Your cost is very high along with most companies that offer travel insurance. You're getting rich off those of us that feel we must get trave insurance with all the airline issues in the world. Glad I didn't have a problem. My friend did and says it's a pain putting together all the receipts, etc. to file a claim.

I have used Generali several times, they were really good during the pandemic, moving the insurance coverage to new dates. Due to how I book trips, I usually have to pay for the insurance in 2 or 3 payments, airfare, hotels, car hire as these items are booked. I therefore never know the total cost of insurance, but it is essential for peace of mind, I always worry I haven't covered everything and my claim will be denied due to a minor sum not included. I have never had to claim, but insurance is so opaque, it is a concern.

I have taken out Generali policies several times for our trips. I have only submitted claims twice. The first time I had two claims that were both paid. Most recently I again had two claims. one was paid and the other was denied. While the denial followed the contract guidelines, I was disappointed as the cruise ship recommended I file the claim after they refused to reimburse me for a missed excursion.

I had peace of mind knowing that I was covered for medical emergencies while overseas, especially for medical evacuation if it became necessary. Mercifully, I did not need to use the coverage but it gave me confidence knowing it was available to me.

My trip insurance was easy to set up. I liked having the ability to add coverage during the time before the trip.

Haven’t use my insurance but felt well protected.
Always use “Insure my trip” platform for all my travel.

Luckily I did not have to file a claim, although the trip did not go as planned.
However, the tour operator, Quark Expeditions, agreed to refund a pro-rated amount for 3 days of the expedition cost and and pay additional reimbursements for three days at $100 per person per day to cover meals expenses for the extra days we had to spend in Calgary waiting for embarkation.
Here is the letter they provided for anyone wanting to file a claim.

Re: Canada’s Remote Arctic aboard Ultramarine – August 19- August 30, 2023 – Trip Interruption
Dear Travel Insurance Provider,
This letter is to inform you of the Trip Interruption to the above voyage due to wildfire activity in Yellowknife which resulted in the cancellation of their charter flight from Calgary to Resolute. Guests remained at the joining hotel Calgary until their return home.
On August 20, 2023 passengers were scheduled to fly on Summit Air charter flights departing Calgary at 9:00AM & 10:00AM and arriving in Resolute Bay at 3:33PM and 5:18PM where they intended to embark Ultramarine. However, on August 18 we were advised by Summit Air flights had been cancelled as their aircraft and crew had been redirected to assist in the wildfire efforts.
With Summit Airlines unable to operate charter flights Resolute was no longer a viable embarkation point, which resulted the embarkation point of Ultramarine changing to Iqaluit. Guests remained in Calgary until August 22. Flights were scheduled with Canada Jet Lines to operate on August 22 departing Calgary at 11:45 AM and arriving in Iqaluit at 6:10PM. Upon arrival in Iqaluit guest embarked upon Ultramarine and continued their expedition.
As per our terms and conditions, no compensation has been provided to travelers for flights outside our program or other expenses incurred due to the interruption.
Should you have any questions regarding this voyage interruption please contact Quark Expeditions via [email protected] with “Canada’s Remote Arctic August 19 departure Trip Interruption”, in the subject line.
Very Sincerely,
