Luckily, did not have to use this policy, but glad I had it! Came close to having to cancel trip due to health issues, so was glad that I purchased.

Didnt have to make a claim but felt so comfortable with the coverage I had no apprehension that I would be taken care of in the event something should happen.

The good news is we did not experience any problems at all on our trip last month to South America so no need to file a claim - Thank You! This said my only contact with IMG was an e-mail of which I printed off a cover page. Call me old school but I would think for a $1000+ we could have at least received a insurance card by mail if nothing to save our printer ink to put in our wallet such as you get from most other insurance companies i.e. State Farm or even Medicare - KH

I visited a doctor in Japan and got medication. The entire cost of the visit was less than my premium. I filled out the claim form with all the requested information, which includes a form (in the same PDF) for authorizing communication via email (note: their only communication options are email and postal mail). Their initial response came 8 days later and was to send proof I was in Japan (and would be leaving) and that I did not fill out the electronic communication waiver (what?). I replied the same day with the waiver attached and flight details.
After that I didn't hear anything from them, not even a confirmation, until I asked about it 1 month from my initial claim. 5 days later I received in postal mail an EOB that said my claim was denied for lack of documentation. Then that same day or 1 days later, I received an email saying my claim was paid by check. I received the paper check 1 week later.
Overall, I think the communication and claim process was subpar. The claim form was a non-fillable PDF that I annotated over so I didn't have to print it out and scan it. The process seems like it's designed to be difficult to use.
They don't give you any guidance on how to handle foreign languages or currencies so I had to just submit and hope they did translation/conversions (seemed to work).
The fact that they ignored their own waiver form to send me an identical waiver form and fill out again was very annoying, and the lack of communication overall really didn't sit well with me.
I can't imagine what it would have been like trying to communicate with them if I'd had anything complicated happen.

Thank you for your feedback. Even though your claim may be less than your policy premium, insurance providers still require specific documents to pay your claim. We are pleased to hear that your claim was quickly settled.Dec 31,2019-

Yes, I'm aware of the document requirement. I sent all the documents requested with the initial claim except for the airline confirmation (because it there was no indication that was needed beforehand, another example of the poor guidance on submitting a claim).
Please note that the main point of my review was slow and unclear communication. The claim was not "quickly" settled, it was settled slowly and with conflicting information, and a > 1 month period of time with no response from the company.Dec 31,2019

I had additional charges over the months preceding the actual trip and adding these charges for additional premium was like pulling teeth. There was no easy way to do it as I recall. No number to call; very trying time; got told the wrong premium then adjusted up, etc etc Bad scene.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the difficulties you encountered when amending your policy. Apparently the policy was purchased with an incorrect departure date which was corrected when you called to increase your total trip cost. This issue was easy to correct but required additional documentation. We appreciate your patience and cooperation in providing the necessary information.Dec 31,2019

I had an awesome experience with Travelex Insurance. I actually needed to move my trip because my husband was unable to get off for Christmas so the only thing the company needed from him was a letter from his boss saying that he was not giving him Christmas off due to operational needs. I submitted this to them as well as proof of purchase of my trip on my credit card and they refunded me the entire trip. Sent it straight to my paypal account. I used that money to book the trip for thanksgiving instead. The company is easy to deal with and I just purchased travel insurance again for my trip to UAE!

Thankfully I had no use for it on this trip. However, insurance provides great peace of mind and is a must have for anyone traveling.
