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.

    Generali Global Assistance paid my claim in full. I rated their service as 4 stars due to two issues that I experienced in the claim process. The first issue was their online claim process needs a little tweaking to help claimants edit draft claims easily. The second issue was that their claim agent failed to include a portion of the claim in the first reimbursement check. I had to contact them to inquire if a portion of the claim was denied. It was not denied, and they issued a check for the balance promptly. I was satisfied with this provider's service and would do business with them again.

    We filed a TRIP INTERRUPTION and TRAVEL DELAY claim on June 10, 2023. Our May 26, 2023 flight from Copenhagen to Zurich was cancelled (No explanation/reason given) and we were rescheduled to fly the next day. On August 10, 2023 we were finally assigned a Claim Representative (Shay Raban, ext. 2024). I contacted him, and he replied that my claim was in his que, and he would work on it when he could. I have still not heard from him.
    I would NOT recommend this policy to other travelers.

    I called at the half way point of our trip to report I had Covid, so did not want to take the next seven day cruise leaving that day from Vancouver. They tried to help arrange flights home, but my cell phone didn't work very well, so I ended up booking flights myself, which were less expensive than the options they suggested.

    I've submitted my claim for the one week cruise and the airfare back to Anchorage. When you contact me in four weeks, I hope I can report they covered my expenses.

    I recommend Squaremouth to anyone who will listen. Just last night I told a friend of my daughter to get a policy asap for a cruise she booked for next March.

    I recommend Squaremouth to all of my friends, but will specify not to use Generali Global with future recommendations. Please let me know if you have any questions about my experience. Thank you. -Eileen Norby

    Generali did not provide a list of expenses that could be claimed.

    We took a 7 day cruise from Whittier, Alaska to with plans to take the same ship back for another 7 day cruise. Upon arrival in Vancouver, I tested positive for Covid and my husband tested positive that evening. We did not begin the second week of the cruise and flew home to Anchorage.

    I requested $2,540.31, but received only $2,171.00.

    Without explanation, Generali Global Assistance covered only six out of seven nights of our cancelled seven night cruise. I wrote to explain we never began the week of the cruise, but did not receive a response.

    They did not cover a taxi ride from our cruise terminal to the Vancouver airport.

    I submitted a $36.94 meal receipt from the Vancouver airport. Without explanation, they provided each of us with $6.50.

    Summary of expenses:
    $1,178 Cost of the second week of the Holland America Cruise that we missed
    $43.68 Taxi from the Vancouver Cruise Terminal to Vancouver Airport
    $36.94 Meal at Vancouver Airport
    $1,078.78 Cost of our Alaska Airlines flights home that I booked. They were less than any of
    the quoted options provided by EA-Europ Assistance and GGA-Generali Global Assistance
    $40.00 Taxi from the Anchorage Airport to our home in Anchorage (I did not have a receipt for this, so said I understood if I wasn't reimbursed.)
    $70* Seven days of parking in Whittier near the cruise terminal
    $79.91* Mileage from Anchorage to Whittier book dock to pick up our car
    $13* Whittier Access Tunnel Toll
    *
    I have included the cost of the second week of my parking fee from Whittier, Alaska, which had
    to be prepaid before the cruise. It was a total of $140, so I’m asking for a return of $70.
    The cost of driving from Anchorage down to Whittier is also requested. It was a 122 mile
    roundtrip charged at the standard government rate of 65.5 cents per mile. There was also a $13
    Whittier Access Tunnel Toll need to reach Whittier.

    I developed terrible sciatica pain while hiking in Spain. That forced me to go to a health center for help. The alternative would have been to abandon my hike as impossible under the circumstances.

    At the health center, I was a bit surprised when I was asked if I had travel insurance. I said "yes," and produced my policy information from my backpack. The person who asked spent some time reviewing the thick pile of paper I had provided, selected the top sheet, made a copy, and told me everything was all set.

    Shortly thereafter, I was seen by a doctor who ordered an injection and two prescriptions.

    As I was leaving, I asked if I owed any money for the services provided, which, frankly, I had expected to pay for. I was told "no," and left. I simply paid for the prescriptions out of pocket. They were not expensive.

    The injection and prescriptions made it possible for me to finish my days hiking and the remainder of my vacation with tolerable discomfort.

    I rated my satisfaction with the claim process as 5 stars because all I did was produce the package of insurance paper at the health center. It cannot be easier than that.

    I had to be air lifted to a hospital for medical treatment. It was within the first 24 hrs. of our 7 day cruise to Mexico. We were reimbursed for cruise interuption 100%. I did take a while due to the Covid 19 interuption of everything, but the company stayed in touch with me and were always helpful. I always use SquareMouth travel Insurance. Bruce

    Thanks for the feedback Bruce! We love our loyal travelers.

    We wanted to customize the travel insurance package to better fit our needs. We have very good health coverage and we’re not allowed drop the additional health insurance provided by Generali in their travel package. We would have modified the insurance to cover “cancellation for any reason “ since we were concerned about an ill relative here in our home town. We were interested in saving the cost of additional medical insurance. It seemed like there were previously more options.

    I didn't need this policy, but it did give me piece of mind in case anything came up. Wish it was a little cheaper, that's all.

    Trying to talk to an agent after filing a claim has been a terrible experience. Their phone tree is unhelpful, has no option to talk to a human, and I wasted an hour with their online chat bot and live agent. They ask the same questions you've already answered and then don't actually connect you to someone when they say they're connecting you, and then I did get a real person after about 45 minutes and he said he was reviewing my claim and then would respond and then it hung up on me. Horrible system.
