I don't like that it's more expensive as it gets closer to travel deadline I had so many things to decide and plan and think about expense wise, that by the time I decided it was a higher price. I didn't use it as I figured I most likely wouldn't so it ended up being another expense for me my son had recommended I didn't buy it, so guess it would be better to keep your prices down all the way to departure

Thank you for your feedback. Premiums for comprehensive policies are based largely on the length of the trip, the ages of the travelers, and the cost of the trip. Generali plans also use a variable rate structure that may fluctuate up or down as you near your departure date. However, a travel insurance policy is considered to be of good value when the policy premium is 4-10% of the insured trip cost.Nov 25,2019

My husband & I started buying insurance about 6 years ago. It seamed expensive each time I purchased it, but as our parents were aging I thought it was something we should do. We recently planned our longest and farthest trip for over a year to go to New Zealand and Australia. We were very excited, both of us healthy, when out of no where the night before, my husband got sick, and we went from 2 emergency room visits that night to being admitted to the hospital for 4 more days and he was not advised to travel for a few months after that due to follow up doc visits. On my initial call I was in quite a panic, but they were calm & understood and helped me deal with it all. All turned out good for my husband, and we rebooked the only other cruise/airfare available for a similar trip this fall. And we are buying the same policy we had last time with Generali. Why? Because due to their excellent response & assistance & clarification of what info they needed, etc. in order for us to get our money returned as soon as possible they deserve our loyalty. They were always available when I needed to ask a quesiton. I advise keeping detailed records, (I am fortunate that my husband did that) Also, know that that it will take time for all the paperwork (about 60 days) but the delays are not because of the insurance company, usually due to waiting on hospital records, etc. (they also warned me in advance about the time frame to collect all the data). My claim handler Chanel was fantastic.

I was satisfied with the coverage I purchased. I did not have to use the benefits while traveling but it made me feel secure to know I was covered if a problem did occur.

This insurance is a joke. My suitcase was damaged in transit. The amount of information required to file a claim is ridiculous, and a claim cannot be filed unless it is all received. For example, I no longer have a receipt for the suitcase, as this was purchased almost 2 years ago. It is a hard case suit case, and i cannot get an estimate for a repair (another required document), as the case is completely cracked and can't be repaired. The other information being requested is unobtainable also. Never again!

Not really sure on the goodness of the plan because I never needed to file a claim, but I was glad I had the insurance. two others on the trip were either sick or injured and if that had happened to me, I would have returned home and filed a claim!

Thank you for your comments.
In response to this review, Generali researched their files but could find no record of your call or email to the Generali claims or emergency assistance center. However, they do have a call from you to their customer service center asking to cancel this policy stating that you already had a policy. Since your call to cancel this policy was outside the 10 Day Review Period, you were not eligible for a refund.
"10-DAY RIGHT TO EXAMINE YOUR POLICY
If you are not satisfied for any reason, you may cancel coverage under the Policy within 10 days after receipt. Your premium payment will be refunded, provided that there has been no incurred covered expense and you have not left on your Trip. Return the Policy to us at the Program Administrator’s office or our authorized agent. When so returned, the Policy is void from the beginning. After this 10-day period, the payment for this coverage is nonrefundable."
We regret that we could not be of assistance. Please call us at 800-487-4722 if you require additional information.Mar 14,2019

It felt good to have a plan. Fortunately I had no need to use it. I will always use this plan in the future when I travel.
