    I have just started the claims process. The person I spoke on the phone was helpful in terms of beginning the process. I am waiting to see how long it takes,

    My wife could not accompany me on our flight/trip to Germany due to medical reasons. Travelex said that I have to show expenses occurred because of her unable to go. Since we were able to "bank" her Delta Airlines miles until May 2024, there was no immediate reimbursement. This puts a burden on us to travel again and I think Travelex should reimburse us for her not being able to fly.

    Are there any trip insurance companies you represent that are more responsive to this type situation?

    I doubt that I will ever use Travelex again. I used them in the past on a trip where I made a claim and it was like using forensic accounting to get reimbursed.

    Travelex responded positively after Squaremouth intercession.

    I developed COVID shortly before my scheduled trip departure and had to cancel a nonrefundable trip. I reached out via telephone to initiate a claim. Had I not spoken directly to a representative as soon as I became ill, I would not have known of the requirement to have a COVID test performed at a testing facility since that detail was not mentioned anywhere, and I would not have had an official test result since I tested positive at home. In the current status of the pandemic, requiring a facility test vs home test is asking a lot. It was hard to find a site to get it done and I was quite sick and had no one to assist me. I was exposed to a lot of sick people coughing a lot during the hours' long wait to get the test, which made no change to my care. Perhaps a rethinking of policies and an upfront notification that if claim is due to COVID, an official test result is required, might be in order.

    Review Updated: 11/13/2023

    Overall quite smooth. My only issue is that I had to cancel because I caught COVID. When I called to initiate the claim, and in the paperwork I received, it was not clear that I needed a test result from an independent lab (as opposed to my at home test). Had this not become clear during my discussion, I would never have gotten the test and my claim would likely have been denied. This bit of information needs to be made much clearer as most folks only do at home tests, unless hospitalized.

    Thank you for reaching out to us Squaremouth.com. Travelex Insurance Services (“Travelex Insurance”) makes every effort to review all concerns.

    Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance Company (“BHSIC”) is the underwriter and claim administrator for the policy you purchased. Travelex Insurance does not make claim determinations. The Travel Select policy you purchased does state for Trip Cancellation, Trip Interruption and Medical claim types, all must be certified by a physician.

    It is important to remember that insurance is highly regulated, and all claims are determined based on the required documentation submitted and the policy details for the policy you purchased. However, we have provided your recommendation to BHSIC for consideration.

    Thank you again for reaching out to us.

    Sincerely,
    Travelex Insurance Services, Inc.

    Policy would be more helpful if there were a clear descriptive summary of what documents are required and why when filing a claim. Also, it would have been useful to know that you require a medical document signed by physician specifying diagnosis. This is difficult to get in an Emergeny Room visit.

    Lots of paperwork required to submit a claim. I did everything as required. The claim has been partially paid. I called and sent an email to remind them about other receipts that had been submitted, which were apparently overlooked. So far no answer.

    Review Updated: 08/30/2023

    Eventually I received what I thought I was due for the delayed baggage claim. The process was very cumbersome and time-consuming. It took me a while to figure out how to submit the claim online. Then I had to fill out detailed forms, upload receipts, and wait for a response. Eventually I got an automated email saying they had processed a small amount and deposited it in my PayPal. I realized they had not processed the two biggest receipts so I had to contact them again. I called the provided phone number and after being on hold for some time, the person who answered was no help and told me to email them instead. I sent the email, attached the other receipts again, and eventually got an automated message that they had been processed. It was a lot of work for a $325 claims payment.

    We had to cancel our trip when my husband was injured and unable to travel. The customer service rep for the insurance was pleasant, helpful and competent. She explained the claim process clearly and emailed the required forms and instructions. The instructions provided a clear, bullet point list of the required documentation and the form was straightforward. The company communicated by email, acknowledging receipt of our claim and then receipt of the documents, setting a 15 day review period. Our claim was actually paid in 10 days.
