Submitted a claim for Morocco and cancelling the trip due to the earthquake. The policy seemed pretty straight forward; however, when I filed the claim, they asked for more detailed documentation. Some things, like the airfare with cost, dates and name I did provide, I do not know what more documentation they wished. Luckily, the travel group I went with refunded the trip. I was not aware I bought a refunded airline ticket so that ended up not being a problem. I was only out train fare, so I did not pursue further through the insurance company. The policy appeared more complicated and not as easy as I had hoped. But again, I did not finish the process but feel they just ask for more information knowing, statistically, people will not follow up/through.
