Very easy to get coverage, talked through plans with a representative who answered all questions, looked up what Plan covered our needs. Excellent customer service.

Our two week Insight tour to Croatia was cancelled due to lack of guests. I was forced to cancel our Lufthansa air because there was no reason to wander around Croatia without a tour.
NY does not allow a cancel for any reason clause in the trip insurance. Insurance premium is not refundable. Most people DO NOT buy refundable air fare. Air is too much and so is the refundable fare.
Insight refunded the tour payment.
We lost our airfare. Generali did not accept our circumstances and did not refund the air fare. Was it a trip interruption? NO! Generali did nothing for us except take our money. They did not offer a voucher for the $556 premium. I can understand their reason that our problem was not covered but in this day and age things are unsettled. Also we made our purchases in good faith. It was beyond our control that the trip was cancelled. We lost a total of $2400.00.
We have used Generali many times. We never had a problem because we never needed to file a claim.

I saw Generali offices in several cities we visited, and this reassured me that my confidence in Generali is not misplaced. Luckily, unlike after a prior trip to Europe, we will not need to file a claim this time .

Even though we did not file a claim, having the Generali Global plan provided good peace of mind while traveling during times of covid and airline delays.

Fortunately we did not need to use the insurance, so I can’t speak to how the response would have been had I filed a claim.
I thought the cost was reasonable for what seemed to be decent coverage and gave me peace of mind.

Hi Patricia. Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you had to cancel your trip and apologize for not meeting your expectations. We take customer service and the claims review process very seriously and cannot stress enough that it is important to review the coverage details of our plans via the sample Description of Coverage/Insurance Policy that’s provided at the time of purchase, and contact us at (800) 541-3522 or via email at [email protected]. with any additional questions you may have. We also offer a free look back period with all of our plans to allow customers to cancel their policies within a designated period as long as they haven't already left on their trip or filed a claim. The plan you purchased includes approximately 20 different covered events under which we can provide coverage if you are forced to cancel your trip. The plan is unfortunately unable to provide coverage for every event that might cause you to cancel. If there is something specific that you want to be sure is covered, feel free to ask about it before you purchase the policy. Please reach out to us at the number or email provided above if you have any additional questions or concerns.
