Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great Insurance cover at a great price. The web site was so easy to use with no complicated questions, and so easy to fill in.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I have used Alpha before and came back to them with two trips to insure in 2025. Their prices are very competitive and the process of detailing my medical conditions and medications was clear and straightforward.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Worst insurer on the planet. If only I could leave -1 stars. They cancelled my policy after I left the country and if you don't know, it is extremely difficult to get insured (by any provider) once you have already left the country. So, by doing this, they caused me to be without insurance for my entire trip. Cancelling somebody's policy whilst they are already abroad, is just about the worst thing an insurer can do to a customer.
BEWARE of this provider!

(To add insult to injury, they continue to send me marketing emails to this day, even though I have already unsubscribed on numerous occasions.)

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

No cruise cover for longer trips

This rating is due to the time wasted filling out multiple forms and details, only to have to contact support to find out cruise cover doesn't apply to long trip policies.

If this was stated on their cruise cover page it would save a lot of time and effort.

used alpha on my gap year

used alpha for long term travel (9months) across south east asia and were fantastic! had a 4 day hospital stay which i put them in contact with the hospital in thailand and they sorted everything and i didn’t have to pay anything. my cover specifically had no excess so was able to claim for any and all small doctors trips and was able to claim all money back no problem at all, even added an extra document mid claim and that money was also claimed back extremely easily! very helpful and perfect for my trip

Great

Great, no problem except I missed the deadline to renew and therefore had to go through the whole process as a new customer. It would have been helpful to have had the option just to renew again as before without having to go through the process again.

Site easy to use

Site easy to use. Reasonable prices. The best insurance is the one you don't have to use but you know it's there if you need it.
