just glad we did not need to use this plan - especially with everything going on with corona virus.

I purchased a plan on January 29th, but after the initial coronavirus outbreak at the end of February, and prior to any quarantines in Italy, we rebooked our planned trip to go to a destination outside of Europe. Every hotel and the airlines provided immediate support - but I could not get in contact with Generali for over two weeks. I tried phone calls (where I was told there would be call backs within 3 hours) and emails (with no responses). Even InsureMyTrip could not get a response from Generali (on at least 5 different attempts through our March 6 departure). I ended up buying a backup emergency evacuation plan from another vendor on March 6 because "it was too late to duplicate the original plan with another vendor because of the timing of our new departure." I finally heard from Generali with a revision confirmation letter on March 9 "confirming our policy" with no evidence of the actual destination. Because of this experience, I feel it necessary to avoid Generali for all intents and purposes in the future.

I have tried calling but your lines are busy due to the pandemic, I understand. But I would like to speak to someone to confirm what would have been covered or not covered under my policy if I had to cancel mid trip.
Coverage and satisfaction are place holders until I hear response.
Thanks

Thankfully, I did not need to use the insurance. Comfort knowing it was there, just in case.

The only issue we had was in making contact with an agent before departure to verbally confirm coverage. We waited and waited to talk to someone but was never connected. Fortunately, we were not affected by travel restrictions that could have involved our insurance coverage. Was very appreciative of the recorded coronavirus message at the start of each call. The only problem was that we were unable to talk with a representative.

There were no issues during the trip, so did not have to file a claim. Review based on the ease of choosing a policy and peace of mind.

Too much money for too specific coverage for too short a time.

You guys covered nothing that was important. You had to be in the hospital in critical condition or dead for your company to pay out anything. The Cronovirus was not covered because of the latest status. What good was it. I just got ripped off over a very poor choice of mine. NEVER AGAIN....

"We’re sorry the coverage didn’t meet your expectation. As stated in our policy documents, our plans only reimburse for non-refundable, pre-paid trip costs if you need to cancel your trip for a covered reason. Generali Global Assistance plans do not offer coverage if you cancel your trip due to fear of traveling due to Coronavirus, unless you added Trip Cancellation for Any Reason coverage. It is important that you review your Description of Coverage, which are available before and after your purchase. We take the claims process very seriously and want our customers to make informed choices when purchasing travel insurance."

Having no claim makes rating the coverage and service from General mute. But having coverage does give assurance of protecting the family from unlikely but possible expensive medical expenses.

My only complaint is that when I tried to file a claim for delayed trip, I was put on hold for over an hour. I finally received a call back the day after and now my policy is expired. My flight got cancelled and when it was rescheduled I had to go to a different airport..that being said I had to take my rental car to the original airport and get an uber to drive us to LAX from Long Beach Airport. I believe I should have been reimbursed for the uber expense since it was due to the cancelled flight and change of airports by Southwest Airlines.
