Happily, didn't need to use the insurance and was glad to know that I had it if things had turned out otherwise!

I can't truly evaluate service since I did not (thank goodness) need to make a claim, but I appreciated the alerts and the offers of service before leaving on my trip.

I would never consider overseas travel without insurance and I like that Insuremytrip.com provides such a wide variety of coverage programs. Just be sure to read the fine print provided by the individual companies.

Fortunately we had no need for the insurance....a good thing. Reps we spoke to on the phone were pleasant, helpful and very clear about the details. Will use it for next trip.

It took 3 months to get reimbursed. Trip mate personnel are incompetent......they requested further medical info from the VA doctor in Florida. Instead of finding out the correct fax from the MD in Florida, they were faxing requests to the inspector general of the VA in Washington DC! If I had not kept calling Trip Mate over and over, I probably would still be waiting. I will never buy this insurance again!

The claim took two months to reach a settlement. I had to call Trip Mate several times in order to get a status of the claim. The online claim status function did not provide any pertinent information. Trip Mate did not do anything with the claim for the first 30 days. The claim should have been resolved in a couple of weeks or less since I had submitted 15 documents supporting my claim. The claim was finally resolved and I did receive full payment but it took too long too finalize and was very stressful for me.

    On behalf of Global Alert, we apologize for any stress that you may have felt due to the lengthy claims process. Generally Trip Mate, who handled your claim on behalf of Global Alert, does usually have a 30 day turnaround time. Unfortunately Trip Mate experienced a much higher volume of claims than anticipated after the damage inflicted by Hurricanes Irma, Jose and Maria which significantly slowed down the processing time.

    We certainly appreciate your review and will bring your comments to the company's attention. However, if you do have any further questions or comments, please feel free to call Customer Care at InsureMyTrip (800) 487-4722.
