Reviews, Sales, and Service Ratings for
Travelex Insurance Services

The purchase of the insurance was simple and quick via the website. After purchasing the policy I was not certain of my travel dates and called TravelEx directly and told me that would not be a problem to change if necessary even though I had already bought the policy. The person on the line was very professional and confident.

I liked the policy I selected primarily for its medical coverage with the option to double it. The second thing I liked was the repatriation part. These two were the most important to me. Critical especially if you are going to non-developed countries like SE Asia. The other portions of the policy are nice to have.

I would certainly recommend this policy to others. Not many travel policies include medical insurance and repatriation coverage from what I could see.

Thank you for taking the time to post!

We appreciate the excellent rating.

We are glad to hear that our website was easy to use and navigate, and that our Customer Solutions Representative was able to help answer all your questions.

We hope you will think of Travelex the next time you are looking to insure your travel!

Thanks again and have a wonderful day!

Travelex paid the full amount of my claim since the company boat we booked for antarctica went bankrupt. We did not travel and I lost about 4500.00 dollars with the cost of insurance.

Easy and straightforward.

I tried filing a claim on line. I could not get a claim number to start the process. So I had a chat on line with a rep of yours. His name was Steve Benna, he tried so hard to help me my I could not get a Claim number from you. So In the next couple of days I will try and file again. But it would be nice if you could e-mail me a Claim number to file with. Thank You, Thomas. M. Mc Anally

So far I've been very disappointed with the claims process with Travelex. After documents are uploaded there's no way to manage what you submitted or review to make sure you included everything. If you're filing a claim with multiple pieces of material it just makes for a cumbersome process since you can't see what you submitted.

I have also been relatively unimpressed with the responsiveness of Travelex. I was asked to submit additional material for my claim (some of which I believe was already provided in the initial claim) and when I had a follow up question regarding the material I was asked to provide it took Travelex a week for them to answer my question.

Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns on Squaremouth.

We are happy to hear that you have been in touch with our Claim Administrator, Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance Company, earlier today and were able to provide the additional documentation. We will also provide your concerns about the online claim process, to the appropriate department.

It is important to remember that insurance is highly regulated, and claim documentation, such as itineraries, are an important part of the process as they relate to the policy details, on the policy purchased.

If you have any additional questions you can contact the Claim Administrator directly at 1-855-205-6054, Monday – Friday, 7:00am – 7:00pm CST.

The process was fairly consumer friendly. Inquiries at this time are so delayed that one could not reach customer service. I fear that a claim, none planned incidentally for this trip, might face the same delays. The corona virus is certainly a factor, but then how companies face crises is the true measure of their competency under pressure, isn't it?

Thank you for reaching out to us on Squaremouth.

Due to concerns about Coronavirus, all companies in the travel insurance industry are experiencing higher than normal call volumes, which has resulted in longer hold times. Should you still have additional questions about your policy, you may also contact our Customer Solutions department via email at CustomerSolutions@TravelexInsurance.com.

While we hope that your trip goes smoothly, in the event that you would need to file a claim, our Claim Administrator, Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance Company is currently adjudicating all claims within their goal of 15 business days, from the time they receive all the required documentation.

Thank you again, and we hope you think of Travelex the next time you travel.

Excellent customer service

I was specifically looking for coverage for travel delay due to weather and it took some digging to get clear information about this.
