    all the process of purchasing the travel insurance was easy and smooth, it gave us peace of mind during the whole trip to Peru.
    We didn't need any medical assistance, but it was a good feeling that we had the travel insurance with John Hancock.

    We were paid a minimal amount for our claim. We telephoned multiple times to contest the amount. Our calls have not been returned and the person we need to speak with is never available.

    This is the first time I have purchased independent travel insurance. It was easy and will do it again.

    However, upon return from my trip I contacted John Hancock due to delays, missed connections and expenses incurred due to issues beyond my control. Spoke to a very nice young man who promised to send me the paperwork to start a claim. Its now been 16 days and no sign of the paperwork. So far, on the John Hancock end, I'm not impressed.

    I do not think the question about pre-departure is a fair one unless you add a question about post-departure experience. I didn't have any experience pre but did post. So giving a low score as sort of an average.

    My first call ended up
    In a very long wait and call back. While waiting I tried to file online and the system would not take some required info and did not allow me to save a draft, instead erased it. I called back three days later and was helped by Kevin in setting up claim number. Now I must wait up to 10 days until claim is visible to me online. I find this ridiculous

    I called and started a claim because our flight was cancelled due to a blizzard in Colorado. I have never received the paperwork yet by mail or e-mail. I was on a long hold, asked about what we needed to file the claim and she was not quite sure. So, no I am not very happy right now. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Horrible, DO NOT USE THEM. Called from the hotel as soon as our flight was cancelled, started a claim, got a claim number.
    Called again when I got home to follow up on the claim, I called the same number on the bottom of the card that I called to start the claim.
    No one knew what I was talking about, So I called the other numbers on the information that they sent me, they say no claim was filed and started a new claim. I faxed the paperwork and a copy of my plain ticked, no response.
    Called again, they said someone would call me by the end of the day, no call, no email. I tried calling the claim adjuster, no response.
    Now it's been since February22 that I have been dealing with this and still no response untill today.
    Now they want information that I have already sent, So Frustrating!!!!!

    First, I would like to compliment Kevin who assisted me on the phone when I called the 24 hour assistance line on 1/29/23. We had just learned that my husband's father had passed away and we would not be able to embark on our cruise ship. He was very sympathetic and gave me clear instructions what to do when we returned home and the documents that would be needed. He is to be commended for his excellent customer service.
    However, it has been a very difficult process trying to submit a claim online. Answered all the information, attached ALL the required forms, agreed to the policies at the end, typed my name and marked no to the robot......still would not let me submit the claim or allow me to save the draft so I spent a lot of time attempting to do it numerous times. It has been frustrating...... I spoke with someone on the phone 2/21 who took down some information but now I have to wait to get an email that will allow me to upload my documents. I tried the upload portal but that wouldn't accept anything either. So, it is only the website that I have had difficulty with at this point. All humans that I have talked with have been very helpful Thank you. Linda

    Called before the trip to request a Covid coverage letter. The agent was very nice and I received the letter within 24 hrs.
