United lost my bag for 2 weeks. As I had to fly again for business during these 2 weeks, I had to purchase a new suitcase. When I called to staqrt a claim, I was informed that delayed baggage claims are only for outbound flights, not on return flights. I found that to be a disappointment and rather unrealistic with the flying community these days.

I filed a claim under the Cancel for Any Reason provision. I was able to initiate the claim online and email the supporting documents. Those processes were easy to use. The amount they paid was correct in accordance with the contract and matches what I expected. It took about 5 months from my claim submittal before they asked me for a few additional documents showing the cancellations I made. After that, the claim was paid within a couple of weeks. Normally I wouldn't consider that timeframe to be reasonable, however my rating is accounting for the delays that I assume all insurers are experiencing with high volume due to COVID-19.

I was injured on my trip (March 7, 2020) and filed a claim immediately (March 9, 2020). C&F was very helpful in arranging repatriation so that I could return home for orthopedic surgery. In order to get home, they said I had to pay for the flights and was told to submit the claim, which I did timely. I still have not been reimbursed for the trip interruption claim. I have called and emailed numerous times. When I call, I'm on hold for at least 45 minutes.I really have been given the runaround. When requested, I submitted any follow-up documentation immediately. My claims analyst does not email or answer my calls. Last thing I was told was that my claim is in final payment review but it's been 5 weeks since I was told that for the 2nd time. I'm at my wits end with this company. I know that COVID delayed things but I filed my claim early in the COVID crises and my claims has nothing to do with COVID. I hope someone from Insure My Trip can help with this claim. I would not buy insurance from this company again.
UPDATE: My claim was finally paid but it took a lot of effort. After numerous calls and several months, a supervisor finally contacted me and the claim issue was resolved. There was one minor issue holding up the claim and if they had contacted me initially, it would have been easily resolved. I had sent them the correct documentation but they had a question and could have easily emailed or called me.

Fortunately we did not need to file a claim for this trip. Everything went smoothly..However, we did file a claim for trip cancellation due to illness for previous trip booked for May 17th to Portugal and Spain and our claim was handled efficiently and effectively..Therefore, I will use C and F travel insured for all future trips.

We had to file a delayed baggage claim when 2 out of 3 bags didn't make our overseas trip. The lost luggage arrived two days later, but since we were in a winter climate, we needed additional items. The claims process to get these items reimbursed was much smoother than I expected. The whole process from start to finish took four months--it probably could have been quicker had I sent in all of the proper documentation. If there is one complaint, they were very vague in what additional documentation was needed (it was just a generic form letter); I had to re-send documentation even though I knew I had sent them previously.
Situations like this is why we purchase travel insurance.

We purchased a policy online for an upcoming trip. When I called to ask about the policy I was just told it was a good policy and what I needed to travel out of the country. Due to an unforeseen medical condition we were forced to cancel our trip. I filed a claim right away following all instructions given to file the claim. Imagine my surprise when the claim was denied. Apparently ours was one of the excluded reasons in fine print 20 pages into the policy booklet. I feel this company was deceitful and not helpful. They were willing to take my money for the policy but not willing to reimburse me.

Very much a no hassle processing of our claim. I had forgotten to change the coverage dates when we had decided to make our first flight a day earlier. I explained this to a claims rep when we initially reported that we were cancelling the trip. When we filed our claim several weeks later after getting all the documentation together the claim was processed promptly without any problems, which we really appreciated. Particularly pleasing because I've occasionally read comments from travelers who have had lots of trouble getting payouts from coverage with other companies.

I could not have been happier. This was the first time my husband and I got travel insurance. My sister also got it as the 3 of us were going on the same tour. We bought insurance because my father had cancer and we didn't know when the end might come. He died 4 days before the trip. The 3 of us decided my sister would stay with my mother while my husband and I went on the trip. My sister got a full refund including the extra flight to NC where the trip originated.
We stayed in Copenhagen a few extra days after the tour. On the 3rd day I fell and twisted my ankle badly, couldn't walk. We went to the doctor for a medical report and then made arrangements to go home the next day.
Travel Insured covered the extra cost of the flight change, taxis to and from the hospital, and to the airport. They were very helpful.
Will I get this again? Yes, definitely. We are in our mid-60s and want to travel feeling secure that if anything happens, we don't need to worry.

When I travel abroad, my biggest concern is the medical expense for unexpected accident. Getting travel insurance gives me a peace of mind and the coverage of your medical plan is very reasonable and affordable. Thankful that I came home without claiming anything. Thank you.
