Although we didn’t need to use the insurance, it provided piece of mind. My husband had some health issues about 6 weeks before departure & we thought we might have to cancel the trip. Luckily though he was given the go ahead to go, & we thoroughly enjoyed our cruise.

Filed a claim after a flight was canceled and we had to purchase a last minute more expensive ticket on another airline. Generali paid the difference between the two tickets. They approved the claim in one day and we received a check two weeks later. My advice is to send ALL documents relating to the claim even if it seems redundant.

I'm happy I didn't have a claim, and was more reassured about the company when I traveled through Italy to find that Generali is a very big insurance company. I had a drink right across from their offices in Orvieto. I would use them again.

This plan was competitive in terms of pricing, but the fact that any losses I would suffer due to illness were not covered made it a very poor value for me. The reason medical problems were not covered was that I had not purchased the insurance within one week of my final trip payment. Even though this major source of potential trip cancellation was not covered, there was no discount applied to the premium. I experienced no problems and filed no claims, but withholding this coverage without offering any discount was a major disappointment and greatly reduced the value of the policy for me.

Thank goodness we did not have to use the plan. It just feels good knowing we have it if we did need to use it.

Applying for insurance was made easy and was reasonably priced. Fortunately, I didn't need to use it .

Since I didn't need to file a claim, I have no way of evaluating this policy.

We had bought ferry tkt to travel between islands in Greece. The day of travel the ferries went on strike. Generali reimbursed us for the expensive airfare we had to buy to get off the island.
The reimbursed us for taxi fares even though we had no receipts from the drivers.
Paid for a meal for which we had a receipt. Not knowing if we were going to reimbursed for our loss we stayed at an inexpensive hotel overnight which they reimbursed as well. They do not give daily allowance or for bags delayed unless you go buy clothes as our bags did not come with our flight.
I still rate them highly for their quick response to claim submitted received payment in 2 weeks.

Impossible to rate a plan if you made no claim. All you can do is "hope" they pay when you do make a claim. I bought it and didn't have to use it...Luckily/thankfully!

The Generali Global Assistance Premium plan provides a waiver for pre-existing conditions with the following requirements met:
"a. coverage is purchased prior to or within 24 hours of your final Trip Payment; and
b. you are medically able to travel at the time the coverage is purchased; and
c. you insure 100% of your prepaid Trip costs that are subject to cancellation penalties or restrictions."
If you are not able to purchase prior to or within 24 hours of your final Trip Payment or you do not insure 100% of your prepaid Trip costs that are subject to cancellation penalties or restrictions, you would have a 180 day look back period should any claims be filed.
"PRE-EXISTING CONDITION means a Sickness or Injury
during the 180-day period immediately prior to your
effective date for which you or your Traveling Companion:
(1) received, or received a recommendation for, a
diagnostic test, examination, or medical treatment; or
(2) took or received a prescription for drugs or medicine.
Item 2 of this definition does not apply to a condition
which is treated or controlled solely through the taking
of prescription drugs or medicine and remains treated or
controlled without any adjustment or change in the required
prescription throughout the 180-day period before coverage
is effective under this Policy."
