InsureMytrip made it super easy to browse and purchase trip insurance and they sent email confirmation of my purchase. Days before departure they also sent a "Bon Voyage" email with reminders and links for easy download.
I chose the John Hancock Gold plan for my traveling needs. It is administered through Seven Corners. They sent me ID cards and plan info via automated email on the same day that I purchased the coverage. They also provided contact info.
I did have to file a claim and it was a fantastic experience. I wish all of my vendor/provider interactions could be like this.
I called them just after a failed air departure. I did not have to navigate a lengthy "phone tree" or remain on-hold waiting for assistance. I first spoke with Angela. She was pleasant, helpful with my questions and immediately emailed the correct claim form to me.
I don't like to email private information (such as SSN) and faxing was inconvenient so I'm glad that they also have online uploads. Unfortunately, I had trouble with the on-line uploading. It appeared as though my documents uploaded successfully (no red x's), but it turns out that they likely had not (Seven Corners indicated that they had not received them). Seven Corners encouraged me to resubmit them. This time around, I got immediate feedback via email for a successful upload. The trick was to just upload one document at a time and not try to upload a group of documents. It's more tedious, but doing so yields email confirmation ("proof") for each and every document.
One week later, they asked for additional information which I was able to email to them (no private data required -- just the certificate number). It was a reasonable ask for an explanation of why I wasn't on the flight. I received a decision regarding the claim within a week via email and received payment days later. They didn't HAVE to alert me via email that a letter was on its way, but it was much appreciated. I will also mention that each interaction included someone's name -- not some generic department. Today, I recommended Seven Corners to family who regularly travel internationally (and have been waiting months for their claim from another company to be processed).
Kudos to the John Hancock team at Seven Corners, Angela H. and Deborah C. as well as InsureMyTrip.com !

Excellent service.
Paid my claim promptly when submitted.
Hopefully, you never have to make a claim. This policy was top-notch and the service was great. I will use this firm again.

We unfortunately missed the first day of our cruise due to our flight being cancelled due to an airport workers strike. The insurance claim processing was straight forward and they were very prompt on processing our claim. I will definately use them for our next trip. You always hope that nothing happens to delay your trip, but having an insurance company that is straightforward to deal with and prompt with a fair resolution gives you a lot of peace of mind when travelling.

If not for the InsureMyTrip advocate, I doubt John Hancock would have ever paid my claim. My husband was seriously injured in a fall and required hospitalization 2 days before we were to depart. I sent in all required documents within 10 days of his accident and got virtually no response from JHC. After waiting 3 months and getting no response to my inquiries, I asked InsureMyTrip for help. Their advocate called several times and arranged a conference call where they finally agreed to mail the check asap. Almost 4 months after filing my claim, I did receive full reimbursement, but not until sending multiple additional documents and with phone calls from IMT's advocate. I would never use JHC again.

Within days of departing on our trip, we needed to change the dates on the plan and add 2 days. I made a call. They gave me an email address to write to. I received a response within 24 hours that the change was approved. NO CHARGE!

My ship's arrival into Shanghai was delayed 5 hours due to fog, necessitating me to incur an additional half-day room charge. JHIA promptly paid my travel delay claim. Couldn't ask for more.

Our trip was canceled in Nov. 2017 by our travel tour company, who closed their co.
It took us until March 2018, after many phone converrsations, letters, copies of contracts, etc that it was finally agreed we deserved our monies we paid for our trip that was canceled for us, not by us.
Until this time we have used John Hancock numerous times with no problems, and would recommend.

We insured our December 2017 trip to Antarctica with a JH Travel policy. Due to poor weather, we never made it to our Antarctica destination. When we returned to the states, we filed our claim with Seven Corners (the JH policy had been transferred / sold from JH to Seven Corners). This turned out to be a terrible experience. The customer service was atrocious. The company did everything possible to deflect paying legitimate claims. After countless emails, phone calls and letters, itsl now taken close to four months to receive payment on our full claim. I will never use JH nor Seven Corners for Travel Insurance again! Horrible experience!

My husband and I are very glad we had this trip insurance. Trip insurance has become a must for us, not knowing what circumstances can arise. Unfortunately, we had to cancel due to a health issue with my husband. Fortunately, we had good trip insurance through John Handcock Insurance Agency. Alter filing the claim and their request for additional information from the doctor, we received full payment for the trip expenses incurred. We would highly recommend using this company for all your trip insurance needs.
