  • Generali Global Assistance policy: Standard

    The trip was cancelled due to coronavirus yet we still had to pay the insurance. Not fair.

    Response from Generali Global Assistance

    We’re sorry to hear of your frustration. Airline or cruise changes to schedules and destinations due to virus outbreaks are not one of the covered events listed in our policies. Like other insurance plans you may have, travel insurance cannot cover everything, so it’s important that you read and understand your Description of Coverage/Policy, made available to you before and after purchase.

    Sent several notes stating I did not take the trip due to the virus. I have never heard back from your company. I feel a refund should be made for my health policy. You were notified before the start of the policy Policy#20058W0957 Cost $57. Terrible customer support.

    Our trip was not covered by Squaremouth because it was cancelled because of the pandemic. Fortunately, the cruise line refunded our money so we did not need the insurance.
    Next time, I think we'll get the insurance offered by the cruise line.

    Thank you for your purchase. Actually, our plans can help if you are diagnosed with Coronavirus before or during your trip.

    I am very disappointed at the customer service with Generali. I am not one to submit bad reviews, but it is impossible to get a hold of someone with your company. After being on hold for almost 3 hours, I tried to have a representative call me back. The representative did not call me back for about 16 hours, and I was unable to speak with them at the time because I was at work. I feel Generali purposely tries to avoid its customers after they have already purchased a insurance plan. My trip was cancelled and I was unable to speak with a representative about what my options were to cancel my plan, but could not get any help whatsoever. What is I was traveling and had an emergency? I would not be able to get a hold of anyone. Purchasing this insurance was a waste of money as well as a waste of my valuable time. I wont be giving my business any longer and I will plead to everyone I know NOT to use your services for any travel. I am a travel blogger as well so I will be sure to spread the word across the internet not to use your services. You should just close this business down for good.

    we cancelled our trip due to increasing danger of Corona Virus. Did call few times GGA with no ability to get someone on line. Did sendan e-mail informing GGA about cancelled trip. Week later send second e-mail. Two weeks later GGA response was that they got our e-mail. Hope that few hundred of dollars (insurance paid by us) will be refunded. Important, that GGA did not mention when it will be done.

    The cost of the trip increased so I needed to up the insurance. I called customer service and the automated service ask that you use the web page, which I then did, several times. The webpage is terrible and it has you going in circles. I called the number again and just pressed zero to get to an agent, who was most helpful. He also let me know that I would not have been able to do online what I needed to do, although one of the automated selection is "change your policy" and that selection sends you to the web. Other than that, it was very easy to both buy the initial policy online and later make the change, and the cost was quite fair.

    My husband and I are in our 80’s. Due to the corona virus, we decided to depart early and were forced to pay the airline for the $400.00 ticket change. I was advised by your customer service that I was not covered. So I did not file a claim. I will not purchase insurance from your firm in the future.
