It is hard to say how satisfied I am with the plan but the claim filing process is atrocious. I still have not been able to get out of an infinite sign in loop. I went to the claim page and created a username (email) and password. I promptly got sent an email to verify my password. When I went to sign back in I got the same create and account sign in page. When I tried to create a new account they told me my email had one. I went to the home page and logged in but they said I had the wrong password. When I asked to change my password they said they would send me an email but one never came. I will try again in a few hours and see if that leads to a better outcome and review.

I am now in the 5th month of attempting to obtain a partial refund for a trip that had to be cancelled due to a dire medical diagnosis and subsequent treatment. The diagnosis was early enough to allow me to cancel the cruise and reduce the insurance request by 50% of the purchased coverage amount. I was on the insurance web site when I contacted the insurance rep through the chat feature and was informed that I did not have a claim submitted (even though the web site showed the claim number, date of claim, and the heading "Claim in Progress" - I have a screenshot). As we were discussing this, the screen suddenly changed to report that I had no claim. When I questioned this, the rep had "no idea" how this happened. I hope I am sending this review prematurely and I am going to receive the partial refund (then I will amend this review) but I am proceeding to answer now as I received a request to do so from the company to review how I enjoyed my cruise.

Generali is a complete racket. I have been tying for weeks to follow up on a claim and all they do is give me the run-around. Obviously they don't want to pay out the claim so they are ignoring me and hoping I'll give up. What a bunch of crooks. Will never use Insuremytrip or Generali again.

I have bought travel insurance multiple times in the past, but this was the first time I actually filed a claim. The process to file the claim online was very easy to use. I received the approval to my claim only one day after I filed it and a check arrived in the mail a week later. I was very impressed and would definitely use Generali Global Assistance for further travel insurance needs.

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.

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!
