Luckily we did not need to use the plan but it gave my wife and I peace of mind knowing it was there if unfortunately something happened to us while overseas.

We notified IMG immediately and then filed our claim promptly, a month after our trip was cancelled because of my mom's death. Three weeks after filing all documents requested, through their secure portal, I called and was told they had never received any documents. A week after I sent them a copy of the receipt confirm they had sent me when I filed, they "found" the documents. Another three week pause before they requested additional info that they had not initially asked for. Another three weeks (always with me needing to initiate the follow up) and they said the claim from a hotel was not valid because they did not charge me until we had cancelled (which their website, which I had sent a link to, clearly stated was how they would handle charges and cancellations). Another three weeks and they said that even though I had provided proof that our train ticket was non-cancellable / non-refundable, I needed to prove that I had cancelled it and did not get a credit. It was not until I wrote a letter stating that I no longer felt that I was being dealt with in good faith, that three plus months after I submitted our claims, and lots of hassle, they paid the claim. This has caused me to seriously question whether trip insurance is really worth what it costs when you factor in all the work and hassle to file a claim. P.S. If a company is always experiencing "heavier than usual call volumes" is it really heavier than usual?

We didn't need to use it, but we thought we would. Our call went right through from overseas and information was prompt and reassuring

Fortunately, I did not need to file a claim with this trip. I did have a claim with C&F for a trip earlier this year to Greece, and they handled it well after a five month wait. They were overloaded with Covid claims, so it was delayed, but I have no complaints. I will continue to purchase their policies.

In attempting to file a complex claim for several flight and port cancelations on a lengthy air/land/sea trip, I found that a.) The online claim software is inadequate to handle multiple issues, and b.) customer service is slow to respond to inquiries and requests other than an automated acknowledgement.
I called for assistance and was summarily dismissed/declined without any review of gathered, supporting documentation. Long cruise. One canceled flight. 4 missed ports (due to weather and port employee strikes), associated inconveniences.
Apparently, inasmuch as I didn't suffer any financial losses (flight replaced, no excursion cost losses incurred, etc.), I was denied. The contract/agreement wording could stand a review and rewrite for improved clarity.
My reading and understanding of the contract differs considerably from that of the insurer. I can find no appeal mechanism.
At least humor me by requesting/reviewing what I prepared but can't be uploaded on the company website. The software isn't programmed to handle concurrent claims.

Once I finally collected on my claim, I was very satisfied. I was fully covered. The problem was, it took 4 months to finally collect. I filed a claim in July. Telephone wait times were totally unacceptable. Once I was literally on hold for 6 1/2 hours. When I finally talked to someone in August, I was told they were working on claims from April. I called again in Sept. and was again told they were working on claims from April. Finally, before I could call again, I got an email that said my claim had been processed. I received exactly what I expected. In the end, I was very glad I bought the insurance.

Do NOT use IMG! When filing a claim, all you get are nondescript formula emails. The claims department is hidden away. Their customer service representatives only forward your concerns to claims. We will never buy their insurance again. There is no way to refute decisions made about their "verdicts". Read their reviews on other websites. You will read that they are terrible! Be careful.

Purchased plan. Did not have occasion to use it. What more can I say except I'll purchase it again on our next trip mainly due to our age. It is worth the expense when compared to the actual cost of a medevac. I know because I flew medevac helicopters for 15 years.
