“Aegis policy: Economy Plan
So far am not satisfied with service from April Travel Protection.Difficulty communicating with them internationally and they did not seem to understand my situation which was rather unique. Was sent information that was incorrect and confusing. They did not seem to be very professional and was transferred to various agents. Though my claim is yet to be completed I am hopeful that in the end they will prove themselves to be a reputable travel insurance company. You are free to get back with me as I took your advice in contracting with April. You gave them a very good recommendation and I trusted you.
Donald Andrew from WAReview Received: January 2, 2015Was this review helpful?21 out of 24 people found this review helpfulResponse from AegisWe thank Donald for entrusting his travel insurance needs with April Travel Protection. We take great pride in our exceptional customer service and are truly disappointed Donald feels we were unable to meet his expectations.
Donald reached out to April's 24 hour call center three days after he learned his cruise was cancelled. Basic information was obtained and, a case was opened. After taking the time to review all call and email communications, I can confirm that our team was courteous, professional, and competent throughout.
While multiple organizations were engaged in the coordination efforts to return this cruise lines' guests to their home cities or their next destinations, Donald made the decision to extend his stay abroad. Throughout this period, each company was regularly communicating with Donald and one another via phone and email.
Keeping within the terms and conditions of the policy, Donald's claim has been finalized. We were able to maximize his benefit allowances including:
Trip Interruption - for his airfare to get to his next destination along with the applicable ground transfers which allowed him to resume his post cruise plans;
Trip Delay - due to the interruption of his trip while getting to his next destination and;
Missed Connection due to the cancellation of the sailing to cover accommodations and meal expenses
We understand that Donald believes that he should receive additional compensation to, in essence, repay him for the 2-week substitute vacation he chose to take when his original cruise abroad went awry. However, travel insurance is here to repay policyholders for non-refundable items that were cancelled or unexpected expenses for travel disruptions. In this case, the cruise line naturally refunded him for the cruise that they were unable to provide. Had Donald chosen to return to the states within a timely fashion like the rest of his follow passengers had done, he most certainly would not have had additional expenses out of pocket. The fact that he chose to remain in a 5-star hotel for 2 weeks and then fly back home on his originally scheduled Business Class Ticket put him in a situation where his policy limits were reached.SquaremouthSquaremouth has contacted the customer to open a Zero Complaint Case. Squaremouth has contacted April Travel Protection to determine what has happened with this claim.

Margery from NJReview Received: November 29, 2014Was this review helpful?0 out of 0 people found this review helpful“Aegis policy: Go Ready ChoiceAfter purchase, price of trip increased, so I contacted APRIL to increase coverage. They did not get back to me until the third call, some months later, and finally did increase coverage. It was a poor experience with customer service.
Scott from COReview Received: November 28, 2014Was this review helpful?24 out of 28 people found this review helpful“Aegis policy: Go Ready ChoiceYour survey is inadequate for someone who did not access the coverage....there should be a selection for "didn't use it". Since I'm not filing a claim I really have NO opinion on your coverage. The store front help was excellent and I appreciated the range of choices. I always purchase this type of insurance when traveling international. I chose this particular insurance for the coverages....they suited my need.

So far I don't know what the result of the claim will be, however.

It is very affordable, provides excellent coverage, customer service is great and reimbursement of expenses is prompt. April Travel Protection is truly a 5 Star company that I would be proud to recommend to any traveler.

Protection PolicyMichael from NJReview Received: October 13, 2014Was this review helpful?57 out of 65 people found this review helpful“Aegis policy: Multi-Trip Plan EliteThis should be zero star, not one. Appalling. Absolutely the worst insurance policy service I have ever experienced in 50 years. The front end people were fine, but as soon as the claim was sent back to head office, they showed themselves to be incompetent, uncaring, and uninformed. I would never ever use these people again or recommend them to others. They left me open-mouthed with their inability to deal with simple, basic insurance issues and most of all with their complete and utter lack of communication.
