Many Generali customers appreciate the fast and easy online claims process, with many highlighting how quickly they receive reimbursement. However, some customers find the claims portal and the provider’s automated phone system difficult to navigate.
Thanks for asking. They are not easy to communicate with. I was advised to send in an email, as opposed to filling out a claim online because we did not have a doctor's letter (we both got sick while traveling).
I sent an email in, and did receive a confirmation email, but I called after a couple weeks and asked the status. First, it was almost impossible to get a person on the phone, then, I was told it would take 25 business days to hear back. That's unreasonable. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, they said, yes, and connected me to the phone messaging. I called Squaremouth and someone VERY helpful suggested I confirm that I have the confirmation email, which I did. And, she said to check back as I'll have to wait the 25 business days. The next day I received an email from them, confirming, and giving me a claim number. I will not work with Generali again.

I first called Generali with my claim, they advised me to make my claim through an email because when my husband and I both got sick on our trip, we did not contact a doctor. I did as they advised and uploaded all the pertinent documents regarding the claim. I was in contact with them again because they hadn’t gotten back to me and they clarified that exact information.
Then I received an email that strangely immediately disappeared from my email and I was not able to dig it out. I called them and explained that I needed them to send another email with an explanation.
they said that my claim was denied because we had not contacted a doctor while we were sick. I spoke on the phone with them and explained that number one, My daughter was traveling with us and she is a doctor Was very helpful while My husband and I were both in bed sick for a couple of days. Also, that we had been traveling on a ship in which several people got sick with very bad colds, and it was clear that was what we had. I also explained that my husband still saw a doctor after we got home because he was Still sick.
I requested that they send me the email that got lost in the ether explaining why they denied my claim and also that the claims person call me. They have done neither of those things. Also, I asked if I could have a phone number for them in which I was easier to call them as the numbers online loop the caller through ridiculous circular messaging and no real people. The number they gave me did not allow me to call a person either.
I would really appreciate your help in this process
Thanks very much, Terry Karlin
Currently trying to contact West Jet to determine if they are going to send a timely refund for a cancelled flight. If they do not respond, I will complete my claim for delay of trip and interruption of travel.

Your call led to resolution in 1 day.
Everything in filing the claim and providing the documents was online and easy to complete, including the doctor's statements and tip bookings, payments and cancellations documents. I suggest people keep PDF copies of their credit card statements and all other trip documents, when they are made rather than having to return and look up details if they are filing a claim.
Generali Global's website was fairly easy to use, but when attaching documents to substantiate the claim downloading one document at a time is easier then multiple documents. It takes a bit longer to download everything and after a bit of a problem that was easily resolved. I appreciated the ability to also attach documents on different days, once the claim has been started the ability for the website to save documents until everything was gathered and downloaded was a very good feature.
Generali Global promptly acknowledged the receipt of the completed claim via email. They then contacted me via email for information I overlooked sending. When I sent the requested additional documents they communicated by email that they were processing the claim, on June 20. I followed up on July 2 to inquire about the status of the claim and they said the claim had been approved and sent me links to get the funds, via check, wire transfer, credit card or debit card.
After I chose the wire transfer option and completed the required online process the payment was deposited to my account in 48 hours.
General Global responded within 24 hours to all emails I sent them.
I definitely would use them again for travel insurance.
On July 2nd I have sent a request to file a claim to customerservice@info.generalitravelinsurance.com but did not recieve a reply yet. While in Turkey I could not reach customer service as my local phone could not call collect. Below is a copy of my e-mail letter
To whom it may concern:
Dear Sir or Madam,
During our trip to Turkey between June 16th and 29th of 2024 my wife Elena Khabner has injured her toe while in Istanbul. She developed an infection, and the toe became swollen and skin color turned blue. We had to go to the Egemed Medical Group Hospital for an assistance on June 26th, 2024 while traveling in Turkey. They performed the examination, drained the pus and performed other necessary things. The total charge was 220 Euro - please see the bill attached. I would like to get reimbursed for that bill.
P.S. I tried to call collect from Turkey but my local SIM did not allow to call collect, so I'm writing to you now upon returning home to USA>
Please reply to this e-mail or call me at +1 720-648-8755
Thank you,
Gregory Khabner
