The insuremytrip website was very useful in finding the best plan to suit my needs. I selected the benefits that were important to me to filter the available plans and then picked the one with the lowest price that had decent reviews. We had to cancel our trip due to my wife's illness. The claims process was clear and straight-forward. The Confirmation of Coverage included a link to file a claim. I filled out the web page, which generated an email to me with the claims form attached, as well as clear instructions and a 6-item checklist of items they needed. I had the choice of emailing the documents, uploading them, or mailing them. I chose email. When I emailed the final document on the list (which needed to filled out and signed by a doctor, so it took a week or so), I asked them to keep me apprised of the status of my claim. I didn't hear anything other than an automated response saying they had received my email, so after 5 days I called. It didn't take too long to get through to a live person. They told me it can take up to 15 days to process the claim. Three days later (8 days after I emailed the last document), I received an email saying the claim was approved and payment would be by EFT to my bank. Within a few days, I received notice from my bank that the deposit had been made. I'm quite happy with the whole experience.

Had to cancel our trip for a medical reason 2 weeks before departure . Quick and full resolution to claim. I would definitely purchase this insurance again.

Obtaining the policy was very easy. I thankfully didn't need to file a claim, and since that's where the rubber meets the road, I can't evaluate the claims process. One thing I couldn't easily find was a policy where you could pick and choose the benefits. For example, my health insurance covers medical expenses outside of the country, and I didn't want to pay for additional coverage that I wouldn't need. But I didn't see policies that provided that option.

The process of selecting insurance was very simple, but I did have a few questions. The customer service people were very helpful in explaining differences between the plans. Of course I wish it cost less! But it is nice to know you are insured when you're leaving for a long vacation.

It was reassuring having the plan. I am glad I did not use it.

My husband had serious injury 3 weeks before our trip. We submitted the required paperwork and a check for a full refund arrived 4 weeks later. The process was very smooth.

Although we didn't file a claim, we made a couple changes prior to leaving on our 20 day trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos. The changes were handled easily, promptly, and documented shortly after. We would use Generali again when the need for TI arises.

I would prefer the coverage items to be a little more ala carte so you could pick and choose exactly the coverage you need/want and hopefully be able to reduce the cost.

I had two flight issues on this trip and plan to process some claims. I just returned late Sunday and am still catching up, as I am hosting a workshop in my home this weekend.
I called your office on the 20th and was told my plan didn't cover getting me home. What? I bought a plan for the whole trip. I was also told, I had to process any claims myself first and you were a secondary choice. You basically are NO help. I will never buy from you again.
I did read the policy before I left and again after my first flight issue. The "small print" policy would take a really experienced travel who has learned by error or an attorney to see what is missing.
An expensive ripe off.
I will be contacting a supervisor next week or after I have submitted claims to Avianca.
