  • Generali Global Assistance policy: Standard

    Our first flight was delayed on June 14th so much that we missed our connecting international flight. I called the 24 hour Generali help line the woman I spoke with, Shay, was very helpful and we understand that we can get the costs incurred through this trip interruption covered through the travel insurance we purchased. We filed a claim on Sunday, June 25th and are still waiting to hear back from Generali (today is July 1st). We are hopeful that the trip insurance for trip interruption will allow us to recoup the money we spent and lost due to our trip interruption. Our interruption resulted in a 24 hour delay in getting to our destination of Edinburgh, Scotland.

    Also, I want to be clear that the email received from you requestions our feedback mentioned COVID-19 interfering with our trip. This is not the case at all. COVID had nothing to do with our trip interruption. It was all due to Delta flight delays. Thank you, Julie Fitch

    I asked the assistance center while traveling whether they covered a particular experience. They told me they could not tell me. They would have to wait until I filed a claim.

    When I got home and did file a claim, I spent one hour trying unsuccessfully to upload documents to their claim website. When I finally got someone on the phone.
    they told me the website frequently had problems uploading documents and I could send it by my claim by email. But I had to start from zero and rewrite the entire explanation and fill in all of the information manually. It was a very frustrating experience.

    Needed to purchase insurance that covered vouchers. Contacted squaremouth and their representatives were helpful in directing me in which company to purchase insurance that would cover vouchers. Two days prior to travel my husband became ill and we were not able to travel. We are in the process of submitting a claim now so we will see how it works for us with vouchers.

    We will not buy travel insurance again but rather get changeable tickets. We couldn't go on this trip due to a cousin's death. Cousins' deaths are not covered.

    We made a claim on our trip from Jun1-June 14 from Seattle to Athens Greece. Policy number is 22361W0595. The claim was for flight delay, interruptions and lost luggage. We were told we would be contacted by an agent but have not been. It was said that we would receive a claim number but have not had any correspondence.

    Our airline (Turkish Air) cancelled our flight 3 weeks before departure causing us to have to purchase tickets with another airline (United). Since it was so close to the trip, our new price for the round trip was over $1,200 more than the original ticket price with Turkish Airline which was purchased 3 months in advance of the flight. I filed a claim for the difference in price, but it was denied.

    It was easy to sign up with Generali for my second time with the company. It is difficult to get answers and payments.

    After shopping around for travel insurance, Generali Global was just what we were looking for, affordable and thorough. The purchase process was easy and our family went on vacation with complete peace of mind.
