We had to cancel the trip due to a family health emergency. The claim was processed and approved one day after submission. I was quite pleased with the customer service and responsiveness!

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.

We didn't file a claim so it's impossible to rate the service provided. We did have a $170 loss for an optional tour that we couldn't attend because my wife came down with a sore throat. I didn't bother filing a claim because I know Hancock, or any other travel insurer, would have required a doctor's certificate to reimburse and since we were in the middle of Nepal where there were no doctors we were unable to provide the required documentation. So, travel insurance is a necessary evil that can be used for serious injury but is generally overpriced since, as in our case, you can't even file a claim in certain circumstances. I'm not criticizing Hancock because all travel insurers have essentially the same requirements.

I did not get the results from my claim that I had hoped, but the response was fair and according to the purchased coverage . Because of a mix-up with the airline, I spent nearly $200 on long-distance overseas telephone fees to get my wife's ticket issued for the return trip. Since this expense was not a result of a trip delay, it was not covered. (Of course, the airline did not accept responsibility, either.) So, although I did not get what I had hoped, John Hancock handled everything promptly and professionally. I would use them again.

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.
