I regret buying a policy from here as they have companies that use Trip Mate to "Process" claims, but they don't process the claims but just give you the run around over and over. I submitted a claim November 15 with all the correct documentation and have not been paid yet. They keep saying they mailed me a check, but constantly change the date they say they mailed it. Avoid Global Alert, Travel Safe, and TripAssure as they use this Trip Mate as a claim processor !
4-10-18 update: I finally received a check for my claim almost 5 months after submitting all the required paperwork. Insure MyTrip.com did assign an advocate to help me, but she could not find out much either, however while she was waiting to hear from them about when the check was being sent out, the check was generated and I received it today. I appreciate InsureMyTrip.com stepping up to help; I wish I had known they had someone to help back in 2017 when I started having trouble get the claim paid.

I cancelled my trip& sent claim in November. After 5 months only in April your insurance could solve my claim. I was calling many many times to check my status of claim, nobody could answer my question. I was sent from one department to another. Loosing time and emotional stress. Terrible experience. I would never recommend to buy your insurance.

I filed a claim for medical reimbursement and also a missed connection. I received the payments for what I filed for, though it took several months after the paperwork was filed to have the claim reviewed and have my check. Though some of the documentation from my travel agent was lacking in detail, I still believe they took a long time to process as I have another claim in for another trip (with excellent documentation) that is taking a while to process.

Given the odds that the occurence would not occur keeping 25% of the premium for a cancel for any reason coverage is "hoggish"!

Your plan covered areas and coverage amounts which we wanted. It was the best price for what we wanted. I would like to see some reductions in your prices for those who have maintained good health.

Unfortunately, we had to cancel our travel plans due to medical reasons. We filed a claim which was outsourced to Trip Mate for processing. We recently received our check for the claim. The claim process took about 3-4 months which seems like a long time. Otherwise, we are satisfied with the policy we purchased.

It took 5 months for my claim to be processed. That is ridiculous! I called every 2-3 weeks and every time they would say it would be completed in another 2 weeks. Crazy!

I have never filed a claim before, but the plan covered as I expected it should; took a little more effort (paperwork) than I would have hoped, but resolved in under a month. I would use again.
