So happy that we didn't need to use it, but we never travel without it when there are non refundable items on the itinerary.

Global Alert!
Preferred
Fortunately, I did not have to file a claim with Global Alert!, however, I called Global Alert because one of my connecting flights (a short one to NY) was cancelled at the last minute. Instead of helping me get another flight, the person who answered said he didn't know how to do that and offered to send me a claim form instead. I told him that I wanted to get a flight, not a claim form and would get back if I needed a claim form. I managed to use other resources to fix the issue, but was disappointed that the insurance company had no one to help me.

I did not need to file a claim, therefore cannot comment on that process. I thought the coverage provided for the cost of the plan was quite good.

I have travelled extensively and have always bought travel insurance but this is the first time I have filed a claim. My flight to India was canceled and delayed for 24 hours. Since I had a non refundable hotel and scheduled pre paid tours for my original arrival date, I called the airline and requested that I be booked on a flight a day earlier instead of a day later. I filed a claim for the extra nights hotel and my claim was denied. If I would have stayed with the later flight, the claim would have been for more since they would have had to reimburse me not only for hotel but for the pre paid tour as well. That is why I carry insurance for when the unexpected happens. This was a situation beyond my control and I tried to make the best decision but Travel Safe was not willing to work with me.

Thank you very much for taking the time to comment on your claim.
Although it is never pleasant to hear that your claim was denied, this was a fair denial of coverage according to your policy terms.
(1) According to page 1 of your TravelSafe certificate, "Travel Delay: Coverage begins after You have traveled 50 miles or more from home en route to join Your Trip. This is Your “Effective Date†and time for Travel Delay." Since you changed your departure date back on 09/13/2017, which was before your original departure date of 09/22/2017 and before you traveled 50 miles or more from home, you would not have a valid Travel Delay claim under this policy.
(2) You also indicated in a previous email that "No charge fees or penalties have been incurred. There are no claims or pending claims at this time." Voluntarily changing your departure date prior to departure and incurring the expense of an additional night in a hotel would not qualify under this policy as reasonable expenses for additional accommodations according to page 5 of the certificate:
"TRAVEL DELAY
Benefits will be paid up to 0 per day for reasonable accommodation, meal, and local transportation expenses incurred by You, up to the Maximum Benefit Amount shown in the Confirmation of Benefits, if You are delayed for 6 hours or more while en route to or from, or during Your Trip..."
We appreciate your cooperation in providing additional information for this review. We also hope that you may change your mind in the future and call us to discuss coverage for a future trip.

I suppose the rubber hits the road in this if I submit a claim - but as I did not, all seemed most satisfactory.
Thank you

Thankfully, I did not need to use the insurance, but had piece of mind throughout my trip to India

Fortunately I did not have to use the insurance on my trip so cannot really evaluate it other than to say that the plan cost was reasonable compared to other similar plans.
