Comprehensive plans offer the most benefits, including Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption. These plans provide the best protection for the investment you have made in your trip.
Had a few things happen to me while traveling and everything that I said was not claimable because they were written as not covered by insurance. The contract is very vague so you don't know what your covered for.

I was stranded at the airport for two days. I tried calling to ensure that I could get home in a timely manner, and I was waiting on hold for hours. Very disappointed.

I made a claim for medical expenses and they put all kinds of obstacles to not reimburse me. I had a frustrating experience. I do not recommend anyone to buy this insurance. it is a waste of money and a risk. use other policies such as Generali.

Overall, I was sort-of satisfied with this policy; most of the expenses we incurred as a result of sickness while traveling were reimbursed promptly, but unexpectedly not all.
After checking in for a transatlantic flight at the end of our long weekend in Barcelona in December, I became so sick I could not (didn't want to - and nor would the airline have wanted me to) board the aircraft; on the advice of airport medical services I was hospitalized. After many hours and many tests, I was cleared to travel 48 hours later. The Sickness section of this policy covered the ambulance, all direct medical expenses and two hotel overnights for recovery. The Trip Interruption section covered the cost of new airline tickets. Surprisingly, though, none of the other approximately $320 expenses resulting from my sickness (e.g. taxi from hospital to hotel, meals, replacement airport bus tickets, additional parking fee for overtime days at US airport, basic clothing (our baggage had been checked and could not be retrieved quickly) - none of which were pre-paid) were covered.
We're experienced and very moderate travelers. $320 is not a big deal for two adults for two days. Nevertheless, I wanted to check whether this omission was accidental or intentional. If intentional, it is something that a traveling family (more people, possibly more time) should note. After checking with the insurance carrier I'm satisfied that they ruled correctly in accordance with their policies (a data breach and Covid-19 slowed down the review). Nevertheless, my common sense view is that these were unavoidable costs that most people would consider to be the result of Sickness, Trip Delay or Trip Interruption and thus covered.
The Bottom line - read the fine print of any carrier's policy VERY CAREFULLY to see if it meets your common sense expectation of coverage if an unexpected event occurs. You might be surprised. Would I use them again or recommend them? Maybe yes, but with my eyes wide open to the unanticipated hole in coverage.

I wanted to FILE A CLAIM BUT Could not GET ANY RESPONSE FROM THE COMPANY. I tried calling several times and no one answered the phone even after being on hold for ever. Finally I got in touch by email and got paid

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to learn that your claim was paid.
The travel insurance industry has been experiencing an increased volume of inquires and claims due to the COVID-19 pandemic and have been trying their best to address all requests in the order in which they are received.
I bought a ticket on an airline that cancelled my flight and refunded the cost. However, that meant I was unable to use a second connection on a different airline to get to my final destination. I was told that cost would not be covered by the trip insurance. I was also told that the airline would not cover an earlier return to protect ourselves due to Corona 19. Once again
It is impossible to foresee every eventuality and trip insurance actually covers very little.

Ended up cancelling our trip to Spain due to what has been going on with the coronavirus. Made the cancellation before the 10 day window expired. Spoke to customer service who advised there were no refunds for NY residents. This contradicted what was in the certificate online in my account. They said it was in the confirmation email which of course was buried in fine print. Having purchased multiple plans using this service in the past this was extremely frustrating. Had an easier time getting credit from the airline who were much more supportive. I will be looking elsewhere to purchase insurance for my future travels.
