See how Travelex Insurance Services compares to other providers on Squaremouth in customer satisfaction and service quality:
*The overall customer rating is the average of all reviews for the provider since they joined the marketplace.
Travelex customers often praise the helpful and easily accessible customer service. However, some travelers feel the provider could offer more updates during the claims process, and that reimbursements can take longer than expected.
Purchasing the policy was fairly easy, though not 5 stars - a little difficult to sort out which policy to get and the differences between them. The low rating for the claim process is that we had a piece of luggage damaged during the trip to the point where it was unusable, but both the airline and the additional insurance company wanted a receipt from the original luggage purchase. The suitcase was a $1440 item but was over 10 years old. Instead of replacing it with an equivalent, we replaced it with a piece of luggage under $150, and had a receipt for that. Neither the airline nor the additional insurance would complete our claim without the original receipt from the old luggage. We could not locate the receipt for luggage that was that old. Even though it was over 10 years old, the luggage was in good shape and very functional until damaged by the airline. We were reasonable in just asking to cover the costs of a minimal replacement just so we had functional luggage and even that was not possible to complete the claim. It is disappointing to pay hundreds of dollars for insurance and then have no way to make a claim should you actually need it, as we did. The only reason it wasn't just 1 star was because the initial claim process was easy. But the results were a 0.

Travelex insurance Services help me thru the whole process of filing my claim.
My flight got cancelled due to bad weather and my trip extended another 3 days in Exuma, Bahamas leaving me and my family stranded and looking for a place to stay. With no way off the island and every hotel completely booked they found us a rental house and car to get us thru a bad situation. I would highly recommend this company.

Our 5 checked bags were delayed for 5 days upon returning back to IAD ( airport 2 hours from our home) due to an issue with cargo hold area on the plane bags were left behind. Our trip started on 7/20 and needed on 8/7. Received luggage on 8/12. Rep informed me no compensation due to it being the return leg of our trip. Why would basic necessities not be comped? We had no underwear, socks, bras as we had been gone for almost 3 weeks. I had to go buy some. A stipend amount should cover a few items.

The instructions for filing a claim were very clear and straightforward, and I like being able to scan and submit everything online instead of having to provide hard copies. The response time (within 1 business week) was very quick too.
It was very simple to file the claim online. I wrote an explanation and uploaded it with documentation of the travel delay and expenses incurred. I chose to receive a check which arrived within a week.

Squaremouth was a seamless purchasing experience. I ran into issues when I cancelled my refundable flight. I got in touch with Travelex who wanted an original receipt and the refund amounts. The airline I was dealing with did have a refundable receipt for the travel part of the flight. The seat upgrades were refunded but they could not provide a receipt for that. Travelex in turn would not refund or even give a prorated amount. They wanted to provide a credit for a future insured trip. I would not have minded a percentage refund but they were a bit difficult to work with and I have zero refund. I would think twice before insuring with Travelex.
