Travelex
Travel Basic
Great alternative to cruise line associated insurance. Didn't have to file a claim this time, but have in past with Travelex and had no problems getting paid, unlike a claim with AON going on 9 months since date of loss.

I was very pleased with how quickly they took care of our claim. I was also happy that when we were delayed 9 1/2 hours that they paid for our lunches even though we had paid cash and didn't have receipts. It was a very reasonable price that we paid for our lunch so it was good that they covered it. Very happy with the expedited claim.

This is the 2nd time I have bought insurance through Generali Global Assistance. I would buy it again through them. Very pleased with their service when I had to file a claim in 2022.

Fortunately did not have to use this trip insurance. Always comforting to know I have coverage particularly when traveling to exotic destinations.

I had to cancel a trip due to an injury 2 weeks before I was due to leave. It was a group trip with hotel, daily transport to ski areas, airfare and other items. I showed documentation for airfare not being refundable and all my payments. Within 3 weeks I had my check. The representative called me with one question. She was polite and understood my claim once we spoke. I am more than satisfied.

Had to cancel our trip due to medical reasons. We received a partial settlement in two weeks for the land portion of the trip. Not bad! We were issued airline credits directly from the airline. However, we had purchased seat upgrades which were not reimbursed by Delta. Trying to get the last $189.98 from this insurance company was like pulling teeth, at best. Picture the most frustrating, mind-boggling experience you could have with a company. Don't expect to ever speak to a claims rep. CLAIM REPS DON'T TAKE PHONE CALLS! The CSRs who answer the phone are pleasant enough, but will put you on hold forever and then tell you they can't transfer you to anyone who is actually handling your claim. Are you kidding? Not only don't they take phone calls, apparently they never read their email or look at a claim file. They do, however, send the most ridiculous emails saying they need more information from you, or a provider, to process your claim but they don't say what they require. Who do you require it from? What? If you send them an email, you will get an automated reply.
Do yourself a favor and shave your head before you try to submit a claim to these people. It will be much less traumatic than pulling your hair out every time you have to deal with them.
Oh and by the way, I worked in Claims for many years, so I know what decent service is. This company does not have it.
Good luck if you have to actually argue an issue like a pre-existing condition or have a large dollar claim. I can't even imagine the runaround you will get.
I stopped counting after 12 phone calls and 14 emails. In the end, it took me just over 5 months to get the last lousy $189.
Also, side note....Saying a company has a 4.5 star rating is very misleading when most of the reviews say, "I'm so glad I didn't need to make a claim." How about having a separate rating for people who actually did make a claim???!!! Sorry, if that exists somewhere, but I didn't find it.

Customer service was friendly and easy to work with when I purchased the plan. Thankfully, we did not need to use our purchased travel insurance. It was a comfort to know we had additional coverage if we needed it on our trip.

Had a great time at the resort in Mexico…will return.
We didn’t need to use our trip insurance, so I can’t really evaluate how good the company would have responded to a claim…but of course the best trip is when nothing bad happens!

Thank goodness I did not need to use my insurance for a trip to a remote Himalayan country, but I felt confident that I was protected with my Generali Global Standard plan. The price was very reasonable in relation to the coverage I needed (such as evacuation insurance, just in case). Great customer reviews, easy to purchase and good company reputation were key factors in choosing Generali insurance for my trip.

The best part of having this insurance was the ability to enjoy our vacation instead of worry about 'what if'.
