I’ve been waiting until I got back to Australia from my working holiday in the UK to make this review. I had the unfortunate displeasure of being a bored 18-year-old during Covid lockdown when a salesman from global work in Travel contacted me. Within 30 minutes, I had paid them $3000 for their services, along with paying $1600 towards a flight that would be booked after Covid had passed and $1800 towards nine months of travel insurance, which upon researching, was double the going market rate. When I finally went ahead with my working holiday 8 months after I had sent money, they booked me on a $1200 flight and said nothing about the other $400 and refused to give me the money back to book it myself. I also wanted to do a multi trip stop which was extremely easy and within my budget to do with Skyscanner, but they said it would cost me an additional $1000 so I couldn’t do that. They also ended up getting my start date for my travel insurance wrong, so towards the end of when my travel insurance was supposed to expire, I have my phone stolen and went to make a claim, but it was expired. Fortunately, after numerous calls, they rectified the situation, but I still had to wait four months to get my money from their insurance company. As far as the working options for the UK go, after all of my terrible experiences, and after looking closer into the bad reviews, I decided not to go with them, because I didn’t want to be exploited at a job and found my own job in a hostel. These guys honestly had the worst response time, I had to call so many times to follow up on issues and coordinate booking things with people, considering it’s their entire job, they were absolutely awful at it. Please, listen to this advice, it is so unbelievably easy to make your own travel arrangements, get your Visa by yourself (which you do anyway because they can’t help you with that), and find your own job. Please don’t fall victim to their salesman and pay them thousands of dollars for absolutely nothing.
