I purchased this policy at the last minute after neither I nor InsureMyTrip could get a response from the vendor of an initial policy for over two weeks, that had to be modified due to coronavirus concerns. I ended up buying this backup emergency evacuation plan on March 6, the date of our revised itinerary/departure because "it was too late to duplicate the original plan." InsureMyTrip and Tokio Marine provided reassurance for a major catastrophic event, which I appreciated under the circumstances.

Generali Global Assistance Preferred
I purchased a plan on January 29th, but after the initial coronavirus outbreak at the end of February, and prior to any quarantines in Italy, we rebooked our planned trip to go to a destination outside of Europe. Every hotel and the airlines provided immediate support - but I could not get in contact with Generali for over two weeks. I tried phone calls (where I was told there would be call backs within 3 hours) and emails (with no responses). Even InsureMyTrip could not get a response from Generali (on at least 5 different attempts through our March 6 departure). I ended up buying a backup emergency evacuation plan from another vendor on March 6 because "it was too late to duplicate the original plan with another vendor because of the timing of our new departure." I finally heard from Generali with a revision confirmation letter on March 9 "confirming our policy" with no evidence of the actual destination. Because of this experience, I feel it necessary to avoid Generali for all intents and purposes in the future.

We were unable to travel due to the corona virus in Italy. Your plan would not pay anything per your agent and I purchased trip insurance for nothing.

Seven Corners Liaison Travel Basic
I didn't have to file a claim with Seven Corners during my trip, but I had some annoyances with them that would lead me to recommend using a different company. Firstly, they did not send me a confirmation email of my plan. Yes, I checked my spam/trash folders. I had to contact them just to have them send me my travel insurance card to print. Secondly, they had no issues sending me multiple emails warning me that my plan was going to expire and asked me to renew. Well, of course it's going to expire because I only had a 2 week plan! I can only assume they are usually in the business for long term insurance plans and don't really have themselves set up properly for customers with short travel insurance plans.

    Thank you for your review. Seven Corners has provided the following response: "We’re glad to hear your trip went well, and we are sorry you did not receive a purchase confirmation. We routinely provide purchase confirmation emails with a link to our insurance ID cards for each purchase made. As far as renewal emails, we send those at preset intervals to remind people they can extend their plan if they would like. We find that customers often need to do this."

TravelSafe Classic
We missed our flight from LGA to BNA on the return, but SWA cancelled our flight and we were not contacted even though we had asked to take an earlier flight and were in the airport as the flight was leaving. We were later booked on the first flight out the following morning but had to stay in a hotel over night and got home the next day. That part was disappointing.
I did get a reply from SWA and they are going to issue us vouchers for the problems created with the missed flights.

The trip included a
cruise
Nationwide Mutual Insurance Universal Cruise
I purchased a policy from Nationwide for a cruise I planned to go on in October 2019. Because of the expense of a cruise, I thought insurance would be helpful in case I could not go on the cruise. Unfortunately for me I was robbed in Italy a couple of days before I was to go on the cruise. I could not go on the cruise as my entire purse was stolen with my passport and all my money. The cruise line will not let you go on board without a valid passport. I had no choice but to go to the nearest embassy to get an emergency passport to fly home. Nationwide said the cruise was not eligible for compensation. Ironically this was the only reason I bought insurance, in order to cover the cost of the trip if I was not able to go. All they would pay was $400.00 They sent an email stating they would send a check on December 4,2019.,but it could take 30 days to receive the check..This is ridiculous. It does not take 30 days to mail a check. I waited the required amount of time, and it is now well over 30 days. I called and they were not very helpful. I was told that if they were able to mail a check, it wouldn't be until Monday January 13,2020.. I can not recommend this company to anyone. I have no idea, if I will ever get paid.

    Thank you for your feedback on this policy. We are very sorry to hear that you were robbed on your trip and that your personal property was stolen. The representatives at Nationwide informed us that the claims were adjudicated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the policy.

    Comprehensive plans are designed to cover as many risks as possible, but is very rare for any insurance plan to cover all possible risks. Unfortunately, it was determined that the event that interrupted your trip did not fall within the scope of Trip Interruption for this specific plan. Nationwide advised that you had coverage under Travel Delay and you were reimbursed the maximum amount under that benefit.

    We appreciate you using InsureMyTrip for your travel insurance needs. As a travel insurance comparison website, InsureMyTrip offers dozens of plans from different providers. In the future, please consider calling us prior to purchasing a plan so that we can assist you in selecting the most cost effective policy that covers as many of your primary concerns as possible. Our toll free telephone number is 800-487-4722. We look forward to assisting you in the future.
