We will be in touch
About the only thing you need to really work, FIRST TIME, with travel insurance, is the emergency help number. With NFU - according to the information pack and website - it's 0800 22 92 92. Great.
Except it doesn't work. Turns out (while you're lying in a hospital or have no money / car keys / wallet / phone etc) that the number doesn't exist and tracking down the alternative is exceptionally hard work involving 30 minutes of digging around on Google. It's underwritten by a French company, who helpfully don't publish the direct claim number either.
FFS, how hard is it?!
that's pretty bad and I have had to call a few.
Make a complaint and also to the FSA (financial services authority)
NFU car insurance also, avoid!
Flaperon - are you stuck somewhere?
website also has this info on it:
