I appreciate knowing that advance medical payments came with this plan. It's one of the most important things a person should get when traveling. I've read all the horror stories online of people who went to the hospital, only to have their passports confiscated until they could pay 10's of thousands of dollars in healthcare IN ADVANCE. Your medical insurance won't pay until AFTER you are out of the hospital, so advance payments are a MUST when it comes to travel insurance.

The plan is only valuable for catastrophic medical, since the cancelled flights and hotel rooms appear to not be covered since there was a bombing within a month of our trip, and we did not know to book the travel plan within 10 days of original booking. With war/acts of war, our trip to Istanbul was non refundable, so the plan was worthless to us. Going forward, I would do medical and not trip insurance. We are trying to get our money back, but not much help via AXA.

We had lost luggage for 10 days. Turns out that they like to collect premiums but don't really like to pay claims.

Thank you for your comment.
Upon receipt of your review, we did contact AXA Assistance USA claims department who advised that you did call AXA claims because you had a baggage delay. However, you did not wish to provide supporting documentation so you decided that you would not file the claim. Of course, we respect your decision not to proceed with your claim but supporting documentation is a necessary requirement when filing a claim with any insurance carrier.
Once again, thank you for your review. Should you change your mind and wish to report the claim, please contact the AXA claims department.Aug 02,2016

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.

My flight with my two grandchildren was delayed first 4 then 5 hours. I called April to see if we were covered in any way for food, change of flight or in case of further delay etc. I was given another number to call three different times and transferred once. I gave up it was taking to much time calling and being put on hold. I had two children with me. When we came home from our vacation about four days later a call came from April. A voice mail said, I'm calling regarding some problems you had in your travel. I'll be sending you a claim form. We're looking forward to hearing from you. They didn't hear from me and never will again. I had my flight changed and flew into another airport since they weren't even sure it would be only five hours. April was of NO help whatsoever.

Fortunately did not need to use insurance so I can't comment on real value.

The last leg of my flight from London was cancelled because someone set fire in air traffic control center at OHare. I was stranded overnight in Chicago with many others and couldn't get rental car home til the next morning when my rescheduled flight was also canceled. CSA refused to cover rental (even though United Airlines would not pay) because they said it was not a mechanical breakdown of aircraft or terrorist incident. InsureMyTrip.com rep said even though it was not technically covered, "I couldn't imagine the insurance companies we represent to not offer some sort of compensation or assistance." CSA std response is get a plan to fit your needs, but they couldn't tell me any plan that would cover my situation. What good is insurance if it won't cover that?

"We’re sorry to hear about the circumstances surrounding your claim. We take reviewing and responding to claims very seriously. We want customers to understand the coverage details of our plans and strongly recommend they review a sample Description of Coverage/Insurance Policy that is provided at purchase. We also offer a free look back period with all of our plans to allow customers to cancel their policies within a designated period as long as they haven't already left on their trip or filed a claim.

Thank you for your feedback on the policy. We are sorry to learn of the unfortunate event that occurred during your trip. Acting as your advocate, InsureMyTrip contacted CSA Travel Protection's claims department to assist you with the claim that went unpaid. The representatives at CSA Travel Protection informed us that the claims were adjudicated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the policy.

Custom plan is a Comprehensive plan which covers a wide range of perils and hazards for Travel Delay and Trip Interruption. Unfortunately, it was determined that the event that interrupted your trip did not fall within the scope of Trip Interruption for this specific plan.

Due to an accident, we had to cancel part of our trip. We were reimbursed for flights we had to cancel and change. The process was painless.

Didn't need it, but was very glad to have it. It was easy and reasonably priced.

Unfortunately, you purchased this policy on July 2nd for a terrorist attack that occurred at the Budapest Airport on June 28th. In order for this event to have been covered under your AXA policy, the terrorist incident should have occurred after you purchased the policy.
We certainly understand your frustration upon finding that you had no coverage. Perhaps in the future, you will consider calling InsureMyTrip for quotes immediately after making your Initial Trip Payment to ensure that your policy includes coverage for future events.
