    Review Updated: 05/09/2024

    Our trip was interrupted when debris on the track caused us to be bussed back to Vancouver after just 3 hours. The agent said the 150% refund does not apply because after the interruption it became a cancellatio, as no trains could run. We had to find new flights to return home, stay in a hotel til then, eat at restaurants. All this, Generali won't cover at all..(finally agreed to pay airfare trade up to return home..(for one of us so far).
    They say they do not refund original airfare to Canada because "we used the flight" although the use of flight was sadly un- useful, since our vacation was interrupted.
    We paid over $2200 for the policy based on train, flights, and the expenses prepaid through Freshtracks. We were only refunded, the Freshtracks charges, at 100%, not counting Via costs, since Via refunded us for the train. About 9k from Generali. Via refunded about 16k. Not the %150 promised on application for interruption.
    So I think we are owed 50% of the 25k, as promised, plus airfare and hotel after the interuption. I think you should not recommend them. We have been requesting a payment since the first week of March, and received the part in mid April, still need the rest.

    I was hoping that our one night in a houseboat, that was uninhabitable, would have been covered.

    I submitted a claim because the was an extreme blizzard that prevented us from arriving in North Lake Tahoe on 3/2 and 3/3. I submitted 2 claims one for each day before leaving. I tried to call the customer support. All the responses were automated driving me to their claims portal. One claim was closed. I submitted all docs for weather delays and receipts for stay on the claim. I have not received a response why the one claim was closed. I have only received messages to submit documents with in 20 days. I resubmitted to blizzard notices and the airbnb receipts. I tried to call the customer support today but only received automated status updates and the call ends.

    It is very unclear what what is occurring, what it needed, what to expect and why one claim was closed.

    Both claim numbers:
    24029579-01- open
    24029585-01- closed

    Policy Number:

    Review Updated: 04/13/2024

    It was not clear, Confusing, multiple phone calls. One of my 2 claims was closed without explanation.

    I did receive voicemail updates, but not in claim communication or explanation in refunds only in follow up after I reached out.

    It was resolved and eventually communicated

    The group at Generali that was supposed to help with illness during the trip never got back to me even after sending them medical info and several phone calls. As a whole their customer support team is very difficult to get on the phone.

    The hardest thing about managing the claim was getting the information from my outfitter

    This is our second time working with Generali. Both experiences have been very good, staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We felt we received very effective guidance and they made it easy to navigate through the many options and to make a thoughtful decision.

    Review Updated: 04/05/2024

    I was contacted by an agent to see if I needed help to prepare my claim. I did not talk to the agent because I was waiting on documents from doctors. Once I got everything all together I submitted my claim on March 14. Now I wait. I checked on the claim on the 2nd of April but no movement. I gave this 4 stars due to how long it takes to get paid. I wish I was assigned someone that I knew was working on my claim but crickets. I will wait it out.

    The claim, which was pretty complicated, was accepted at 100% of what we filed and didn't require any follow-up by either us or the insurance co.

    Communication was very good, pretty easy to use Web site and download materials. Turnaround time for check was very quick.

    Have used SquareMouth Insurance on 4 trips and had to file claims on two of them.

    Plan on using on nest trip.
