“Generali Global Assistance policy: Preferred
Exceedingly difficult to reach customer service via phone, via email they respond (usually within 24-48hrs, sometimes not at all). I called repeatedly while on holiday due to missing luggage....no answer. I definitely wouldn’t use generali global assistance again.

My claim repersentative at Generali Global was Caitlin Strand, the issue occurred when I attempted to file a claim with generali global. I filed a complaint with squaremouth because I was unable to reach anyone by phone at generali global (even on the emergency line). Generali denied my claim because the airport (Accra) did not provide me with proof that the bags arrived delayed, although I had proof that the bags were missing, 2 news articles (it made national news because over 100 bags were missing from our flight), and pictures of the retrieved bags...the claim was still denied. Logic would have made a reasonable person think of the ease that someone could have said that they never received either bag (remember I had proof of the missing bag) and received a MUCH higher payout, but I was honest...I was only seeking $200 reimbursement for incidentals as outlined in the policy, however reason and logic didn't prevail. I've filed a formal complaint with the NY State Insurance commission and await a resolution.

“Generali Global Assistance policy: StandardWe have not been able to contact them. We were on hold for almost 1/2 hour. The web page they told us to access our claim was non existent. The page said it was for sale so we have not been able to file a claim and we have tried many ways. We feel that this company might be fraudulent. We are thinking about turning it into the TV Channel fraud line.

“Generali Global Assistance policy: PreferredTheir phone menu system is tedious and it takes too long to reach a customer service representative, and it is complicated if one has a revised or made a change to the original policy.

They require a lot of duplicate paperwork for one illness covering one day lost on a tour = 3 separate claims! One for the doctor visit, one for the extra hotel night, and one for the night missed at the next hotel and guide tour missed at the next destination.

Darhla from WAReview Received: December 26, 2019Was this review helpful?0 out of 1 people found this review helpful“Generali Global Assistance policy: PremiumI contacted Generali Global and it was largely an interaction with their automated system. I am in the process of making a claim with my Medicare supplement carrier which is required prior to making a claim with Generali Global. It seem that this will take some time to resolve depending on how fast each of the entities respond. This is a small claim ($378) so it may not be worth the trouble.

The claim process was clean and easy. Gathering and transmitting the info is a little bit of a task, but I certainly understand why it’s necessary. Their response was quick and I expect a check in about a week.

“Generali Global Assistance policy: StandardDue to the Lufthansa Airline strike on Nov. 11 which resulted in a cancellation of my flight home from Spain, I had to extend my hotel stay for two days.
No help from Lufthansa who did not send me a cancellation notice, or even answer phone calls. Thanks to United Airlines I was able to confirm that my
flight was cancelled, and the UA agent was able to rebook me for a flight two days later. I submitted a claim to Generali Global Assistance for my hotel bill for the extra two days for travel delay. It took only two weeks for General Global to process my claim and issue me a reimbursement check.I'm very satisfy with General Global and will definitely buy their policies again in the future.
