My flight, for which I bought this plan, was canceled by the airline. It has NEVER been the case that I've been unable to claim costs for an airline-cancellation that resulted in a rebooking and other expenses. I was in for a rude shock when I was told by Generali that I should have read the fine print, which does not cover this kind of cancellation. Not only does this assume that I would know ahead of time what kind of trouble I would face, but that also, somehow, a cancellation by the airline itself is a problem that a passenger should bear with equanimity. Ridiculous.

Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for your feedback. We hope you enjoyed your vacation.
Travel Insurance policies typically list one country as the destination, but your travel insurance travels with you. This makes it easier for travelers who may be going to multiple states or even multiple countries during their trip.
In the future, you may contact us and we can note your policy on the specific state you will be traveling to if you would like us to do so.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at 800-487-4722 or by email at [email protected].Mar 10,2022

We bought this plan mainly because they offer emergency and travel assistance. We had problems with our air carrier on the way back. I called the services, explained the problem and got assurances that they would call/email us back to provide help. We have never heard from them again. Years ago, we had been in the same situation and experienced great help from another insurance company. NOT this time. Will never use them again.

I am happy to say I had no need to file a claim, but I have used Insure My Trip and Generali policies often and have been very pleased with the experience. Will surely continue to use their services in the future.

Due to a flat tire - I was late for scheduled diving trip in Florida, it should be covered under travel delay. I had all documentation. Generali refused to cover losses. I will never buy insurance from them again. You think you are covered, in reality you are not.

Vacation Rental Damage Plan
I had to cancel my trip the morning we were set to depart due to COVID. I was unable to cancel my insurance coverage despite never taking the trip because you don't allow same day cancellations. This is stupid because check in time for our stay was 4pm. You assumed NO risk but kept all my money. Thanks for nothing.

I scheduled a trip late so the decision to insure it was relatively last minute. The agent I spoke with was helpful in directing me to the appropriate policy and the price was reasonable. Fortunately I did not need it!

We purchased this plan for our trip to Glacier. American Airlines canceled our connecting flight and this insurance company is not wanting to pay for us not getting to our first night AirBnB. Said that American Airlines said it was due to completion of pilot duties and that is not covered. It would be covered for weather, mechanical or strike, but not this. Who cares why it happened. This was caused by our flight being canceled by the airlines, not us. We ended up having to purchase new airfare and the cost was exorbitant. I figured we would at least get reimbursed for the first night hotel that we missed if not some of the new airfare. I am very upset and will NEVER recommend this plan again.

We were able to get payment for our trip in the end. It did take work on my end to speak to a manager and sending more information. American Airlines had canceled a connecting flight due to one of the reasons that had been accepted. I do believe any problem that an airline would cancel for should be covered, but it all worked out in the end. I suggest reviewing and comparing all insurances carefully. Thank you.Feb 17,2022
