Even though we did not have to use this plan, we got it for piece of mind in case we needed to use it. It was a reasonable price for a just in case scenario. Would purchase again.

We have taken out similiar policies underwitten by the same insurer to this one on many trips in the past, including experiencing an earthquake and it's aftermath in January 2020.
Though we suffered no losses nor delays the folks at CSA were constantly in touch with us to ensure all was well and proactively offered assistance if needed.

File a claim when cruise cancelled, no response for over a month. Emailed and quickly told not covered due to virus not being a covered reason. I think they could be a little more understanding in this time.
Had a voucher from the insurance company, called them and made changes on 1/11/2021, was due a refund, on 1/18/2021 called your customer service and was told they had no record and the refund had to come from the insurance company. The rep was very rude, especially when I told her the charge on my credit card was from Insuremytrip.com, she that is not correct and she didn't know anything about it. She said no supervisor was working and supposedly will call me back sometime.

I am very happy to say that although it took a while for resolution to my claim, I did get a completely fair and just solution to my claim. I do understand with the Covid pandemic that delays are not unusual and understandable but nonetheless great customer service revolves on addressing consumer concerns which definitely was done. I would recommend both InsureMyTrip and Generali Global Assistance Insurance wholeheartedly and not hesitate to tell my family and friends this and look forward to using again once worldwidetravel becomes more available and safe. Thanks again for listening and acting positively on my claim.

According to your policy I was suppose to be reimbursed for cost of cancellation that was not reimbursed. Read your policy. Your company apologized after months of ignoring promised me a credit to my card then never did. .Jan 06,2022-

We filed a claim on 3/21/20. My husband hurt his back and was not able to travel to Chile as planned. We got an email on 3/30/20 that we would get another email when our claim person was assigned. We haven't heard anything since. We tried calling and you get an answering machine. I realize they have a lot of claims due to Covid but ours isn't and it is 6 weeks and they said they would respond in 30 days. We are very disappointed. We have bought trip insurance for years and this is the first time we had to use it.

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
