During my trip, my passport was stolen on my way to the airport for my departing flight. As a result, I had to incur costs for another hotel overnight stay, as well as trips to the Police Station to report the theft and costs for an emergency travel card and a replacement passport. Filing my claim was simple and straightforward. It is important to retain all original receipts for claimed expenses as these must be submitted along with the claim form and the police report. Customer service agents were extremely efficient and assured a response within 15 business days following receipt of the claim with all supporting documentation. I was very happy to receive a reimbursement check for $315 which covered all my submitted expenses. This was the first time I ever submitted a travel claim and I was very pleased with the process and the outcome. I highly recommend Travelex Travel Select Plan and will purchase this insurance again for future trips.

The plan appears to provide the coverage I desired but until you file a claim, which I did not, you really can’t judge.

Didn’t need to use it but it helps traveling when you know you have coverage for most incidents

I bought the policy primarily for rental car insurance. However, in the Republic of Ireland, they wouldn't accept it and would not rent a car unless you bought their expensive policy for full car replacement.
The policy said it would cover Ireland, however, that is not true. I feel like I spent $400 for nothing.

Thankfully didn't need to apply for coverage but was extremely satisfied with policy features and InsureMyTrip's email communication in prep for my departure etc.

When you pay a lot of money for a trip of a life time, you need to feel safe. I was a little late in starting to look for a plan but insuremytrip was extremely easy to use. I just filled out the online form and received quotes. Simple as that. Quotes AND reviews of the different companies made it easy to pick, pay and receive my policy. I highly recommend and happy that I didn't need it. I've already recommended it to my sister and husband who are planning on taking the same trip we did next year!

Thank you for your 5 star review of the Generali Standard plan. Although you can purchase the Generali policies up until the day before departure, Generali does offer its Premium plan which includes time sensitive benefits that includes but is not limited to the preexisting condition waiver available to you if you purchase the Premium plan prior to or within 24 hours of your final payment for the full cost of your trip.

Hopefully, it was a good plan and fortunately, I didn't have to file any claims.

This is the second time I have submitted a claim to Generali Assistance. In both cases the claim was handled promptly and I received a check for the submitted amount within 2 weeks.
I wouldn't use anyone else.

Didn't have to use it but if something tragic would have occurred I felt this coverage would have stepped in to give us the medical care we would have needed.

One of the things that I was after in the plan was the auto insurance. You knew that we were going to Ireland and said nothing about the fact that your auto insurance ($58.00) would NOT cover us in Ireland. I feel that I have been taken advantage of. I am EXTREMELY unhappy!

Thank you for your review.
The Crum and Forster Travel Insured policies do provide Rental Car Damage for travel in Ireland according to the following terms and conditions;
"RENTAL CAR DAMAGE
Applicable only when specifically requested on the original application and the appropriate additional premium has been paid and purchase confirmed on Your Confirmation of Benefits.
You are eligible for benefits up to the Maximum Benefit Amount shown in the Confirmation of Benefits, if You rent a car while on Your Trip, and the car is damaged due to collision, theft,
vandalism, windstorm, fire, hail, flood or any cause not in Your control while in Your possession, or the car is stolen while in Your possession and is not recovered.
We will pay the lesser of:
a. the cost of repairs and rental charges imposed by the rental company while the car is being repaired;
b. the Actual Cash Value of the car; or
c. the amount shown in the Confirmation of Benefits.
Coverage is provided to You, provided You are a licensed driver and are listed on the rental agreement."
Although your Certificate of Insurance indicates that you are traveling to Ireland, your rental car company did not accept the policy as proof of Rental Car Damage insurance and forced you to purchase the coverage from them. Perhaps they insisted on you purchasing the coverage because it included liability coverage which we cannot provide.
Although we regret that you are extremely unhappy with the decision, travel insurance providers do not delete coverage or refund premium after your departure date.May 31,2019
We are sorry to hear that the car rental agent in Ireland would not accept this policy as acceptable insurance.
However, the Rental Car Collision - Loss offered by your policy does not include auto liability coverage. Since car rental agents in Ireland require liability coverage, the required insurance most likely included auto liability insurance which our plans cannot provide.
InsureMyTrip is open 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and our customer care representatives are licensed insurance agents who are able to recommend the most cost effective plans which will cover the travelers primary concerns. If you would like to receive assistance in obtaining a quote or purchasing a policy, please call us at 800-487-4722 as we would be happy to assist you.
