    KATHY from GA Verified Squaremouth Customer

    They do not pay what they should based on how I read the policy. I had a full day delay, with no baggage. I had extra expenses (additional parking at my home airport, dog kenneling, taxi to and from hotel, meals, etc. They only gave me a reimbursement for dinner. This was after making me jump through hoops sending and resending both invoices and credit card proof of payments for things that they don't reimburse. Biggest waste of $2400. Hate to think what would have happened if I had had a major issue. "Oh, you will have to eat those medical bills and that evacuation cost and sorry about that whole pirate thing and your missing limbs, but have a sandwich on us for dinner!

    Original claim request via website appeared simple and quick with request of few simple documents. However, once submitted they will request continuous bogus documents. The worse part is you do it and send it and then they say they didn’t receive!

    This is a total scam like trustpiet reviews have reported!

    Process for claim was extensive. I’m not sure if this is typical since this is my first claim.

    Jem from WI Verified Squaremouth Customer

    I was very pleasantly surprised with the claims process with Tin Leg. The customer service agent on the 24 hour hotline was extremely helpful and reassuring when I called to ask about the process. The online claim process was very straightforward. They were very communicative about the documents needed to file & process my claim, which was done mostly via email. The whole claims process took about 6 weeks, and I think it was relatively fast given that they requested additional documents in between. I am definitely buying all my travel insurance through Tin Leg from now on.

    M.S. from WA Verified Squaremouth Customer

    WE did NOT cancel our trip with IcelandAir. They cancelled our connecting flight from KEF to SEA after my husband fell in the skybridge (after exiting the plane, before reaching the building and the boarding desk).

    When I spoke with Tin Leg, Justine at customer service was kind and compassionate, but her notes in the form they sent had multiple errors. My husband fell after exiting the plane, not on the plane. I had a couple follow up questions when filling in the form. I called Tin Leg back. I had to remind Jacob 3 times to slow down, not talk so quickly. He laughed and barely slowed down at all. He cheerfully told me that Tin Leg doesn't cover flight interruption without a doctor's note (from the telephoning doctor who advised against flying without being medically checked in person first). We got a note from the doctor at urgent care. Their bill was over $600.00. We have contacted IcelandAir with the case number they gave us. We had $974.64 in expenses (medical, taxi, hotel room and meals) due to the 24-hour delay in Iceland. What good is trip insurance if it doesn't cover what it purports to cover? We've never had to file a claim before. I do not plan to use Tin Leg again, and I will tell my fellow travelers about our experience. If this claim doesn't get resolved satisfactorily, I will be contacting our state Attorney General's Consumer Protection office.

    Review Updated: 03/17/2024

    This was the first claim we've ever had against trip insurance. The first person I talked to at Tin Leg (based in Florida) was very sympathetic. She asked a lot of questions and said a claims agent would be calling me back. That did not happen. I called back and asked two specific questions. The young man on the phone laughed when he said that we needed a written note from the airline's M.D. in Iceland who my husband spoke with by phone. We did not have her name, and contact was only by phone. We did have the urgent care doctor's note helpfully printed in English, and his verbal ok to fly. We got emails from Tin Leg requesting copies of receipts, etc., which were details I had already provided. This was time-consuming and irritating. Our only contact with the claims agent was via email, which was fine. The process took a month to complete and get two checks delivered simultaneously. We are using other companies via Squaremouth for our upcoming and future trips.

    If traveling via Iceland, it may be helpful to know that the majority of taxi drivers are experienced and know the country well. Airport staff told us there was an urgent care clinic in Keflavik, about 20 minutes from the airport. Our first driver was new and did not know what we sought. We directed him to a Holiday Inn Express about 5 minutes from the airport. Volcanic activity had disrupted the geothermal plant's pipes, so there wasn't any heat (30 F outside). They were able to provide hot beverages. Our room was cozy enough. They referred us to the pharmacy in the same parking lot, whose clinicians wrote the clinic name and called a local taxi. "A Stodin" taxi drivers (ph. 354-420-1212) were superb! As were the efficient staff at the clinic. I can honestly say that the pizza parlor next to the hotel had the best pizza I've EVER eaten. They also had their own generator, so food was hot. Icelanders were so helpful and welcoming that we've added them to our next trip en route to Europe.

    Not sure wa is going on at this point believe I've absolutely sent all relevant docs. Waiting on approval of claim so I can have American Airlines cancel my credit.

    Review Updated: 03/12/2024

    Took a ton of time questions asked and answered over and over. Some even being able to be answered with a simple online Google search for airline policy.

    Wow, wow, very professional. I can’t say enough good things. They requested all the pertinent paperwork and notified us within 10 days that our claim was approved. We will use Squaremouth and Tinleg for all our future travel needs.
    Thank you
