Holiday from hell
I would like to share my experience with Jet2Holidays. This was a holiday from hell...
We were looking into attractive travel packages from Jet2 Holidays for few months before purchasing our trip. Once I paid ,I ve been offered by Jet2 Holidays to purchase an insurance to cover all of our family for anything during our holidays. The Insurance package was called Jet2 Holidays Insurance cover but in fact that was a lie and a real insurance company was something we never heard about ,its called Rock Insurance Services.
Very unfortunate, but an accident happened to my daughter while we stayed in the holiday resort in Turkey. We were sunbathing by the pool and at the same time other guests were playing a water polo with the hard heavy ball in the swimming pool. This event has been organised by the Hotel. One of the players thrown the ball and it hit my daughters face breaking her nose. This was awful. We were rushed to the hospital where doctors suggested a surgery to be done within 3 days.
I have liaised with the Jet2 Holidays and the insurance company. I have been told by both that "go ahead, you are covered for all".
Nasal fracture surgery has been done and doctors suggested to us that we do not fly for at least 10 days to avoid possible health complications. So did the Jet2Holidays policy states , that you are not fit to fly for at least 10 days if you had a surgery done under general anaesthetic.
But in reality things are not as they are on their papers....
For the time, when my daughter had her nose fractured , I was so stressed , and I was hoping that Jet2 representatives would actually help us to resolve everything. I had few meetings with them, spent hours talking & explaining of what happened,they made promises of providing us with the accident report, settling us into another the hotel rooms once our holidays will expire and we would need additional stay until my daughter would be fit to fly and etc.
I never received any help from them ! Like nothing at all. I had to organise myself with the hotel our additional stay, travel to & from the hospital, shopping for our baby ( my second child) such as baby milk ,nappies and etc . That all stress in the country of which I don't speak the language, while my daughter was in constant pain, with the empty promises of an jet2Holidays representatives, with spending my own money on extras- this all was an extremely emotional and hard time.
The extra days at the hotel costed me £1300 + £300 phone bill and medical expenses.
As I couldn't get hold of the insurance company for long time , I ve managed to finally speak to them back in the UK.
I sent several messages via email to both companies, they were transferring me over from one to another, I understood that they are just playing on my situation, they don't want to take no responsibility and no liability for what has happened. After long conversations and all my emails to them ,providing all the medical information , they decided to pay me back £270 , claiming that they don't understand why did not we return to England on time. They refused to accept their own policy which states that "you cannot fly if you had a surgery done ander general anesthetic less than 10 days ago ". They are now saying that I should have provided them with the Fit to fly note from a doctor. Why no one ever mentioned this to me while we were in Turkey?? I have spoken to 3 representatives over there ,all from Jet2, and nobody told me to obtain one.
I am trying to get this note from the Turkish hospital but they are not responding to my email and the Rock insurance services company refuses to cover all that bills for an extra 7 days that we had to stay in Turkey.
How can Jet2 Holidays sell everyone such a misleading insurance??? Rock insurance services policy doesn't match Jet2 Holidays policy, how is that possible? This looks like a fraud to me!
After "fighting " with both companies I feel like taking this case further. I deserve my money back and a moral compensation in addition to all of the stressful time.
