  • Aegis policy: Go Ready Choice

    We did submit a claim for "trip interruption" as we had to leave the tour in Murren, Switzerland due to altitude issues. We re-joined several days later, but had charges for a different hotel, etc., during that time.
    Submitted the claim in October. It is still "under review." We're assuming that they're hoping we'll get tired of waiting and give up???

    After 4/5 months, April finally sent us a letter stating they will not cover the expenses. I acknowledge that the reason they gave seems valid in that we did not have a letter from a physician verifying that my husband really was having difficulty breathing at the high altitude we were at. If anything like this should ever happen again, we'll ensure that we see a doctor ... and then they can pay for that expense as well.

    I uploaded the documents 5 days, I see that no one has reviewed them as of yet. However, it was only 3 business days. April's claim process can be confusing and the people who you get on the phone don't know anything about filling out the documents.

    There was some confusion in the policy due to different laws about primary coverage in CT. The company rep had to research the answer and did a good job of getting back to me

    Slow reply. Unclear reply. Not much of assistance in transit. Waiting days for email reply.

    It was very reassuring to have this travel insurance. The premium was reasonable and signing up was easy. I would highly recommend this to anyone traveling.

    Making the arrangement to purchase the insurance was very easy and quick and very reasonable. I did not have to file a claim

    Aegis policy: Go Ready Choice

    Our vacation was on a cruise ship. We missed 2 ports of call due to weather. When we returned home, I called to file a claim. I was told that my plan did not cover missed ports, however it would have if I had purchased their cruise plan. It’s frustrating because I was never given that option through Squaremouth when picking my plan. If I had been, I would have gotten a significant amount of money to cover my 2 missed ports of call. We primarily cruise, so without this option, I will not be using Squaremouth again.

    I appreciated being able to talk with a Travel Insurance customer service representative. She was very helpful, professional, thorough, and answered all of my questions about different insurance options I was interested in. I feel that Square Mouth gave me the insurance I wanted at a fair price, and I will contact them again the next time I am looking for travel insurance. Thank you.

    The claims process was way too involved. I had to provide the same information via email with attachments and via document uploads to three different representatives from April Travel Protection - A Sales Support Specialist, A Claims Processor, and finally An Adjuster. At each time it was like starting the claim anew. The whole process took way too long and involved way too many parties. It felt like each layer of bureaucracy, each additional gatekeeper was designed so that we would get frustrated with the process and drop the claim. We eventually go our check (for $51) but it took tenacity on our part to keep the claim moving along.

    The process felt like the insurance company only wanted to deal with travel agencies or people that had booked their trips through a travel agency. If you are handling your own bookings and making your own travel arrangements, I would recommend that you avoid April Travel Protection.
