Multiple document requests to complete claim (my son fractured his ankle in Aruba). First check was sent to wrong address (physical vs mailing). Check finally received.

Fortunately we had no problems or issues and never had to contact Roam Right.
Hopefully if we had occasion to connect with them, they would have been able to help.

I never had to use the insurance, which I'm happy about. But that means I don't know how well it would have worked had I needed it. But it did give me peace of mind.

On the 1st day of our arrival in UK, my NorthFace jacket was lost/stolen while on platform of London subway. When I returned home, I filed a claim with RoamRight for the replacement cost of the jacket (less than $100). I received 1 email saying the claim was filed and requesting proof of trip itinerary, which I furnished immediately. The claims department has been unresponsive since that. After making about a 6 or 7 phone calls, I was told my claims representative no longer worked for RoamRight. I was provided the first name of the claims representative who was now assigned to my claim. I requested to have my call directed to the new claims representative or their voicemail, but was told they cannot receive incoming calls (??). I asked that the claims representative call me, and was promised on 3 separate occasions she would call me. I never received a single call ! A week later, I received an email asking me to provide proof that I filed a report of my loss with my tour company, hotel or police. There was no tour company, and the hotel was not involved. Anyone who even looked at my claim submission would realize that. I again contacted RoamRight and asked to speak to my assigned claims representative or their voicemail once again. I was again told that was not possible. I asked the person taking the calls if the policy had specific language requiring a police report in order to pay claims. Of course, I got not answer or explanation.
I have made over a dozen phone calls to claims department, have been lied to 3 times by being promised a return call from my claims representative and just generally ignored. To date (after 2 1/2 months), I have received 2 emails only. It seems the policy of RoamRight is too ignore claims until the policy holders just wear out and give up.
I would not recommend anyone purchase a RoamRight policy.
I have purchased other policies here at insuremytrip.com and had to make a sizable medical treatment claim on one policy. Working with the claims department on that loss (not a RoamRight policy) was straightforward, honest and fairly quick. The experience with RoamRight has been dishonest, evasive, and consisted of misleading communications.

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.
