Most of the reviews I've read here seem to mention not having to actually USE their purchased coverage. I am writing as someone who has had to use the coverage and has been fighting a ridiculous fight to get reimbursed. To try and make it brief, I'll just say they have been making me jump through many hoops and that It's been going on for 6 months now. Each time I submit what they ask for, they come back to me with something else I need to send in; all in an effort , I'm sure, to wear me down and have me say the heck with it. This has happened 8 times now, to the point where my travel company told me they never heard of a travel insurance company demanding what they were asking for in order to process a claim payment. After supplying all the information, on a $6,000 claim, for which I paid an additional $1300 for the insurance, they reimbursed me $60 for myself and $60 for my husband. I have now started an appeals process. It has been 4 weeks and I have not heard a thing from them, not even an acknowledgement that they received my email and then again a subsequent email I sent asking for receipt confirmation. I will contact my local consumer advocates and also the state attorney general for assistance. DO NOT PURCHASE TRAVEL INSURANCE from ROAM RIGHT. I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!! That is unless you want to have an excerise in total frustration only to be ripped off in the end anyway. They are crooks.

I realized why it is rated so high. If you read the reviews, most of the people did not have to use the coverage. I would not recommend this insurance and will not ever use it again. Please look elsewhere and save yourself time and stress. I researched and choose this company because it is rated high (by those who don't file a claim). If you look at those who do file a claim, it is not rated well at all. My camera damage situation did not fit into the boxes they wanted it to so the forms and processes did not work with my situation. Because I did not report the damage to my camera to anyone (since it wasn't the airline, hotel or trip operator's fault) they will not pay my claim or honor the insurance I purchased even though my camera is no longer usable and it occurred during my "covered" trip. I filled out all the paperwork, provided pictures and offered additional information but now they have gone silent. I returned from my trip in early November, it is now January. I am going in another direction to get my camera taken care of. The customer service, if you can call it that, is hard to access and lots of time waiting on the phone. I have other companies that I have used in the past that I will go back to. I do not recommend this insurance coverage.

You should remove this company from your list. They are unresponsive, poorly managed, and have been getting horrible reviews. I have used your service for years, but your recommending this company has now made me worried. This is only 1* company, since insurance means that you actually get reimbursed for insured loses!!

We are not satisfied with Global Underwriters.
We will be filling a claim for out-of-pocket expenses related to treatment for a fractured wrist my wife received while traveling in Chile. She received medical care in Buenos Aries; x-rays, medical assessment and a cast. The doctor informed us that my wife required surgery to repair that brake so we elected to return home early to be treated by our local doctor. We notified Global Underwriters of the situation and were told that our insurance would not cover the cost of an early return home. We were told that they would cover the surgery in Buenos Aries but not the travel expense to return home early to be treated there.
The Global representative actually laughed at us and told us that we bought the wrong coverage.
I should note that the total cost for the medical care in Buenos Aries was $110. With a deductible of $100 Global owes us $10. We are still had the out of pocket expense of $1,300 in changes in travel arrangements, not to include the lost value of our vacation because we ended up missing 1/3rd of the package group tour we were on at the time of the incident. Further, we paid $280 for the insurance package so in total we will have out of pocket expense $1,570 assuming we get paid the $10 Global owes us.
Anyone who is traveling abroad should know that most trauma injuries incurred while traveling are ambulatory and should insure that the coverage includes early return due to injury. Emergency medical evacuation does not cover ambulatory situations.
Also, check with your own health insurer to see if they provide primary coverage for illness or injury when traveling abroad. We discovered that our health care provider would provide primary care coverage while we were overseas to include referral to local medical facilities in the event of illness or injury, coverage of medical transport to local facilities and translator services if necessary.
We are not happy campers! We would have been better off if we had not purchased the insurance in the first place.

Thank you for your feedback on the policy. We are sorry to learn about the injury that was suffered. Unfortunately, the Global Underwriters Diplomat International plan does not cover Trip Interruption due to an injury or illness of an insured person. Most Single-Trip Medical plans cover Trip Interruption due to the death of an immediate family member or a Natural Disaster which destroys your principal place of residence.
Comprehensive travel insurance plans do cover Trip Interruption due to an unforeseen, accidental injury, emergency illness, or death of the insured(s), traveling companion(s), and family member(s).
In the future, please call us at 800-487-4722 so we can assist you in selecting plans that adequately cover your primary concerns.Apr 01,2016

I presumed incorrectly that a state of emergency and a curfew would be cause for a covered trip cancellation. Apparently this is not considered terrorism.

We appreciate your feedback. Although we understand your disappointment, an incident is only defined as terrorism if it is deemed a terrorist act by the United States Government. This is true for all the plans on our website.
Your Tokio Marine HCC policy specifically states that a "Terrorist Incident means an incident deemed a terrorist act by the United States Government that causes property damage or Loss of life".
In the future, if you are looking for guidance in selecting a travel insurance plan, please consider contacting our office at 800-487-4722 where a licensed representative would be happy to assist you.Nov 25,2019

We had to cancel our trip because our daughter developed a serious illness. The claims process was a nightmare from filing to payment- four months later. It was as if this company has a list of "tricks" that it utilizes to put roadblocks in front of anyone who files a claim. Dropped service rep calls, inconsistent claims information by different reps, claims applications that were "too large" to email, a document uploading software that repeatedly failed. The company required reams of medical and payment documentation and then claimed that the the document file I submitted was "too large for their system. I could go on but I'm sure you get the picture. IMG 's business model is to repeatedly frustrate claimants until many of them give up. I might have too if I hadn't contacted Insure My Trip's customer advocate team. Matthew contacted IMG on my behalf and helped me eventually receive payment. I was one of the lucky ones. Spare yourself hours of misery and do not buy a policy from this company.

I filed a claim after my brand new $1000 camera was drenched with a mixed drink. I was told that I had to file with my home owner's policy first. Isn't the whole purpose of having paid extra for this insurance so that I get better coverage and don't have to take the hit with my primary? I was told that if I did not do that, I'd be limited to $500 (my deductible on my HO policy). So I filed, and was denied. Then still only got $500. Because that's all the policy covers. I can't find that anywhere in the 20pages of fine print. Feel like the adjuster was less than honest/genuine.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to learn that your camera was damaged on your trip. The AIG Travel Guard Gold provides Secondary coverage for Baggage and Personal Effects. If a travel insurance plan is secondary, the insured person(s) would be required to file a claim with their Homeowner's insurance first. If coverage is denied or only partially provided, the travel insurance would cover the remainder, up to the policy limit.
As stated in your policy certificate, your plan covers the following under Baggage and Personal Effects:
"The Company will reimburse the Insured up to:
• 500USD for the first item and thereafter
• 250USD per each additional item
• 500USD aggregate on all Losses to: jewelry, watches, furs, cameras and camera equipment, camcorders, computers, electronic devices, including but not limited to: lap top computers, cell phones, electronic organizers and portable CD players."
Please call us at 800-487-4772 if you have any questions pertaining to this policy, or about primary vs secondary coverage. We would be happy to assist you.Mar 14,2019

Terrible claim experience. Our luggage was stolen and I filed a claim upon our return home. Gave them everything they asked for, including the police report. They apparently waited over two weeks before even looking at it. Then they said they would do nothing until I provided them with completely irrelevant information: they wanted the detailed itinerary of the rest of our trip AFTER the theft occurred. I provide that, and they took another two weeks before paying the claim. What should have been a very simple and quick transaction took a full month to resolve. I will never use this company again.
