Had to make a claim because of catching covid and quarantine requirements in the country I was staying. The claims process was easy and the agent I spoke to on the phone was very kind and helpful.
It did take a couple months for my claim to be processed and paid due to being unusually busy. This did not bother me and I was told that usually they try to process claims within 30 days and hope to be back to that target by January 2023.

Although I did not take my trip for just the reasons I purchased the insurance, my airline was kind enough to fully refund my tickets and I did not need to file a claim. However, I was happy to have the insurance as a backup plan and it was worth the price for peace of mind.

The five-month claim processing time of C&F Travel Insured is worse than poor. It is deceptive and frustrating and designed to make the traveler give up in abject despair. Before purchasing, please read the reviews from people who actually filed claims. They speak to the poor service.
I did not give up, and my claim was settled after five months. Five months following submission of the claim form that they sent, a cover page listing each expense that I created for them, and a receipt for every single expense that I prepared as a PDF.
I filed on June 15 and was approved for payment of the claim on November 16. I am writing this review with facts so other travelers will beware.
I contacted C&F Travel Insured many times. Each of their representatives was courteous and polite. In August a representative “escalated” the claim for me. That had zero effect. No one could tell me when it would be reviewed. In October, I was told that the form they gave me in June was for trip interruption and I needed a trip delay form. Remember they had my documents and explanation since June 15.
I completed the form immediately in October and it was approved November 16. The terms of the insurance coverage were fine, but the five-month length of the claim process was inexcusable. What’s the point of insurance if a traveler cannot get paid?

This was my first international trip, so I'm not seasoned in reference to rating their coverage, however, the person who helped me initially, answered all my questions and I felt very confident that I chose the right plan. I didn't have to file a claim, but just knowing that I had coverage for everything brought me peace. I'd recommend their services to anyone needing insurance for their international travels.

I had to make a claim for a trip delay due to Covid. The company finally paid the claim, but it took about 6 months. Part of the delay was because they sent me the incorrect forms to fill out. The rest of the delay was unexplained. Also, the call center has extremely long hold times (upwards of one to two hours).

Great plan, covered everything I needed to be covered. Great Price, everything was explained concisely and in plain language. Will definitely use again.

This policy is the first time I actually had to file a claim (for a trip delay situation). The claim website was a little clunky, and I had to call customer service. They warned that there was a backlog, and results would take awhile. During the interval, I received two e-mails saying they were sorry it was taking so long, but finally they alerted me that they were paying out the amount that I had filed for, so I'm happy.

Update: I would give this company MINUS 5 stars if I could. Horrible service and I never got paid until I filed a claim with the state insurance commission. And then they shortchanged me by $600 and have so far been unable to provide me documentation showing why. Do not use them. Original: I filed a claim that I'd already been told was good and I've been waiting months and months! to hear anything. No one EVER answers their claims phone number. I sent FIVE emails asking what was up, and finally just got a form email back saying they're still processing it. This is completely different from any other trip insurance claim I've ever filed. Very unsatisfactory.

You kept & $200 out of the $500 I paid after canceling. Unforeseen circumstances came where I had to cancel. I paid for protection for the trip, not insurance if I didn’t go. I am very disappointed. You say you used my insurance to retrieve a deposit I paid to the Catholic Travel Centre. I never went on the trip and you should have reimbursed me fully for not using the insurance in Jerusalem. I could have understood a small amount for processing, but not $200!!!! What a racket.:(
