Excellent experience with Aegis, especially the 24 hour assistance. He was able to tell us how much our policy covered for trip delay, so we could confidently make plans until our rescheduled flight. Making the claim went smoothly, but did require a lot of receipts.

Easy to understand and met my travel needs.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Patty! We're glad you found the coverage easy to understand and that it met your travel needs. We appreciate your trust and wish you safe travels!
Claim was submitted for a certain dollar amount with 2 receipts, one of which was not uploaded.
Instead of communicating that they were missing a receipt, they cut a check for partial payment with zero contact.
Extremely difficult to get in touch with anyone.
I’ve emailed them twice with a copy of the receipt and no response.
Phone mailbox is full-you can’t speak to anyone.
I will not choose Aegis again.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Melanie. We sincerely apologize for any miscommunication regarding your claim. After reviewing your file, we see that once the missing receipt was provided, the remaining balance of your claim was quickly approved for payment. You should have already received an email with instructions to select your preferred payment method. We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to resolve the matter.
I face planted about an hour after boarding the Sun Princess in Barcelona on Aug 8. Went to ER to determine extent of my injury. No brain bleed but orbital bone fractures. Insurance was helpful and careful. We missed the cruise. They got us on a non stop flight home on the 14th.
I’m currently buried under forms and receipts to get reimbursed for medical, hotel and food in Barcelona.
Thankful I got the insurance.
We are so sorry to hear about your injury and that you had to miss your cruise, Cheryl. Most importantly, we're thankful that you're recovering. We see that our team has already communicated with you about how to move forward with the claim. If there's anything more we can do to assist you, please don't hesitate to reach out. We wish you a smooth recovery and appreciate your trust during such a challenging situation.
The agent was very informative on options available to me when I found out my flight was canceled due to a labor dispute.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Katrina! Unexpected travel disruptions can be stressful, and we're pleased we could help you understand your options. Thank you for choosing Aegis. Please don't hesitate to reach out again if you need further assistance.
Difficult to contact claims people and find information on the claim and the EOB.
I had to cancel the trip and asked for Slater coverage. They said l would have to name a new destination before the original departure.
Aegis was not customer oriented.
I had a similar situation with IMG and could use the insurance for almost a year later. Img is much more flexible.
Aegis is off my list.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Bernd. We understand your frustration. In this case, policy extensions after the original departure date require an exception from the underwriter. If you have a new date for travel, and documentation that the old trip was cancelled and refunded without any penalties, then we are able to go to the underwriter to request an exception. Please contact us directly at (800) 774-3959 so that we can further assist you.
Aegis never ever contacted me and I filed a $500 claim.
Thank you for your feedback, Angela. We understand the claims process can feel frustrating when you're waiting for updates. After your claim was submitted, a confirmation email was sent acknowledging receipt of your claim. While many claims are resolved within two weeks, some require additional review and can take up to 15 business days. At the time of your review, your claim was still within that processing timeframe. We also emailed you a request for additional information recently to help us move your claim forward. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us.
The company was very good at taking our money. However, when it came to paying for a trip cancellation, they were both confusing and ultimately refused reimbursement . THe reasons effectively eliminate the rational for having the insurance in te first place. WE would not use them again
Review Updated: 07/31/2026
Zurich was very difficult to deal with. Only when an Aegis representative got involved, did the company start to be proactive in addressing the arcane reason my claim was denied initially.
The Aegis rep. that did finally help me was polite, effective and prompt in her responses. However, taken as a whole, from the initial taking the policy to finally resolution, I found Aegis provided poor advise and, only after my persistence after denial by Zurich, became involved. I doubt that I will use them again
Thanks for your feedback, Robin. We understand why this outcome feels confusing. While the flight was canceled, because travel had already begun, the claim fell under Trip Interruption and Travel Delay coverage rather than Trip Cancellation.
After review, the airline identified the cancellation as an operational issue, which is not a covered reason for reimbursement of additional airfare under the policy. Travel Delay coverage may reimburse certain expenses related to a qualifying delay, but it does not provide coverage for replacement airfare.
We apologize for any frustration this might have caused and appreciate the opportunity to clarify. Our 24/7 assistance team is always available to answer questions. Please reach out to us directly if we can provide any further support.
Buying the policy was simple and clear. We have never made a travel insurance claim before but it was necessary this trip as we had to cancel the entire trip due to illness. We're hopeful that our claim is accepted.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re glad to hear it was a smooth process, though we’re sorry to hear your trip had to be canceled.
Currently, our system isn’t showing that a claim has been submitted. We tried reaching out to assist and left you a voicemail. We’re here and happy to help in any way we can to get this resolved for you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out.
