AXA Assistance Travel Insurance Reviews

Highly recommended and would definitely use AXA again.
Our bags didn't make the flight on our return home, so when we got home from our 3 week trip to Europe we didn't have any of our daily needs or even our underwear and socks since we had been gone so long. We waited 24 hrs and still no bags and no word from the airline so we went out and bought our necessities. The bags finally arrived 80 hours late, fortunately, because we would have lost much more than the insurance would have covered in our AXA Gold policy. I say this, because you don't really realize how much your clothes are worth until you sit down and itemize them. Plus, if you tried to replace everything immediately you'd have to pay full price for items you may have bought on sale. Additionally, my wife was very upset at the thought of having to shop for all her clothes because women's clothes are such a hassle to buy since everything fits differently.
We submitted a claim for our purchases and we just received a letter stating that we will be reimbursed for our full claim.
I am very pleased with this service and will definitely use AXA in the future, however, I will probably increase my coverage from Gold to Platinum because when we thought our bags had been lost by the airlines we read that 24 million bags are lost each year.

They were unable to tell me if the policy would cover upgraded airline tickets to get me home after a spinaI fracture. I made the reservations by phone and don't have good documentation as to how much extra I paid. The VISA bill came with a different company name than the airline plus extra fees. Will I be able to collect? We will see.

It's nice to have Bec.Emergency Happens.and Unpredictable.

Thank you for being prompt with my request for a change in the cost of my travel--this was a request made pre-travel. Thank goodness I didn't need to make a claim. Having your insurance gave me peace of mind during my trip.

I learned a hard lesson purchasing this travel insurance.

Our very best friends daughter unexpectantly passed away. We REALLY did want to return for the funeral. However, our policy only allowed for immediate family members. I learned a hard lesson in not getting insurance effective for "Any Reason". If I recall correctly, the agent I dealt with did not question an "Any Reason" policy. Like I said, "Hard lesson learned".

Very good overall experience. Price and service were both good and met my needs. I would recommend.

After a 3+ hr delay on my initial Delta flight I missed my connection for my O'seas flight... But my baggage went so it got separated and bags were delayed 36 hrs in arriving at final destination (India)- AND with a camera missing out of it.
Not having the receipt from when I bought it (it got lost in a move) resulted in my getting $269 after about 2 months- an overall frustrating experience with Delta but the AXA claims handling was fair considering depreciation & the premium cost $25.
JohnN,

Claim process was very short and form very user friendly as well as customer service assistance people very helpful .

It would be helpful to be able to contact AXA by email instead of phone. It's not always possible or convenient to make a phone call.

We had to cancel our trip for medical reasons.
We contacted AXA Assistance USA on the same day that the health emergency occurred.
We were treated cordially and received the claim forms via email promptly.
Our doctor filled out the medical portion of the forms and we sent the packet of all completed material within 8-9 days of the medical emergency.
The first time we heard anything from AXA Assistance USA was today. Via an email we have been informed that our claim materials have been received and are being processed.
It is unclear why three weeks have elapsed before this notification was sent to us.
Apparently the 30 day processing time begins today, although we have no way of knowing where the claim has been for three weeks.
We will be able to give more complete feedback about our experience with AXA Assistance USA after our claim is processed.

NOTE: We selected 1 star to answer the question about our experience "during" the trip - which we never took. There was no way to correctly answer this question.
