Very happy with the help I got along the way when I had to make a claim. Would highly recommend any to use 1Cover and I would be signing up again.
Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Always looking for the best options for their customers. Excellent customer service.
Superb. Couldn’t rate 1Cover any higher. 10/10. Exceptional service.
The policy is a must have when traveling for peace of mind alone and is very good value..
