Great company

My son broke his leg in Greece recently and Fast Cover were absolutely fabulous. I want to thank you so much for taking care of him so well. Greatly appreciated being so helpful and so prompt. I am telling all family and friends to take Fast cover out for their next holiday.

Very Efficient and Consumer Friendly

Everything about this Travel Insurance is excellent. It had a very efficient and fast on-line application system which produced the policy, approved it and sent me a copy. I had to make a claim as one of my bags got damaged during the journey. The claim procedure was very efficient and very prompt. It was approved and the funds deposited into my bank account within a few days. I would recommend this policy to any and all travellers.
