IMG customers have noted that the customer service is attentive both before and during their trips, especially when they need to modify their policies. Some customers have experienced difficulties with the online claims portal and uploading documents. However, IMG has recently improved its claims process to make it more efficient and transparent for customers.
I spoke with Squaremouth Customer Service a number of times, one of which included a supervisor, who was extraordinarily helpful. It seemed, for a while, that the trip would be cancelled, but it ultimately came off without a hitch. The most important thing I learned is that most carriers will NOT consider United future flight credits (or their equivalent on other airlines) to be travel "payments." IMG and Berkshire Hathaway will reimburse these costs, which limited my choice to those 2 companies. I have used Berkshire in the past, (who quickly paid a claim) but they were not competitively priced for this trip. Payment of airline travel credits should be included in your policy evaluations.
Travel Insurance basically strikes me as a crooked business, where the companies try to give you the illusion of great travel coverage, which evaporates with all the "weasel wording" deep in the text. While perhaps necessary for some trips, I would not buy any travel insurance policy without using a comparison/evaluation source like Squaremouth. It gives the traveler a fighting chance against the attorneys and risk analysts who write the policies designed to avoid payment when possible. The average person otherwise has no ability to make rational comparisons between companies and policies.
Very easy to purchase. Also easy to get answers to questions. I would purchase again, and recommend to other travelers.
I had to make a claim for a hospital visit (food poisoning on my last day of the trip). I was directed to a very clear online form. IMG handled the process and covered the hospital fee. I received update emails as my claim was processed. Very good process.
My main complaint is how long and complex the policies are, and the crazy exclusions, such as eyeglasses. How are you supposed to complete your trip if you can't see? This is/should be a medical necessity.
After purchasing the policy, I noticed I entered the dates of travel off by 1 day. I called to have rhe policy updated. Customer support was extremely helpful and quick to correct the policy as well as I dorm me when I could expect to receive the updated documents. It was a smooth transaction all around.
IMG representative was very helpful and very professional. They helped us get the information we needed.
I submitted a claim to IMG and immediately received an acknowledgement that mt claim had been received and being processed. About ten days later I received an email stating the claim was approved and that they would be mailing me a check. Yesterday i received the check for the full amount of my claim.
Filing a claim with IMG/i-Travel Insured was straightforward and we were very happy with the final result. It was all handled online and their instructions were clear. While it's never easy to find all the required documentation and scan and upload it, once we did that we got very prompt responses and updates as it was being reviewed. They did ask for additional back-up. Even thought we weren't able to provide exactly what they requested, we provided other info and happily they paid the claim (for one night at a hotel we were not able to use because our airline cancelled a flight at the last minute). We were very pleased with IMG/i-Travel Insured and have already purchased another travel insurance policy with them using Square Mouth.
I filled a claim and it went well. Still waiting to be contacted by IMG.
Filing claim was simple and I was advised how the process was going and I was given a full claim refund.
