Avanti - Travel Insurance for pre-existing conditions (are they legitimate?)
Hi guys,
My wife and I are travelling to the USA in January and, because of my wife’s medical conditions, the insurance is pretty costly.
Bare bones, ie minimum cover, quotes range from £1010 to around £3,000
The cheapest is Avanti and before booking I checked them out on Trustpilot. The score was 4.8, out of 5 based on 115,000 reviews.
I thought that sounded pretty good until I drilled down and carefully read a couple of hundred of the latest reviews.
Turns out all the 5 star reviews relate to the handling of sales whereas the 1 star reviews (2230 according to Trustpilot, in total) were all relating to complaints about claim handling/non-handling
I struggled when trying to find a registration with the FCA; looks like the Trading name is owned by a company registered in Gibraltar.
I wondered if you guys could throw any light on this company; Avanti.
Kind regards, Mike
