Let me state first, this company FINALLY paid my claim but it was after the battle. After providing every verification they requested, I was asked again and again for something else. It
Took MONTHS to get paid.

I purchased this plan in November 2019 for the entire cost of my trip. On February 20 I filed a claim on line because no one would ever pick up the phone. I stayed on line for hours. During this time I was very persistent and continued to follow up with trying to get refunds from the carriers and all vendors, was able to receive refunds on my own. However, some companies would not refund any money. I continued to try and contact C&F thru emails and by telephone and one day actually got someone on the phone who claimed to to be a supervisor. Went over everything with her and she required additional documents of which I had previously sent multiple times. I waited months for any answer. I emailed and called this person and it always went to voice mail. I left lots of messages and never received even one response.
I finally reached out to NYS Dept of Finance who licensed this company. Within days of filing a claim with the state the were sending me my settlement.
It took filing a claim t with NYS to get a refund. Too bad that they do not send you a breakdown because they did not send the entire amount. Need to threaten to go back to state until they paid in full.
Will never use this company again.

Due to covid-19 outbreaks, my trip was cancelled by the airline and resort. Travelex denied my trip interruption claim. Other than the fact that it took 3 months for them to get back to me (after multiple inquires) but I was looking for a credit towards a future trip - not necessarily a refund. Nowhere was I given that option that BTW my traveling friend who used another insurance company was offered. I will NOT be using Travelex again!!

This plan is GARBAGE, did not cover my cruise that was cancelled by the cruise line, did not cover lost air, hotels, NOTHING. Did not even offer me a credit of the premium for another future trip. Don't waste your money on this plan.

They have dragged their feet from the beginning of the claims process. I know it's COVID but my trip was in mid March, I didn't get to take it. I filed my claim in March. It's July. Still no refund for my cancel for any reason plan. Now they've pawned me off on the airline to try to get my own refund. I am thoroughly disappointed. Not sure why I even paid them for the policy if i have to do all the leg work myself. They have been fighting me every step of the way. Making me resubmit paperwork more than once. Telling me i was being "escalated" to a faster service and it's gets slower and more round about as it goes. I think they're hoping I give up on my money but I absolutely resuse. I want my money back. I'll NEVER EVER use them again and I don't recommend them to anyone else.

I purchased the plan after I made the final payment on a 32 day cruise. I wanted to protect the cost of the cruise ($70K)) in case one of our elderly parents became ill that might make us need to cancel the trip. But on the cruise, I caught an upper respiratory infection that turned into acute bronchitis. I ended up needing multiple visits to the ship’s doctor which resulted in $5400 bill. My Medicare supplement includes 80% coverage outside of the US. After I was reimbursed the 80%, I filed with Berkshire Hathaway for the remaining 20% and they covered it. I didn’t purchase the policy for the medical coverage but I sure was happy that it included it. It’s coverage was secondary because I did not purchase the policy when I made my initial deposit. Filing was straight forward via their website.
They have a checklist of all documentation required so there was no communication needed after I sent in the package. It did take a couple of months for reimbursement as I filed during Covid-19 pandemic.
I plan to use this company for all future travel that I want to insure. Their price for coverage was much less than that offered by the cruise line. Next time I plan to purchase it when I make my initial trip deposit.
I feel confident in purchasing from this company and highly recommend it.

Took nine months to get the claim settled with constant requests for additional medical documentation. I had a total knee replacement. Heard nothing from C&F from January thru May.
The real result came after an Insure My Trip customer advocate assisted me in getting C & F to respond to my claim. Within 3 weeks I had my claim settled. Thank you IMT for the great service.

Obviously the insurance companies are overwhelmed, but there was absolutely no way that I could contact AIG to ask a simple question. I filed the claim online but all of the forms asked for a claim number. Finally I decided to file without a claim number only to discover that the number is assigned only after all of the electronic documents are uploaded. This could have been easily handled by the customer care team, but after two weeks I still have no answer.
The claim was finally settled but my assessment remains the same. The company should have updated the website that assured me that my inquiry would be answered promptly. This expectation caused at least a week of unnecessary delay.

My wife broke her arm in India. I called the company from India...they were unhelpful and wanted me to complete forms! That was ridiculous...how do you complete forms from India.

Thank you for your feedback.

"We empathize with the unfortunate situation that occurred to your wife during your trip to India and we hope she has recovered well. We contacted our Claim Administrator, Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance Company, and we are happy to hear that your claim was deemed payable, and that payment was issued in July.
We would like to take this opportunity to clarify how On Call International, Travelex’s travel assistance company, offers assistance for medical emergencies that present themselves on a covered trip. On Call’s medical case process requires all patients to be evaluated by a treating physician and to have the medical information reviewed by On Call’s Medical Team to help ensure patient’s safety, in order to assist the traveler. On Call’s Medical Team specializes in flight physiology and follows guidelines set forth by the International Air Medical Transport Association and the Aerospace Medical Association to determine a patient’s fit to fly status as patient’s conditions may change at elevation. While the medical case management and fit to fly approval process can seem overwhelming, the process is important to ensure a patient is safe enough to travel home. "Sep 10,2020

Had to cancel my trip for a surgical procedure. Contacting them was pretty painless and all of the follows were prompt. Instructions were pretty straight forward. Did have to submit additional than what I originally submitted but it made sense and was pretty easy to get. Took a bit longer to process because of Covid but overall excellent experience and I will absolutely purchase another policy from them.
