AXA Assistance USA Platinum
I didn't need to make a claim so I can't really judge the quality of the policy I purchased. I was happy with the price and coverage provided.

The trip included a
cruise
AXA Assistance USA Gold
We purchased this policy to cover unlikely weather events that would prevent our adventure cruise from operating, per the recommendation of the adventure cruise company as they would not reimburse under those circumstances. A category 5 tropical storm (hurricane) then occurred damaging the ship irreparably preventing us from going on this cruise. This event was clearly covered in our policy, yet AXA denied our claim, denied 2 appeals, then advised us to take our issue to our state insurance commissioners office. We did that and eventually received compensation. This took over 4 months from when our claim was filed. While we received prompt and courteous response from the customer service reps, we were repeatedly denied direct access to any of the adjusters who denied our claim to have them explain their reasons, which changed with every denial. This process was very stressful as we were to loose $7500 in what was so clearly covered by the policy. This is the first time we have filed a travel insurance claim so we don't know if all insurers are like this or just AXA. However, we believe most customers would not go this far to be reimbursed and insurance companies know this.

Customer Advocates are representatives assigned to assist customers who experience issues after filing a claim. Requesting a Customer Advocate is as simple as calling 800-487-4722 or emailing [email protected], explaining the events which resulted in a claim, and the challenges you are facing.

I fell in New Zealand and had a large bruise on my leg. The international telephone number was not working so I could not ask about special accommodations on my flight home.

I purchased an AXA Assistance USA Gold Plan for a 2 week trip to New Zealand for myself and my husband. Unfortunately we had to cancel about 6 weeks before the trip due to a medical problem. I was worried that AXA would make me jump through hoops to get our refund for trip expenses but that was definitely not the case. The AXA claims specialists were professional and helpful. I submitted the paperwork that was necessary and got notification of acceptance for the claim and a check very quickly. I will use AXA in the future.

Since we had no claim, as usual, it is hard to evaluate how the service is if we ever do have a claim. One must always read the fine print in policies, though, as even "Cancel For Any Reason" may not mean that.

We have used Insure My Trip many times.

    Thank you for your feedback on the policy. We appreciate your business. We advise customers to read the terms and conditions of the policy they are interested in prior to purchasing. The description of coverage for each plan can be accessed at several points during the quoting and buying process on our website. If you have any questions regarding policy language, please call us at 800-487-4722 so that our representatives can help provide clarification. We want customers to have a clear understanding of what the polices cover and how they work.

    Trip Cancellation reimburses 100% of the pre-paid and nonrefundable trip cost insured on the policy if the trip is cancelled for a listed covered reason.

    Cancel For Any Reason is an optional benefit which can be purchased in addition to Trip Cancellation. If the eligibility requirements are met, the benefit is selected and paid for, the customer can cancel their covered trip for any reason. Any reason does mean any reason.

    In general, Cancel For Any Reason is applicable if:

    1) the policy is purchased with the benefit included within 10-30 days after making the initial trip payment (time frame depends upon specific policy)

    2) the full cost of all non-refundable prepaid travel arrangements in insured on the policy

    3) the trip is cancelled at-least 2 days prior to the Scheduled Departure Date.
