We happened to be in Madagascar when there was civil unrest with demonstrations in the streets of Tana that resulted in at least one death. There were also organized and spontaneous strikes by various groups of workers.
We were on an organized trip with an itinerary. Minutes before one flight, it and 2 others due to leave Tana at the same time were cancelled. We saw the crews of the 3 planes walking together to the terminal, talking to each other. It seemed clear to us that they had decided to strike. The result was that we could not reach our destination that night and no flight was scheduled for the next day. We had to return to our hotel and charter a plane the next day to resume our itinerary at our cost (approximately $1000).
We put in a claim to Generali Global Assistance with newspaper evidence of the unrest in the country at the time we were there. They rejected our claim because the trip interruption was not caused by an organized strike. They also cited an exclusion to Trip Interruption: civil disorder.
We were the victims of an arbitrary flight cancellation by Air Madagascar which gave the reason for the cancellation as "shortage of personnel". This cancellation, which was beyond our control, was why we took out a policy that included Trip Interruption.

Fortunately we completed our trip without incident and did not need to use the insurance so we cannot rate the plan, but can comment on the high cost. It is a universal challenge. There should be some type of a rebate when you do not make a claim.

The terms and conditions as well as pricing of travel insurance is regulated by the state insurance commissioner which is a state-level position in all 50 states. The duties of the commissioner vary from state to state, but their general role is as a consumer protection advocate and insurance regulator. There is also a state department of insurance that is responsible for regulating companies and producers selling insurance in to insure that they obey state insurance laws.
Although travel insurance regulations value from state to state, travel insurance rebates are not currently available in any state.Nov 21,2018

Cannot rate the coverage as we did not use it - difficult to prove a negative.
Some solace or comfort for that rare eventuality that it would be needed.
Application and purchase process was smooth and easy.
Most likely would not buy again for similar trip.

since I didn't fill a claim, I find it difficult to review.

We paid over $1000 for a premium policy, then when my wife fractured her foot and we needed to incur cancellation expenses for some of our aggressive trip activities, we discovered you don't cover that situation. I haven't used trip insurance in the past and this taught me that it's still not worth it. I'll save a couple thousand a year in trip insurance costs, take my chances, and save money over the long run.

We did follow up with Generali who advised that you did not file a
claim but called to inquire about reimbursement for two nights of hotel
accommodations and taxi expenses to get you from one place to another while your three companions were hiking. However, these would not be covered expenses under your Travel Delay coverage since the cause of the additional expenses were for an injury sustained prior to coverage which began on your date of departure.
Generali did suggest that you may still wish to submit a claim for reimburse-ment of any prepaid non-refundable travel expenses. Please call the Generali claims department at (800) 541-3522 for additional information.Nov 30,2018

I’ve used InsureMyTrip before and have always been pleased with their service. I did have problems my last two trips getting the website to complete transaction, but it was easy to call and the person I spoke to was very helpful.
My one suggestion would be to include a plan that covers animal emergencies too. I have a 13 year old service dog and would gladly pay to know her trip was also properly insured too.

Comprehensive plans are designed to cover as many risks as possible, but is very rare for any insurance plan to cover all possible risks. Civil unrest is a typical exclusion on any Comprehensive plan. In fact, that event would not covered under normal Trip Interruption with any company that we represent. Some of the plans that we offer include "Interruption for Any Reason" for 75% reimbursement as long as you have been on your trip for at least 48-72 hours. For more information about these plans, please call us at InsureMyTrip.
We strongly recommend customers read the terms and conditions of the policy within the review period to determine if the policy fits your needs. If the policy does not fit your needs, it can be cancelled within the review period for a refund of premium. We can be reached at 800-487-4722 if you have any questions or concerns.
