They are never in the office. Don't return emails or phone calls. They don't care! Such a disappointment!

They are GRUBS. The nonsense they deliberately put you through ruins innocent peoples lives & tears families apart.
It's 1 big game they play & a disgrace that they're allowed to do what they do.
2.5 years & counting.

Terrible experience. A bit like others have said, they don't do anything. Claims are not looked at and they give themselves arbitrary deadlines they don't meet. Totally unhelpful too. Website portal never updates. I bought through high risk voyager.

Ps already emailed your feedback email 🙄

Great service, help and reassurance from Phovee with our claim when I took ill at the airport recently and was unable to travel. We were supported throughout by Phovee who was helpful and professional, responding quickly to all emails and providing reassurance at a very anxious time. Don't understand the negative reviews - our experience with the company has been a very positive one. Thank you Phovee!

Came here to add to the negative reviews. As consumers we would not have entered into policy purchases had we known this company was the handler.
Like all the below, clearly something has gone terribly wrong with this companies representation to the third parties we are all buying our insurance from (given that they appear to represent so many different companies)
Should be a straight forward travel insurance claim. Zero action, zero response, ping back emails left un actioned. If your here, I guess you also got conned into a policy and are here disappointed and angry trying to warn other too late because we were ALL miss sold. Ombudsman is the only next step. Not holding my breath for a reply anytime soon from these cowboys.

I had to come here to read comments. I used Asda insurance before travelling in November , put in a claim they do not seem to be helping at all. Do not use them please

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE. Avoid at all all costs. Won’t reply to you. Yet when you phone they will tell you that you will receive an email in ‘1-2 business days’- absolute rubbish. It’s been 4 weeks and still nothing.

If you work here, please ask management why they don’t respond to emails.

Shocking company, it’s taken 5 months of be chasing up ( I emailed again after a month had passed), sending in documents etc, sleepless nights to be then told… we won’t cover you! Joke of a company I would avoid at all costs to be honest, they make out like what you tell them is made up and even tho you pay for cover, when you try claim you get absolutely nowhere. Getting robbed aboard is a very stressful situation, and even more stressful when you don’t get any help atall.

I got a call from the main company ( not Gallagher Bassett ) apologizing for the service and how long will it taken just to be declined they also offer be 250 pounds compensation as a sorry (Which I highly appreciate).

So this is a scam company, do not take out insurance with them atall they won’t help when it’s needed the most, shocking customer service will avoid and recommend to anyone to avoid.

STAY AWAY FROM INSURE AND GO THEY USE GALLAGHER BASSETT. don’t cover you for anything, take months to even review things and then take even longer to make decisions

I submitted a claim on 7th January 2026. Rang today for an update and was told it was in a queque and she could not giv e me a timeline as to when it would be reviewed and if it would be subsquently paid out.
Beware if you claim on All Clear Travel Insurance.
All Clear claim 99%+ claims are paid within 5 working days. I must be one of the 1% unlucky ones.

I'd like to single out Marnie, who i spoke to on Friday 16 Jan 2026

The claim has been going on for some time, but Marnie helped me today getting the final paperwork emailed through and onto the claim.

Her professionalism and lovely manner were spot on and I feel reassured its now all going in the right direction.

She gave me a timeline of the final steps in the claim and I look forward to hearing all is in order and payment will be made to us

Thanks to the whole team, its not been easy as the claim is linked to the loss of a dear family member

I was referred to these bandits after filing a claim with INSURE & GO who agreed on the phone I had a claim. Now, according to these bandits (Gallagher) I don't. I have asked INSURE & GO several times in emails for a copy of the audio recording - you guessed it, no reply! I will be taking matters further and involving the Ombudsman, Rip off Britain. There is currently a webpage being developed which explains the stupidity & 'get outs' used by both this outfit and the other Gringos. I have asked Jessica F (Gallagher) to explain her calculation used to determine a no claim - again just ignored! The webpage will be shared on all social media platforms to which 1 follower has in excess of 420,000 followers. These two outfits: INSURE & GO & GALLAGHER are utterly disgusting & I intend to expose them for what & who they are.

Jan 15th:

Insure & Go replied (See review TRUSTPILOT on their site) - no doubt due to the truthful & disgusting customer service, so far. The claim has been escalated & they are dealing with it direct, cutting out these COWBOY BANDITS, Gallagher.

Why any reputable company would use this DOG & PONY outfit, beggars belief!

Jan 16th: See their reply
Jan 17th: No reply
Jan 18th: No reply

Jan 19th:

The Bandits sent an email saying they have now looked at my claim again, here's the outcome from them:

Suitcase purchased in 2019 - £110.00

Less 20% wear & tear

Less £60.00 excess

>>> Pay out: £28.00 <<<

I dispute the 20% 'wear & tear' as utter rubbish. We were in full lockdown for 2 years with the COVID rubbish and travel was not possible. The first time this case been used was on this holiday in September, so effectively it is BRAND NEW!

I can provide photos that will prove this. Not once have you asked me about the condition of this case - not once! You just automatically ASSUME the worst. Anything to reduce the claim. Your reviews say it all about who and WHAT YOU ARE!

Webpage almost complete, time for social media, to let innocent people know about you Bandits, and to be sure to ask who handles the claims when taking out travel insurance; if it's you lot? Don't take out the insurance! Your reviews say it all.
