It’s hard to rate since thankfully I didn’t have to file a claim. I did feel the cost was excessive but it wouldn’t have been if I would have had an emergency. I guess that’s why it’s called insurance.

This is definitely travel insurance. My father sold insurance and explained insurance this way: a know loss (the premium) to cover you in case of even more significant loss. So there is a cost. I did not file a claim because I did not have anything go badly. The plane ride in was uneventful even if dreadfully long. The cruise delivered as promised. The shore excursions went off without a hitch except for one that was cancelled due to rain - and we got reimbursed for that. So we got what we paid for, but were were NOT hit with any unexpected and untoward expenses. Isn't the best insurance that which you never need to use? I think so.

The problem with AXA is that many are ill trained and do not pay attention to detail. I was so sick yet had to be on the phone constantly. There are only a couple of people who truly are good and capable. Some do not know what they are doing! If they could get their act together it would be a great policy and a great company. In the end they did a lot of direct billing which was nice but the enire process was extremely stressful I still have to submit bills to them for payment so I am not sure what they will or will not cover. I asked and no one could say. I think the question was clear but no one knew the answer! The best person was Lynn who is the supervisor. But she is not there 24 by 7 and the night and werkend staff are poor. It truly is a shame. They ate suppose to be the best there is so if they are the best What are the others like. I cannot even begin to imagine.

Despite the fact that I have not had to file a claim I will give the plan a 4 star, because the questions on this survey do not reflect the totality of any experience with the plan since I was not served by the company more than the buying process online. And I hope I will never have to file a claim, ever! I buy the insurance for safety and I hope I will never have to use any of the benefits.

Global Alert!
Preferred
We canceled a trip to Australia in the 90+ day time frame required by our tour operator, we received the appropriate 90% refund from the tour operator, and submitted a claim to Trip Mate, Inc., which handles claims for Global Alert, for the 10% penalty we incurred. Ultimately, we received payment from Trip Mate about 4 months after the claim was submitted (all required documentation was submitted with the initial claim). While we did receive the correct amount under our travel policy, the way the claim was handled was ridiculous! (1) You can't get in touch with Trip Mate with one phone call, as they don't answer their phones. Rather, you must wait to receive a call back the next day. (2) We received Trip Mate's checks quite a long time after submitting the claim (3 months), but at least we did receive them. (3) When we DID receive the checks and deposited them in our bank, the bank notified us a couple of days later that both checks hand BOUNCED!!! Fortunately, we hadn't written checks against this deposit, but we did incur $38 in bank fees because of the bounced checks. Trip Mate advised we could submit a claim for refund of the $38, which we did, but we haven't received it yet. (4) After four calls to Trip Mate trying to straighten this out, we received conflicting information from different agents. Very frustrating. We purchase travel insurance almost every year. The next time we do so, we will check first to see if Trip Mate is involved in the claims processing. If they are, we will purchase our travel insurance elsewhere!

Great to have nothing to report. Did not have to use this plan, but comfortable to know it's available if necessary.

Thankfully, we had no reason to file any claims. For this reason, we have no experience with the underlying insurer. The policy appeared competitively priced for the coverages we wanted.

Good coverage at a competetive price. Covered the essentials I was interested in without a lot of extra stuff. Gave me peace of mind on my trip. Luckily did not need to use the insurance during this very extended trip.
