Insurance - have you Claimed and been Paid?

[Ian]

Looks like small print is coming in to play on a few occasions!!!
Brought from the UK seems a little unfair to me.

I remember when I was first married in 1976 we had a new suite and a party in our first house (semi detached with an integral gargage - very posh!!)

Anyway someone accidentally burnt a hole in the suite with a cigarette - so I claimed on my insurance. When I filled in the form I was asked "did combustion take place" or something like that - I answered No as there was no flame / fire. End result - not covered under fire and theft as no combustion - never trusted an insurance policy ever since!!!

AXA wouldnt pay out on our claim when we were flooded my kitchen had only been fitted 4 months, so dont use AXA

AXA looking a poor choice - thanks for all the info.

It looks to me as though the winners are AK Sigorta & Baris
Top Tips - take photos of your possessions and if you bring things from the UK make sure they are covered on your travel insurance if you can.

Many thanks - Ian

Good post Ian,
All insurers are fine, until you have to make a claim.
We have been with AK Sigorta for over five years and fortunately have not had to make a claim,(touch wood)but it has been good to hear other members experiences and has given us a degree of comfort, with our original choice.

Have had a couple of claims with Allianz, for health and home and every time with a phone call to Ali Kuralturk all sorted and fully paid, no probs, very satisfied, even finds you the best doctor or surgeon anywhere in Turkey if necessary
