As other comments had mentioned their contact hours are Monday thru Friday. I did have an event happen on a Sunday while traveling, but it was not catastrophic. I would have asked for advise, but there was no number to call on a Sunday morning. I might not have handled the situation as they would have wanted me to, but when I filed a claim for it they covered it satisfactorily.
Also before travel one of the party had to cancel and they covered that claim also satisfactorily.
Once approved the payment process is quick. In both check was received in 1 week.
I felt from reading reviews that many travel insurance companies were sketchy. With Berkshire Hathaway not only did they have good reviews overall but also the name recognition.
If in the position to purchase travel insurance again I would go with Berkshire Hathaway again.
I developed health problems about two months before scheduled departure. Two doctors wrote letters advising me not to go, which were forwarded to BH. Good thing too, because they had a hard enough time keeping me alive here on dry land. It took them about two months but Berkshire ultimately made a full refund of all my expenses.
We had a family illness requiring hospitalization and had to cancel trip. Filled out claim form online and sent in the basic documentation requested. Had a check for the full amount of the trip within a couple of weeks. Very pleased.
I had to change my travel dates and trip coverage, and had a pleasant ,no hassle experience in doing so and getting my insurance rate adjusted, which led to a prompt refund for the difference. Can't get better than that.
seems to be easy so far. just waiting on the check
Review Updated: 04/30/2019
They processed the claim timely and it was a positive outcome.
I have to say I was shocked that the policy limited the definition of “married” couple to ones that are a man and a woman. I needed a policy in a hurry so I held my nose and bought yours, but is it even legal to discriminate in that way when gay marriage is federally recognized?
Chat representative very knowledgeable and helpful. Answered questions quickly.
Very reasonable and fills my needs well. Thank you.
Will probably renew next year
I have used your services twice and enjoyed the great pricing. You are now my go to travel protection service.
Thanks,
Kevin Johnson
