COVID insurance claim

4 replies

We had a holiday booked in Scotland in the summer which had to be cancelled at last minute as my husband and son had COVID. We (luckily) had insurance which covered this eventuality. However, we are really struggling to get a confirmation out of the owners that they did not give us a refund or give us vouchers or allow us to rebook (something which the insurance company are insisting on). Without this it is going nowhere. We have called them and emailed over a number of months and although they have appeared sympathetic they have done nothing. This is a small family business, so it is not even a case where I could phone a head office number Ito ask if someone else could help. It is really too much money to give up on - does anyone have any suggestions?

Can you send them a typed letter that they can sign and then put into the post for you? Add a stamped addressed envelope to make it easy for them!

Sorry, I mean an envelope with your own address on it so they can send it back to you.

Don't you have an email from them replying to when you contacted them to cancel the booking? Presumably you asked about options for refund or re-booking at a later date and the hotel replied to you saying no?? That would usually be good enough for the insurance.

Thanks. Don’t have an email as I phoned them. Letter with stamped addressed envelope is a good idea
