  • Aegis policy: Go Ready Choice

    I’ve been talking with them regarding my trip schedule change due to my daughter getting really sick with food poisoning.
    So far they are being really polite making me feel protected. 5 stars for their customer service although the case has not yet finished

    My daughter got sick in Europe and we had to change train dates. All penalties and ticket price difference were covered smoothly. I’ll definitely use this insurance again👍🏻

    Aegis policy: Go Ready Choice

    I purchased my policy via April. Upon returning from my trip I needed to make a claim. Initially, when I first called the number listed for April the operator had no real idea what I was trying to make a claim on; credit card, accessory, etc.. In this case, it was travel insurance. After a few minutes of confusion on both our ends, I finally mentioned April and she finally knew who she needed to direct my claim towards, otherwise she was conviced I was making a credit card claim. Since then, I have now been in touch with another company, having me fill out paperwork and provide every intricate detail of my travel, a booking # (this is nowhere to be found on my paperwork I’ve received from April initially) even proof of purchase of said item which was a Christmas present. (I’ve had to contact the gift giver, have her print out and send me proof that she bought it. Awkward to say the least.). This 3rd company asking for all the paperwork I’ve never heard of before. Neither of which has called themselves or even referred to “April”. I’ve also noticed that at the bottom of this paperwork all of this and policy has been underwritten by a fourth company. How many databases is my info being entered into? Starting to grasp the idea that April is just a conduit and once a person needs to make a claim they are going to have to jump through various hoops in order to do so. Fair enough. I’m in the process now, too late to turn back and I’d like to be reimbursed for items that I sought to insure. However, the bureaucratic hoops of having to do so are a bit dizzying. I understand the process. I just hope you understand what it’s like on the other end of it. Losing somethings d wanting the means to get it back but having to go through such a process in order to do so.
    Thank you for your time.

    Review Updated: 04/07/2019

    Some misunderstandings regarding my claim at first. However, upon writing to them, the issue was quickly personally attended to via personal phone call and they were on it. Once things got cleared up my claim was process with efficiency and professionalism. All in all, I’m quite satisfied with the result. Only thing I regret is having to file a file a claim in the first place, but things do happen when traveling. I would recommend April to others. Thank you

    Response from Aegis

    Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for the confusion at the onset of your call.

    We were able to reach out to Jones to verify he had everything needed to complete his claim submission, and to offer any assistance, as needed. He did have a couple of questions, which we were happy to answer.

    Jones has a pending claim with the airline, which needs to be resolved first, prior to the final review of this claim. Once that final disposition has been received, I have requested his claim be expedited.

    I am happy to report, as of this writing, Jones’ claim has been adjudicated, his settlement check will be forthcoming.

    Aegis policy: Go Ready Choice

    We had a number of flight cancellations when we are traveling to our destination. I called April customer service to ask what our policy would cover and when it would kick in. I.e., after a 12 hour delay or 24 hours, etc. The representative was 100% useless. He seemed confused by my very simple question. And then told me he had no way of even accessing our policy information and I would have to wait 24 to 48 hours to receive a reply by email from another department. I asked if there is another number to call where they can access my policy and he said NO. I cannot understand why the company is even paying someone if they can't answer the most simple of questions or even access the policy. If it's possible to respond to me and provide me contact information for April I would like to also provide them with his feedback. I now know I cannot trust April if there were an actual emergency.

    We thank David for taking his time to provide valuable feedback with his online review.

    We apologize for his frustration when contacting our office looking for answers. The coordinator handling his call did not properly identify his needs; more specifically, whether he was looking for assistance with rebooking flights/hotel or simply needed answers regarding policy coverage.

    Management from that department has recognized a need for improvement and is taking this opportunity to provide additional training.

    I bought flight cancellation policy. When my flight was cancelled April told me I wasn't covered.

    Aegis policy: VIP Plan

    The insurance offered us more options than others. We thankfully didn’t need to use it. My only issue was on the initial purchase it took a while to get through to a rep but finally did and my concerns were answered.

    Delay delay delay. Even after supervisor said it was handled and resolved it required additional phone calls. Lesson learned.
