Travel Insurance Reviews John Hancock Insurance Agency, Inc. Gold

Offering the highest coverage limits of the three plans provided by John Hancock, the Gold plan offers the most included coverage as well as optional upgrades. This plan offers Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption, as well as many other coverages including Missed Connection and Itinerary Change. These coverages could come in handy if a covered common carrier delay causes you to miss your cruise departure or if your travel supplier changes your covered trip itinerary after your departure date.

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.

I'm a US citizen over 65 and on Medicare which does not provide any medical coverage outside the US (except for the once in a life time $50K amount provided by my supplemental plan) I chose this Gold plan for it's PRIMARY medical coverage for a one month trip to New Zealand. Fortunately I did not have to file any claims, so I cannot rate the service. Plan was competitively priced for features and coverage.

We have traveled internationally quite a bit and only recently have begun to buy travel insurance. We have never had any incidents in which we needed to file a claim until our last trip. We are pleased to report that John Hancock promptly and fairly reimbursed us for our claim. Note to everyone who will file a claim: Keep all receipts.

Thankfully I didn't need to use the insurance on my trip but felt confident that if I needed it there would be assistance and help provided.

I routinely buy travel insurance but this is only my second claim in 10 years! My luggage was delayed 3 days.

After I emailed the company for directions, submitting the claim online (with scanned docs) was easy, and I was never asked to re-send anything. The only curious thing is, since this was a policy insuring two people, my baggage loss claim was split between my husband and me. Half the claim arrived 2.5 weeks before the other one, which caused initial confusion on my part and a concerned call to the agency. It would have been helpful to receive an explanation with the first check that the second half was on its way - or having two checks in the same envelope would have been a good idea!

Either way, it's done now, and I am happy with the answers I got on the phone while we were in New Zealand as well as with the smoothness of the online claims procedure. I will buy from this company again.

It was reassuring to know that we had coverage, particularly when one of us became ill in rural New Zealand. Our claim was handled efficiently and the staff were very courteous in answering our questions related to the process.
