    Terrible. Will never use them again. Absolutely impossible to deal with. Have been trying for two months to receive payment for a very simple claim of less than $500 without success.

    Response from Aegis

    Thank you for contacting our team regarding the delay in the processing of your claim. Your case was pending information from the airline to substantiate the flight delay and cancellation. When I spoke with your wife, yesterday afternoon, she explained you had difficulty in obtaining this documentation. As a courtesy, we were able to reach out to American Airlines and request this information. American Airlines was able to confirm the flight delay was due to Air Traffic Control issues, while the second flight was cancelled due to weather. This information was immediately shared with your adjuster, and your claim was properly adjudicated within the hour. I placed a call to you this afternoon to share the news, to which you were very thankful.

    Was denied travel insurance through Disney because trip was paid in full. Which I still don';t understand why you can purchase it for a trip you haven't paid for , but whatever. It landed me with your company which ended up being a less expensive alternative anyhow and I was treated with respect and consideration with your company. If we plan another trip, I will be sure to purchase through your company again. Thank you

    Unfortunately 28 hours before departure my husband awoke with a badly swollen face and mouth pain. He had an abscessed tooth that required immediate removal, complete with a drain for 48 hours. Trip was canceled via travel provider and we are awaiting a determination from the insurers underwriting department. Over $27,000 is at stake so I hope we will collect and not have to involve lawyers!

    Thank you for providing excellent insurance! My husband suffered a medical emergency 28 hours before our departure. The insurance claims process was very easy to navigate, and full reimbursement was quickly received within 2 weeks of filing our claim.

    Claim process is somewhat cumbersome. Their website submission could be improved. It's very inflexible in describing the documents you are submitting. Some categories don't apply and others that you need are not there. Agents contacted via phone don't always know the answers. They suggested submitting and then finding out what you did wrong. Doesn't seem very efficient.

    Review Updated: 01/27/2020

    My wife an I had to interrupt a walking tour in Switzerland when I was hospitalized for 3 days there. We first submitted a claim to April on line for trip interruption expenses (a claim for medical expenses was submitted later). We had heard nothing after 4 weeks, so contacted Squaremouth Zero Complaint. After their assistance, a claim adjuster from April (Kandice) responded and was very helpful. The trip interruption claim was processed in about 2 months. All in all it took about 4 months to process both claims. So don't expect this to be a quick process. First, the hospital in Switzerland took 7 weeks to send us a final bill. Next, since our April medical insurance was secondary, and we had to wait 2 months for our primary medical insurance company (Blue Cross) to process our medical claims. Only after you have an EOB from your primary medical insurance company will secondary medical insurance process your medical claim. Overall we were satisfied with April, but the process required time - more than we originally hoped.

    Very helpful agent assisted us with information as we made our travel plans. The conversation and having the insurance made me confident and calm.

    My several phone conversations with your agents while I was in the process of getting insurance were most satisfactory.

    Aegis policy: Go Ready Trip Cancellation

    After initially contacting April customer service, they promptly sent me the claims documentation that I needed in order to submit my claim. I completed the documentation and uploaded it to the portal as instructed on 8/20. According to their portal, files would be reviewed within 5 business days. It is now 9/16 and the files still show not reviewed. I have e-mailed and called my claims agent and she has not responded since. She has not replied to an e-mail, answered the phone, or called me back after leaving a voicemail.

    Will definitely never use April Travel Protection again.

    I have contacted Squaremouth customer service and they are stepping up in order to resolve the claim. They have been very responsive, I hope that they have more success than I do.

    After initiating the Zero Complaint Review process, the claim was addressed in rapid fashion by both April Travel and SquareMouth. Very impressed with their support throughout the Zero Compliant Review process.

    Response from Aegis

    We appreciate Shane taking the time to submit this review and apologize if our service did not meet his expectations. Upon receipt of this review, our Customer Service Team notified the policyholder that we were still pending receipt of some supporting documentation. Shane was able to quickly provide that information after which his claim was settled within 1 day.

    I would like you to know that I am STILL WAITING for the representative from April to contact me with a resolution on my claim. Yesterday for the first time she responded by phone to my claim being filed and my 5 phone calls and email, since the beginning of August!!
    This company is terrible.
