“Generali Global Assistance policy: StandardI got covid during a Globus bus tour and their policy prohibited my husband and I from continuing on the bus tour requiring us to get a train back to Glasgow and pay for 3 nights in a hotel waiting for our original flight. I submitted a claim but now 30 days later I haven't heard anything and can't figure out from their automated phone line how to get a real person on the phone.

“Generali Global Assistance policy: StandardEasy, Peasy, even when I realized at the last minute that I hadn't included some expenses in my trip cost estimate. A phone call was all it took to increase the policy amount and luckily I had a great trip with no complications.

“Generali Global Assistance policy: StandardGkW from CAReview Received: October 11, 2022Was this review helpful?16 out of 16 people found this review helpful***CLAIM STILL NOT RESOLVED >60+ days***
It has been over 2 months since I submitted our claim and we are STILL in the process of trying to resolve. The adjuster contacted us several weeks after our submittal and has asked repeatedly for documents already provided. She only returned my calls after I called customer service to complain, she didn't respond to my email asking for clarification of what was needed. She only seems to work once a week, as it is typically at least a week before she gets back to us. Our claim is for lost services caused by a canceled flight due to mechanical failure, I have provided itemized documentation from our travel agent, the airline, my credit card statements and they are STILL trying to prove that we actually paid for and did not receive services. This has been extremely frustrating.
What has made it even MORE frustrating is that there was a group of 6 of us who were on this trip and we all made claims with the same information that we were provided with. One of the couples was already reimbursed several weeks ago. Another couple just heard from their adjuster, asking for more information. It doesn't appear that they have any support system in place for customers, as I was just told by their customer representatvie that the only thing they could help me with is asking our adjuster to call me. At this point, we do not have any means to escalate our case and are completely at the mercy of our adjuster and his supervisor to approve our claim.
Their modus operandi is to wear people out so that they give up on their claim so the company will not have to pay. I made the mistake of purchasing another policy for a trip we will have in 2023, and I am just praying that there will not be a need to make a claim. I realize that individual adjusters can affect your experience, but there seems to be zero quality control and absolutely no effort for customer satisfaction after the policy has been purchased. I am hoping that this will be resolved soon, we are on a fixed income and it would be helpful to get this reimbursement since our trip was not inexpensive.
“Generali Global Assistance policy: PreferredThe pre-departure (and pre-purchase) questions I asked weren’t clearly answered by the Generali Global Assistance staff member. She seemed to have a script and couldn’t address my follow-up questions or explain — to me, anyway — the company’s policy regarding Covid. In fact, I felt she was getting a little irritated. She kept repeating what she’d said before, but couldn’t or wouldn’t elaborate on it. I had to scrutinize the policy myself —and it wasn’t easy — before deciding, finally, to buy it. It provided peace of mind.

“Generali Global Assistance policy: PreferredDo to Hurricane Ian we were unable to make our cruise. On contacting Generali Global I was advised that I was past the 10 day free look period. So I was unable to cancel the policy. I feel that due to the circumstances of the request consideration should have been made.
