If you take nothing else away from this review, please know that you DO NOT want to purchase travel insurance from this particular company. I had a trip planned in Spring 2022 which was canceled by the trip organizer. I ended up getting most of my money back from the organizer, except for my flight + one night hotel stay. Therefore, my insurance claim was only for this smaller portion...the flight + one night hotel. It took over 8 months to get resolved, and it was only because I was persistent. I was told they were backlogged so I was respectful and gave them plenty of time to respond to me (ie, 4-6 weeks at a time). There was no follow-up on their end, I know they just wanted to ignore the claim and hope it goes away. They were so disorganized, asking me for the same documents over and over. I called in twice and my call was "escalated" both times. Escalated is a joke, nothing different happened. I was also asked verbally about the same information that I provided via email numerous times. Finally, I asked them for my money back...that's when they decided to take my claim seriously, I guess. I would NOT recommend this company unless you want to add over 8 months of stress and hassle to your life. Looks elsewhere.

Value for the money spent. Service/support was easy to reach and accommodated our requests. We have used this Hancock Silver plan before and would readily use them again.

Fortunately, we completed the trip and did not need to use the insurance. When we scheduled the river cruise in March 2022, this policy seemed to have the best coverage to meet our needs, and a competitive price.

As a frequent traveler I always buying trip insurance and even once I have to use it because of the problem with the trip.
What I would like to have is some partial refund if I didn't use the policy. In this case more people would buy it and it would be more fair to travelers.

I did not have to use the plan but it is best to have peace of mind knowing I have insurance while out of the country just in case.

While fortunately we didn’t have to ‘use’ the plan, it was a great peace of mind while traveling that the plan was there to cover us if needed. Very affordable for the coverage you get in the plan.

We had no claim, but I gave it five stars because everything else was perfect. I particularly liked the peace of mind of having a medical insurance ID card and an insurance number to call. That could save a lot of grief at an emergency room. I am happy to post a favorable review, but you should give much higher weight to reviews with a claim. I read them, and I liked what I saw.

I was quite happy with the communication I received from this travel insurance. Luckily we did not have to make a claim so I cannot attest to that part of the process. I felt the price I paid was adequate for what I was insuring.
