This is the first time I've had to file a claim on a travel insurance policy, and all I can say is that it is great until you have to file a claim. At that point, the response time is horrible.
It is interesting that the company took my money in a few seconds via a website. Once I filed a claim, though, everything reverted to paper and snail mail. From the time I first filed my claim that our rental villa had been destroyed by hurricane Irma to the time I finally received my reimbursement was almost two months. That's two months that the company was earning interest on my money while I was paying interest to my credit card company. I realize the hurricanes resulted in many claims during this time - the processing company should hire some temps to help with the workload.

John Hancock
Bronze
We usually purchase travel insurance and have filed a claim in the past. But it was for small items because of luggage not getting to our destination for several days.
This time we are so glad we purchased the John Hancock Bronze Plan. Because the hurricanes damaged the villa we rented our trip was canceled and our trip deposit forfeited.
When I called John Hancock the agent was so helpful and told me what I needed to start the claim process. I was told it would take about 30 days to process. Everything was handled in a very professional manner and we did receive our deposit back.
Thanks so much

Travelex
Travel Basic
Bare bones policy for the price. Make sure you read the fine print. In our case, the St. John USVI villa we were supposed to stay in was damaged by a hurricane and uninhabitable due to lack of power on the island. The "uninhabitable home" coverage in the Travel Basic plan only applies if your own home is damaged, but not the destination home. This makes no sense and makes me question buying travel insurance in the future. Buyer beware.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance
Essential
Due to the hurricane, I sent in a claim for my airfare. I did not receive a response. I have since been credited back from the airlines. It would have been nice to have been contacted in a more timely manner about my claims. Turns out the only money I lost on my trip was the money I paid for the insurance I did not end up needing. Poor communication from company.

Thank you for your feedback on the policy. We are sorry that you were dissatisfied with your claim experience. We are pleased that you ultimately received reimbursement of your loss from the airline. As you know, the recent Natural Disasters have caused a higher than normal call volume and process time. However, we do want you and your fellow customers to be aware that InsureMyTrip offers a Customer Advocate Program. Customer Advocates are representatives assigned to assist customers who experience issues after filing a claim. Requesting a Customer Advocate is as simple as calling 800-487-4722 or emailing [email protected], explaining the events which resulted in a claim, and the challenges you are facing.Oct 05,2017

Hello,
We had three storms during our trip that could have easily turned into hurricanes. THIS is why we get insurance! Luckily, we only had a few rainy days and needed to make no claims. I felt so assured that if something happened, we would be covered as we specifically asked for a policy that covers hurricanes.

AXA Assistance USA
Gold
fortunately we did not have to file a claim for this trip, but I would definitely utilize AXA gold if I were planning another expensive trip. We have had to cancel several trips over the past year, but this was the first one where we had a significant upfront non refundable deposit which we needed to protect, just in case we had more medical issues with my wife.

Filed the claim immediately upon the return of the trip for a delay at the beginning of the trip. From time of filing claim until received reimbursement it took, 62 days. All of the information was provided at the time of the claim. No additional information was requested. Movement on the claim only happened when I contacted AXA. Originally said that the review would be completed in 30 days (actually took 35 after I contacted on day 32). The claim was approved and instructed that the check would be received in 10-15 business days. On day 16 contacted AXA, and it took another 10 business days to have the check processed and received. Again, this only occurred after I contacted AXA and it took at least 4 more calls before they processed the check.

AIG Travel
Travel Guard Gold
I was really ready to go on vacation. Was to be with my brother and sister-in-law. But in October I had back surgery, which healed nicely before the trip. But other factors came into play so I was unable to go on trip. I was tremendously upset.
But filing a claim was easy, the representative gave me the information and help I needed to file.
The doctor sent/faxed info and I sent mine as well. I had my refund in about 10 days total from start to finish.
I would highly reccomend AIG to any and all who travel. It's the smart thing to do, ask me.

In order to be eligible for reimbursement under any travel insurance policy, your reason for cancellation must be listed as a "covered reason" under Trip Cancellation. Covered Reasons are readily available for your review just by clicking on the dollar amount of Trip Cancellation within your quote and going to the Trip Cancellation section.
It is also important to remember that the list of covered reasons do vary from plan to plan and even from state to state. Usually the most basic plans have the fewest covered reasons to cancel such as the Travelex Travel Basic. However, if you had purchased the Travelex Travel Select plan, then you would have had coverage under Trip Cancellation for the following reasons that were not covered under the Basic plan:
"9. your destination made uninhabitable by fire, flood, volcano, earthquake, hurricane or other natural disaster;
10.mandatory evacuation ordered by local authorities at your destination due to hurricane or other natural disaster."
Please consider reviewing a plan for your next trip. Customer Care is available at (800) 487-4722 weekdays from 7:00 AM to midnight ET and from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM ET to assist you with a quote.
