TravelSafe

I spoke to several reps before my trip. All very patient, knowledgeable about the different policies. Very patient and seemed happy to help the right one that I needed.
After my trip, I called for information how to file a claim. Had made several calls to help me file the claim properly. The reps advice varied among what they each told me. I sensed some uncertainty in the answers with each rep. So after speaking with the last rep, I just mailed the papers I was told I needed. She said you would contact me if you needed any additional information. . Also, I had 2 different account numbers. So I just used the most recent form with the acct number at the top.I have not heard anything yet ???
I suppose I would use Travel Safe again but I now have a better idea of what areas I need more clarification before signing up again. It will also depends if I do get the money = replacement cost as the reps said I should without a problem.
Thank you.

Obtaining the policy was easy and I shall be using your services again. '

To early. Can give once the claim is finished.

No problems, thank goodness.

smooth transaction. There were no problems on trip so I cannot rate that.

Spoke to an actual person. Answered all my questions. Helped me find just the right insurance for my situation.

Excellent experience and the website is easy to navigate and customize coverage selections

TravelSafe customer service is absolutely amazing! While I can't comment on their claim resolution department because I have not and will not submit a claim, their 24/7 customer service department went way above and beyond to help when my girlfriend's insurance, HTH, was not available when she needed them (because they are not there 24/7). They went way out of their way to try and help us out, tried to get in touch with HTH, continously called back to give updates and follow up even after our return to the U.S. to see if she had been helped by HTH (which never happened because they couldn't be reached until after the fact...until after it was too late). I will definitely choose TravelSafe again - if they were so on top of a non-customer issue I can only imagine how wonderful they will be when a customer needs their help! Way to go!

I will be able to give you more feedback once I file the claim. I can tell you that the experience that I had with customer service on the phone about filing the claim was terse. I had an unusual situation and she was unable to give me any information at all before filing the claim, and I needed to know whether to get a refund from buying the insurance or file a claim since I didn't get a chance to go on my trip at all and she could not give me any information at all.

I don't necessarily want to file a complaint, but I do want Squaremouth and TravelSafe to know that I am disappointed at the difficulty I consistently experienced in reaching Travel Safe and their claims administrator TripMate about submitting a claim and all followup contact to determine progress of the claim. Every phone call to TripMate required a 10-15-minute wait on hold. I would say that half of the customer service personnel were unfriendly, curt, and did not volunteer information or provide anything other than a perfunctory reply. Two exceptions to this were "Sierra" and "Patrick" who were pleasant and polite.

I filed my claim with supporting documentation on March 16, and this was recorded as received by TripMate on March 22. When checking my claim status online, it was noted that a folder and label had been prepared on March 29. When I checked on April 19, no further actions were reported. I called and spoke with Sierra who told me that she didn't know why it was stalled and that she would ensure that it was expedited. She called again two days later to say that it was still in process. I made several more calls over the subsequent weeks, but the expedited claim was not settled until May 8, 2017. The settlement was for the full claim amount and I received the checks on May 13.

I'm glad to have this claim resolved satisfactorily, but I am frustrated that it took longer than anticipated and seemed to be inexplicably stalled throughout the process, even after it was flagged to be expedited. It is also frustrating to have to speak to TripMate staff over the phone who obviously hate their jobs and have no customer service skills or interest.

I have used Squaremouth to select and purchase travel insurance policies five times. I have always appreciated the service, ease of comparison, and the high ratings, and I have always felt secure in doing so. This is my only claim to date. I should clarify that I received no contact from TravelSafe before my trip.

Thank you for your review of TravelSafe.
