We drove all round north and South Island of NZ.
Fortunately we didnt need to use it, but it felt comforting that we had coverage if something did happen.

Although I did not have to use the insurance, it gave me great peace of mind. Good value for the money and the website makes it easy to compare coverages and costs.

AXA claims handling is terrible. I made a claim because the first leg of a three leg international journey was cancelled due to a winter storm. I had to rent a car to drive 300 miles to the next airport to catch the second leg of the trip. The airline's ticket refund was less than the cost of the rental car. I filed a claim with AXA for about $100--the amount the rental car charge exceeded the airline reimbursement.
I submitted the extensive documentation AXA required. After 6 weeks, AXA denied the claim with a nonsensical letter. I explained the claim again, and AXA requested additional documentation, which I provided. In response, AXA denied the claim again--this time insisting that my flight was cancelled 2-1/2 months before departure, not the night before departure. I threatened a small claims lawsuit and reported the matter to insuremytrip.com. After a few weeks, AXA requested (for the first time) a letter from the airline confirming the cancellation and the reason. I provided that documentation and my claim was finally accepted.

Nothing happened to me. So that good. Except I've got about $250. less than I have at the start and I didn't use any benefits. But what can ya do? I insured my trip and now I'm home safely. End of story.

Phone contact Kathy was very helpful in selecting a plan. Thankfully I did not have to file claim.

This plan gave me such peace of mind. I wasn't sure, at first, whether or not to even purchase trip insurance. But when I realized how affordable it was, and how easy it was to settle a claim. I knew I had to buy it. I will do so, from AXA, for every trip I take, from now on.

I fell in New Zealand and had a large bruise on my leg. The international telephone number was not working so I could not ask about special accommodations on my flight home.

I purchased an AXA Assistance USA Gold Plan for a 2 week trip to New Zealand for myself and my husband. Unfortunately we had to cancel about 6 weeks before the trip due to a medical problem. I was worried that AXA would make me jump through hoops to get our refund for trip expenses but that was definitely not the case. The AXA claims specialists were professional and helpful. I submitted the paperwork that was necessary and got notification of acceptance for the claim and a check very quickly. I will use AXA in the future.

Since we had no claim, as usual, it is hard to evaluate how the service is if we ever do have a claim. One must always read the fine print in policies, though, as even "Cancel For Any Reason" may not mean that.
We have used Insure My Trip many times.

Although we are very sorry that you had such a negative experience with the AXA claims department, we are pleased to hear that AXA has now paid your claim.
We did not publish your review when it was first received on May 25th because we assigned an Anytime Advocate to support you with the process since you believed that your claim was unfairly denied. Now that your claim is settled, we are publishing your review.
Please feel free to call Customer Care at 800-487-4722 if you have further questions.
