We were glad to have the protections of this plan, but even happier we did not need to use it.

Having trip coverage certainly helps you focus on the important things like enjoying the travel experience and destination.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide coverage for you and hope you will consider AXA Assistance USA for future travels.

I had a near disaster experience with my trip being canceled by one of the sponsors. In the future, I would seriously look at the option for cancellation for any reason. Thankfully I was able to complete my trip with the tour guide and completed the trip without any adverse experiences.

Thank you for providing feedback on this policy.
It is true that there are some situations that would require the additional coverage of Cancel For Any Reason. This is one situation that Trip Cancellation for a covered reason would not protect against.
There are 3 conditions that must be met to purchase a Cancel For Any Reason Rider as follows: Purchase the policy within 10 - 21 days of First Trip Payment; Insure ALL prepaid and non-refundable travel expenses prior to departure; Trip arrangements must be canceled more than 48 -72 hours prior to the departure date. If you meet all 3 of these conditions, most of the policies will reimburse you 75% of your trip costs, unless otherwise noted.
In the future, please feel free to contact us directly at 1-800-487-4722 when looking for your next policy. Our licensed representatives can assist in finding you an appropriate policy for your trip. We are available 7 days a week.Oct 27,2017

We purchased AXA insurance for a European Trip that included a Baltic cruise. All went well until we returned to the States thru NYC. They had issues going on and were cancelling flights due to "congestion". Eventually our flight was cancelled. We immediately reported it to insurance 8/02 and was advised to get statement from Airline of reason for cancellation. The statement on our paperwork said a/c maintenance so the Airline was responsible for our room (or so we thought). A day and a half after we were to arrive home we did. We worked for 2.5 weeks to get airlines to pay portion and then submitted to insurance everything airline did not reimburse. Insurance did nothing until I called to check on status 2 weeks after submission. They sent us a letter asking for more documentation about hotel room and airport parking for the 1 extra day we submitted. We submitted again and 3 weeks later had not heard a thing. Contacted insurance again and was apologized to- it was put on hold. Finally received full payment requested 2 months after submitting. IF YOU BUY AND HAVE TO USE CALL FREQUENTLY AND STAY ON TOP OF THEM. Nothing was done until after each phone call and believe me they say call to check on status- it appeared they do not want you calling to check on status because nothing has been done until you call. Keep every receipt and document otherwise you will never get your refund, Frustrating experience if you have to use insurance.

Thank you for your detailed comments which we brought to the attention of the AXA Assistance USA claims department. You are correct in advising your fellow travelers to request and save all receipts which are necessary documents for reimbursement in a claim. It is also disappointing to hear that you were not contacted on a regular basis by the AXA claims department.
In the future, please remember that InsureMyTrip does offer our Unparalleled Customer Service:
"We are open and honest with every traveler, because our non-commissioned representatives work to find the best plan for you. Our “Anytime Advocates†will support you with the process if you feel a claim has been unfairly denied." We will also be happy to assist if you do not hear from the claims department within 30 days or need assistance in working with your claim representative. You can call Customer Service at (800) 487-4722 to request an advocate. We are available weekdays from 7:00 AM - midnight ET and weekends 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM ET.Nov 01,2017

We had to cancel our trip due to medical issue. It took them a little over thirty days to review claim and then request additional information/documentation. When I emailed twice for an explanation of why this was needed, I never received a response. I did procure the documentation requested anyway and submitted. We finally received a refund of all of our trip related expenses almost 2 months after submitting claim. So we were made whole, but customer service was wanting.

Fortunately I didn't have to make a claim. So I really can't judge how good a company you are without experiencing how well you would handle my claim. I chose your company based on your rating and reviews of other customers. The cost of my policy was very fair for the coverage l chose.

It's hard to know if a plan is as good as it looks until a claim needs to be filed, which hasn't happened to us yet. But I have compared prices for the plans with what is essential to me, and the AXA Gold plan is the one we get each time, partly because of the way it defines family members to include in-laws. We have saved money over the plans that are offered through the tour companies, usually.

We didn't need to use it, so I cannot say if the coverage was adequate. BUT, it did allow us to feel more comfortable in that we would be protected if we did need to cancel. It was very expensive, though.

We have always had a good experience with Insuremytrip, but then thankfully, we have never
had to make a claim and of course, that's when we find out if our insurance is any good.
