I couldn’t travel as I was sick. I called InsureMyTrip about Trip cancellation and they directed me to talk to AXA. I called AXA and the representative said the patient has to be hospitalized and provide comprehensive lab tests and Dr certificate for the claim. Patient has high fever and is throwing up before travel but with so much documentation and many conditions for claiming trip cancellation, this policy is not very worthwhile.

Although I did not have to use the insurance, it gave me great peace of mind. Good value for the money and the website makes it easy to compare coverages and costs.

The plan seemed competitively priced, although not inexpensive. I did need to file a claim due to missed flights, and lost luggage.
We incurred meal expenses, a minor clothing expense, and lost a night of hotel. The total claim was around $300. I filed about 3 weeks after our trip. I submitted about 6 attachments as proof. Several weeks later, after emailing several times, asking about the status of my claim, I received an email asking for more information. I sent the same documents as well as many more, with a detailed explanation of each attachment to make it simpler for the person reviewing the claim. They also asked for 2 of their forms to be filled out, which I attached. Again, several weeks went by, I emailed and requested my claim be paid. I received ANOTHER request for the same information, stating that they were waiting for the forms which they had previously requested as well as a lot of other information, of which I had already submitted several weeks prior! I was going to call and request that someone actually look at all the data I submitted. I was stealing myself for a long, adversarial phone call, so was waiting until I had time. About a week passed and I received an email from my bank showing a Zelle payment for the full amount of my claim. No email from AXA insurance. Interesting.....
AXA is no better, no worse than other companies for which I have had to make a claim. I think they all drag the claim process out, hoping you will give up so they don't have to pay. They also ask for an exorbitant amount of information. Trip insurance is something that I feel I have to have for most international trips, but I dread having to make a claim. Luckily I didn't have to interact with an agent in this case and they eventually paid my claim. Keep every receipt, every boarding pass, etc in case you have to make a claim!

I selected AXA Assistance USA Platinum Plan from Insure My Trip. I felt it was good comprehensive coverage at a reasonable price. I am completely satisfied with the plan I purchased. Thanks!

Got Covid-19 five days prior to departure and had to cancel the first part of our trip. Spent almost $6k to get short-notice air tickets for the revised itinerary. Claim just got paid. Took nearly 5 months, but got paid in full! Totally restored my faith in travel insurance, or at least my faith in AXA.

Did not have any issues or need to file a claim, but was worth every penny to know that this epic, expensive trip was covered and I could not stress about losing out.

I had a piece of luggage get destroyed by American Airlines. While the process for making the claim was a lot of work, it was approved and I'm pleased with the results.

The plan was simple to understand and purchase. Although, and thankfully, we did not need to file a claim, having it in place gave us a sense of security during this pandemic era.

It was comforting to know I had the coverage in case I needed it. The most important part of the coverage for me is 'medical evacuation' as I do not want to be stuck in a foreign country with a serious medical issue. Before my trip I requested they extend my coverage from 21 days to 23 days which they did without additional charge.
