Fortunately, we did not have to use plan so I can't really testify how good it was. Hopefully, if we did have to use plan it would have provided all the protection it said it would.

We had bought ferry tkt to travel between islands in Greece. The day of travel the ferries went on strike. Generali reimbursed us for the expensive airfare we had to buy to get off the island.
The reimbursed us for taxi fares even though we had no receipts from the drivers.
Paid for a meal for which we had a receipt. Not knowing if we were going to reimbursed for our loss we stayed at an inexpensive hotel overnight which they reimbursed as well. They do not give daily allowance or for bags delayed unless you go buy clothes as our bags did not come with our flight.
I still rate them highly for their quick response to claim submitted received payment in 2 weeks.

I had to replace my wife with my son prior to the trip. While it was somewhat tedious, I was able to remove my wife from our policy and take out a new policy for my son. The net cost was lower due to the reduction in age. The rep at the company was very helpful.

Recommend that you read the fine print on each policy, especially if you're comparing plans. There's is a different interpretation of conditions that will be classified for the policy to pay out for specific coverage. For example "trip disruption" vs "trip delay" is interpreted differently by each insurer, as a result, you may get a payout for the trip delay instead of trip disruption (big difference in the amount paid) and it's totally different between each company what is actually covered by the policy, or you may not get payout at all depending on the circumstance that caused "condition" to occur.

We didn't need to use the plan we purchased (thank goodness). But, I was pleased with the purchase process and thought that the coverage was good, should we had to use it.

Because I did NOT have to use the plan, I have no basis on which to evaluate it but I was glad to have it.

My wife fell and injured herself on the way to the airport for our trip. She needed to be hospitalized and so we were unable to make the trip. The injury was covered under the plan and we were eventually paid. To get paid, we had to get doctor's reports and validation of rentals paid directly from the owner of the property even though I had paperwork indicating that the payments I had made were non-refundable. We did get reimbursed, but it took a while. We were glad we had taken out the policy.

I was shocked to find out our airline delay due to TSA at a connecting airport was not a covered feature. Fortunately, Turkish Airlines re wrote out ticket even though it was not their fault of a missed connection. They were going to charge us $6000 each for a one way ticket from Istanbul to LAX. We were under the impression that this would be a covered feature.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to learn of the unfortunate event that occurred during your trip. Unfortunately, no Comprehensive plan will cover a TSA delay as that is not considered a Common Carrier delay. We are pleased to hear that the airline did help you in that instance.
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. Please call us at 800-487-4722 if you have any questions or concerns.Jun 25,2018

We sailed trans Atlantic with the plan to get off the ship in Le Havre, France and proceed to Paris. Due to weather, the ship diverted to Southampton, England. The ship transported us to London, Heathrow, but we were on our own from there. We had already purchased train tickets from Le Havre to Paris. We notifies Generali of the situation and filed a claim upon return to US. Generali Global reimbursed us for our travel from Heathrow to our Paris hotel. Our entire claim was reimbursed 100% including a charge I had to visit the ship's doctor while on board. I have since purchased additional Generali policies for our next trip. Our claims agent Ricardo Romero did a great job. I have purchased several Generali and GSA policies over the years, but this was the first claim I had to make and so glad we purchased insurance. Don't leave home without it.

Travel insurance plans are "named peril" policies which means only those perils/hazards that are specifically listed in the policy are covered. In addition, all plans have their "exclusions and limitations" which may effect your coverage. Since policy terms and conditions vary from plan to plan and are also state-specific, this does create discrepancies in coverage between plans.
We recommend that you review the policy terms and conditions prior to purchase by clicking on "View Certificate", this can be a long and frustrating process given the number of offered plans, so we encourage you to call us at 800-487-4722 for assistance. Also, if the policy does not fit your needs, it can be cancelled within the review period for a refund of premium.
