In response to your comments, we did make a complete review of your policy to determine if there was any coverage available under Baggage Delay / Baggage Delivery. Your John Hancock Bronze plan states that:
"BAGGAGE DELAY / BAGGAGE DELIVERY
We will pay You for the expense of replacing necessary personal effects, up to the maximum shown on the
Schedule of Benefits, if Your Checked Baggage is delayed or misdirected by a Common Carrier for more than 12 hours, while on a Covered Trip, except for travel to final destination or place of residence.
If Your Checked Baggage is delayed after You have reached Your destination and the Common Carrier makes a charge for delivery, We will pay the reasonable cost up to the Baggage Delivery Maximum Benefit shown on the Schedule of Benefits to deliver Your Checked Baggage to Your Destination. A copy of the delivery invoice and verification of the delay or misdirection by the Common Carrier must be submitted with the claim.
You must be a ticketed passenger on a Common Carrier. All claims must be verified by the Common Carrier who must certify the delay or misdirection and receipts for the purchase or replacement of necessary personal effects
must accompany any claim."
Since the policy clearly limits reimbursement "...to deliver Your Checked Baggage to Your Destination...", there would be no payment for the taxi.
Please call Customer Care at (800) 487-4722 if you need assistance in the future to quote and select a policy. We are available weekdays from 7:00 AM to midnight and weekends 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM ET.
