The point of insurance is you pay for it and hope you never need it. We did not but were thankful we had it!

Fortunately, we did not need to use the insurance. It is a comfort to know that it is there in case we do.

On a previous cruise we used the insurance which was worked well for us. The process was easy to file for a medical bill for my husband. The claim was quickly paid.

Couple days before I went to Barcelona, the city erupted in demonstrations. Airport shut down. Roads shut down. Mass demonstrations. Many people injured. Wanted to cancel the trip, but HTH says that is not a covered event.
So I went. First night, mass demonstration couple blocks from my hotel got out of hand. Barricades burning in the street in front of the hotel, and anti-tourist graffiti spray painted on the hotel's front door. Parked cars torched on the street around the corner.
Couple days later, general strike and over 500,000 demonstrators in the streets. Metro, buses, tourist sights (Sagrada Familia), and most stores shut down.
Every day, demonstrations somewhere turning violent. TV news showing molotov cocktails being thrown at the police and all the rest of the chaos.
But that is not a covered reason to cancel. Just...Have a nice vacation.

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you made it home safely. Unfortunately, civil unrest is not a covered reason to cancel your trip in any travel insurance plan. Civil unrest is not included in the definition of a "Terrorist Incident (which) means an incident deemed a terrorist act by the United States Government that causes property damage or loss of life."
In order to have coverage for cancelling this trip, you would have needed to purchase the optional Cancel for Any Reason coverage.Nov 05,2019

basis for claim was within coverage time. Solution fell outside the original time frame. The adjustor and I had different interpretations about the flexibility of the policy. She won, I did not push.

Thank you for your feedback. However, it is true that not only must the claim have occurred during the policy term, the additional expense must also be incurred during that coverage term. A good example is a traveler waiting until returning home before seeking medical treatment for an injury that occurred during the trip. There would be no reimbursement under a travel insurance policy for medical expenses incurred once you returned home.

Sorry for the delayed response. This is what I thought: I had a normal policy. Coverage for cancellation, for covered causes, began at time of purchase. The original trip included a visit of my daughter. Her newly scheduled operation, just a few days before the starting date of my travel, required that I depart earlier than scheduled and return later (the total trip duration was 30 days).
By the time United Airlines adjusted my schedule I had to purchase the outgoing flight and use my already invested miles for the return flight.
In the pre-departure hurry I did not call you; I thought the event was covered and notification after arrival to Toronto would not affect our relations. The changes and costs were all before the original termination date of the policy; I had no claim for thet period.
I think the problem is that travel insurance policies/adjustors do not consider when the the cause of a claim is within the coverage period, but the resulting costs are incurred outside the orginal travel dates. I don't know how normal coverage can deal with situation; a little extra good will might have helped.
I had no time to think this through and took your agen's word. Under calmer conditions I probably would have engaged in a more substantive debate.
This is how I see it now. The technicality of "late reporting" could have been overlooked and the claim handled with a more open mind. What if I'd had the presence of mind to call you before I made the flight changes? It would have not altered any of the relevant facts.
That's it. What do you think?Nov 14,2019

I'm very sorry for the delay in replying to your question. Travel insurance policies are very specific and determine payment based on the plans terms and conditions.Dec 13,2019-

That's OK. I'm late, too. In any case, this was a closed case with the insurance company, inasmuch as I elected not to pursue the matter. Since the situation is not likely (I hope) to happen again, I won't pursue it as an academic matter. You are right, even the best-looking policy needs to be scrutinized before finalk acceptance. What happened is simply not something antoicipated by the creators of the text, the agents could not lean towards the "benefit the customer" direction. Soo . . Have a nice holiday season.Dec 15,2019
