DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED

Zurich Insurance Company
Following very bad treatment by this company I would strongly advice everyone to avoid giving them any business. Otherwise, like me, you might find they will refuse to pay up if you have a valid claim. Our car was damaged by a Council Bin which blew into the side of the car causing £300 of damage. The Council said their insurer would pay for the repair. Zurich wrote to me telling me to get the car repaired, which I did. When I went to collect it I was told that it had not been paid for and if I wanted the car back I would have to pay. I had no choice but to pay. Zurich then kept me waiting another eight weeks before saying that they did not see why they should pay and that I should claim off my car insurance. Of course by then it was too late to clain from my insurance and in any case why should my insurance company pay for damage caused by their client.

Olympic Holidays
We travelled to Crete with a group of 12 friends. When we arrived we received only one welcome pack. This meant that there was only one copy of the information for contacting a representative in an emergency. This was despite the fact that we had all paid the full price. The person designated at party leader (because they were the first name typed into the computer) was expected to act as an unpaid courier for Olympic. At the welcome meeting we had to sit through an hour of mostly unwanted information, such as where we could find a Marks & Spencers shop. The courier also made a joke of the loss of life on the Titanic, which we thought was in extremely bad taste. We were also denied access to our departure details, only the leader was allowed to have this information. I found out the departure time whilst in the bar the evening before we left. I heard this third hand through the grapevine. When I wrote to Olypic about our treatment I was told that I had no right to express my opinion and that only the group leader was allowed to correspond with them. We were digusted with the treatment we received and would strongly advise everyone to keep well clear of Olympic Holidays.

First Choice Airways
This airline is the worst we have ever travelled with. We were bombarded by deafening, so called music. Even their safety video was so loud that it caused passengers to cover their ears. The food was disgusting, with a breakfast meal being submerged in Tomato Sauce, resulting in a high proportion of the passengers leaving the food. As far as we are concerned they are "Last Choice Airways".
