Fortunately, I enjoyed the trip and never needed to use your plan. I was happy to get the coverage and felt confident it was just what I needed to cover my trip. Thank you for your service.

Hard to assess the "goodness or badness" of the plan given no claim was file.

AXA claims handling is terrible. I made a claim because the first leg of a three leg international journey was cancelled due to a winter storm. I had to rent a car to drive 300 miles to the next airport to catch the second leg of the trip. The airline's ticket refund was less than the cost of the rental car. I filed a claim with AXA for about $100--the amount the rental car charge exceeded the airline reimbursement.
I submitted the extensive documentation AXA required. After 6 weeks, AXA denied the claim with a nonsensical letter. I explained the claim again, and AXA requested additional documentation, which I provided. In response, AXA denied the claim again--this time insisting that my flight was cancelled 2-1/2 months before departure, not the night before departure. I threatened a small claims lawsuit and reported the matter to insuremytrip.com. After a few weeks, AXA requested (for the first time) a letter from the airline confirming the cancellation and the reason. I provided that documentation and my claim was finally accepted.

Fortunately didn’t need to use the plan. Peace of mind, however in knowing I had insurance.

The plan seemed to cover the essentials, although I thought the price was high. Because we did not make a claim, I cannot speak about how the insurance actually works.

The cost of the plan was more reasonable than the other plan we'd used in the past. Fortunately, we had no occasion to use the coverage, but the purpose of insurance is peace of mind, and that's what we felt we had!

It's difficult to review a product that you did not use! However, the coverage provided the "peace of mind" that we sought prior to our trip.

Although we are very sorry that you had such a negative experience with the AXA claims department, we are pleased to hear that AXA has now paid your claim.
We did not publish your review when it was first received on May 25th because we assigned an Anytime Advocate to support you with the process since you believed that your claim was unfairly denied. Now that your claim is settled, we are publishing your review.
Please feel free to call Customer Care at 800-487-4722 if you have further questions.
