Although we were fortunate enough to not need to file a claim, it was reassuring to know we were covered for any unforseen issues. We will utilize insuremytrip.com for our future travels.

I filed a claim under the cancellation clause due to COVID infection. I was directed to portal to file paperwork kept receiving emails to submit paperwork after each submission. No direct email to agent or support.

Gold
We have always used John Hancock travel insurance.
We have bought the gold package with the trip cost being $1.00 as we did not need to cover the travel cost. Hence the policy was purchased only for medical emergencies. And we have always confirmed this by phone with your office.
I contacted your office a few days ago to confirm as usual and I was informed that John Hancock do not cover medical for travel insurance and that I would need to provide the whole travel cost in order to get medical coverage.
This is a surprise and concern as I have always taken the policy for medical and not the travel cost. In which case why would the system let me even purchase a policy? Why do we receive a policy indicating the coverage? And what does the premium paid get applied to?
There seems to be a misrepresentation by your staff. I have purchased policies for myself and others for the last 10 years and was always informed by your office to put the trip cost at $1.00.
We recently traveled in September with the John Hancock policy. Had there been a medical emergency would your office have considered/covered the claim?
We buy insurance for peace of mind. I shudder to think what could have happened if we had a claim.
I need to know before purchasing future policies with John Hancock. I have emailed their office but no response has been received
I hesitate to give them a good rating after this.
I have always praised their service earlier
Thanks

Although I did not have to use the plan and am uncertain as to how well it would actually have worked...I did feel better just having the coverage in case an injury or sickness should have occurred with a company I trust.
Thanks

The small print said the claim didn’t cover countries at war. Well, Israel wasn’t at war when I bought the policy. The war started because of a terrorist act which was covered by my policy. I’m very dissaisfied.

Gold
Purchased John Hancock Gold plan for a trip to Croatia. Our flight to Croatia was cancelled. Luckily, we live in the area and were able return home not incurring any hotel fees (trip delay insurance max $200/day per person on the gold plan). We managed to get a flight out the next day. I was able to use the "trip delay" insurance coverage to cover the Lyft back home, to the airport the next day and our first night at the Airbnb which was non-refundable. The process took several months - The policy required that you get a written statement from the airline as to the reason for the delay. I wasted a lot of time on the phone with agents trying to get documentation with no results. Also sent emails to their customer service with no results. Finally, sent a letter (snail mail) to the airline's customer service and they responded with an email with the reason (BINGO!). It's odd, I had proof and documentation that the flight was cancelled - the challenge was getting the documented reason for the cancellation. I'm not sure why a reason also needed to be documented. Nevertheless, for all future trip planning I'm just going to assume that a claim will be filed and will ensure that all documentation any reasons for delays/cancellations and for any purchase is readily available so that I'm not in search of it later if a claim is actually made. I also know to use the mail (not email or the phone) when attempting to get an airline to respond to questions for claims.

I went to the BBB and it appeared this insurer was good. Signing up was easy. I didn’t need to file a claim.

The claims process is very cumbersome. Still going back and forth on the docs we submitted and should not be so time consuming. And we have coverage for 'Cancel for any Reason'. What is the point of having insurance in the first place? Defeats the purpose. Would not recommended.

Thankfully didn’t need to use the insurance, but the coverage was what I wanted.
