The claim process was inordinately complicated and onerous. However, after we had jumped through all the (many) hoops, the claim was honored.

I'm glad I didn't have to use it but I feel whatever incident that could have occurred would have been covered.

I tried to file a claim. The business I booked my hotels under informed me of their cease and desist order the day before I left for my international trip and I had to desperately look for hotel rooms. I was told it was not covered and was offered no help in finding new rooms. I am still trying to get reimbursed for the original rooms from my credit card company. Would not use this company again.

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately your Generali Standard policy did not include coverage for a Financial Default. We also forwarded your email to Generali who replied as follows:
"We're sorry to hear about the circumstances surrounding your experience and for not meeting your expectations. We want our customers to understand the coverage details of our plans and stress the importance of reviewing these details via the sample Description of Coverage/Insurance Policy that’s provided at the time of purchase, and contacting (800) 348-9505 or [email protected] with additional questions. The plan you purchased includes a variety of covered events under which we can provide coverage if an actual covered event forces you to cancel your trip. Unfortunately it does not provide coverage for financial insolvency."Oct 04,2019

We make it a practice to obtain travel insurance to mitigate risk for circumstances beyond our control when we've booked expensive trips. Generally the concern is that our elderly parents could develop a sudden illness that might require canceling travel plans we've made months in advance. However, we recently experienced travel delays due to pilot strikes (British Airways) and train strikes (France) that could have resulted in missing an expensive pre-booked multi-week bicycle tour. Fortunately, in spite of delays we were able to get to our destination with little time to spare. During the delay I called our insurance provider to discuss our options and was relieved to discover the extensive resources available to help us, and learned that we would be covered for expenses incurred should we need to rebook our plans. The simple comfort that came from knowing we were covered more than justified the expense of our travel insurance.

Easy online enrollment. Very pleased by coverage cost. In some cases, similar policies were nearly twice the cost.
Clear and easy to understand coverage language.
Excellent on-line follow up of enrollment confirmation and delivery of policy.
Good pre-trip reminder messages.

We paid over $1000 for a premium policy, then when my wife fractured her foot and we needed to incur cancellation expenses for some of our aggressive trip activities, we discovered you don't cover that situation. I haven't used trip insurance in the past and this taught me that it's still not worth it. I'll save a couple thousand a year in trip insurance costs, take my chances, and save money over the long run.

We did follow up with Generali who advised that you did not file a
claim but called to inquire about reimbursement for two nights of hotel
accommodations and taxi expenses to get you from one place to another while your three companions were hiking. However, these would not be covered expenses under your Travel Delay coverage since the cause of the additional expenses were for an injury sustained prior to coverage which began on your date of departure.
Generali did suggest that you may still wish to submit a claim for reimburse-ment of any prepaid non-refundable travel expenses. Please call the Generali claims department at (800) 541-3522 for additional information.Nov 30,2018
