Purchasing the insurance was a nice experience and very easy.
Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with breast cancer before our scheduled trip. I have already had one surgery an another is scheduled for next week.
We had to cancel our trip and will try again at a later date.
We thank you for your assistance and will send paper work. Soon
Thank you,
Joan. Richards

I submitted a claim to cancel my trip due to hurricane at that location and have heard nothing more I am really dissatisfied. I have used Roam Right repeatedly for vacations but I am starting to question if I will again. My claim was submitted before hurricane Irma.

Prior to my recent trip, I had never before purchased trip insurance. The Squaremouth website allowed me to research and compare several insurance providers. I selected RoamRight and was not disappointed. Hurricane Irma caused a major trip interruption and forced me to file a claim. RoamRight handled my claim very quickly. Their customer service personnel were always helpful and professional. I would definitely select RoamRight insurance for my next trip.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear your trip was affected by Hurricane Irma, but happy to hear we were able to make the claims process simple for you. We hope you keep is in mind when it’s time to plan for your next trip.
While I did not need to file a claim with RoamRight, I was happy to have coverage in case of any problems.
Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear your trip went well. We hope you keep us in mind when it’s time to plan your next trip.
This insurance was easy to use and the customer service was great!
Everything was simple and uncomplicated. We didn’t need lots of medical coverage but most other companies only offered policies with extensive med coverages. Very competitive pricing.
We had to make a change to extend the dates of coverage and this was handled in about 30 seconds. I assure you this isn’t the case with some other insurers.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are very happy to hear you found coverage that best fit your needs. We look forward to helping protect all your future trips.
So far, so good. We are in the process of filing the claim now.
First time to file a claim due to trip interruption and delay. The claims rep was professional and resolution was handled without incident. I will use the carrier in future trips.
This is the second time we've used Squaremouth, and I like having the ability to specify the coverage I want and compare policies. I also appreciate that you follow up afterwards to make sure the insurance companies handle claims appropriately.
Review Updated: 11/04/2017
This was our first claim and only the second time we had purchased travel insurance. Roamright agents whom I spoke with on the phone were friendly and helpful, and it was very easy to file a claim online. I got an immediate confirmation that my claim had been received, with the name of the processor who would be handling it. It took about a month to process our claim, but our airline's cancellation of service to our home airport coincided with three major tropical storms that must have generated a huge number of claims, so I think that was reasonable. We received a check for the full cost of the additional flight and taxi fares that resulted from having to fly to New York instead of Chicago on airBerlin and then get another flight home. We were very satisfied and plan to purchase travel insurance from Roamright for future trips.
If a no star rating was available, I would have chosen it.
When I got ill on my trip with a very bad cough and terrible diarrhea, we were passed on by Roamright to their international "service," On Call International. They could not have been less helpful. They sent me a 5-page form, written in English (we were in Portugal), that had to be completed by a local doctor. The doctor I had seen first was out of town and so called a doctor through the hotel. She could not provide all the vitals required on the form and had to be begged to sign it at all, saying that she couldn't attest to the fact that I was fit to travel not knowing what unseen condition I might have. She finally checked that box and filled in the rest. On Call refused to accept the form because she did not fill in my temperature, etc. Meanwhile, I was getting sicker and sicker. The next day I went to the hospital emergency and, after hours waiting in a series of waiting rooms, some filled with very ill and dying patients, the doctors there refused to fill out and sign the 5-page form. Fortunately, the doctor I had originally seen returned to Lisbon and filled out the form. On Call refused to ticket a flight for my wife to travel with me, saying that she should buy a ticket ($3000) and claim it on our trip interruption. We decided not to take a chance that Roamright would come through (good idea, see below) and I returned alone, using wheelchairs to get me from plane to plane. I could hardly stand and the day after I got home my doctor sent me to the emergency room. I was completely dehydrated and diagnosed with walking pneumonia, c. difficile infection, and thrush. After weeks of treatment and a tentative recovery, I relapsed and was hospitalized for 3 ½ days. I am now 4 ½ months out from returning on my trip and still not completely back to full health.
I filed a claim for trip interruption. It was partly promptly paid. Why partly? I discovered that Roamright's trip interruption doesn't cover air travel, only land and water. So, my return flight from Portugal as well as the unused round-trip flight to Morocco I had planned to take from/to Portugal were not reimbursed. Neither would a $3000 return flight for my wife—recommended by On Call—have been reimbursed. The medical claims portion of my trip has been a nightmare—waiting for my health insurance to deal with it first (required by Roamright) and then not being fully reimbursed for all items covered by Roamright's policy. After numerous phone calls to the claim adjuster, who repeatedly didn't call me back, I am still left with a small portion unreimbursed. They win—I give up.
Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us.
We are sorry to hear about your illness, and we wish you a quick recovery.
In the case of medical evacuation, our emergency assistance service’s top priority is to get you home safely. Because not all of your vitals were provided on the initial form, On Call International could not verify that you were medically fit to fly. They will not authorize for someone to travel unless they are certain it is safe to do so.
Additionally, neither On Call nor RoamRight will pay upfront for a traveling companion’s return flight in the case of a medical evacuation. This ticket must be bought by the traveler and a claim must be filed in order to be considered for reimbursement. Your wife’s return flight would have been covered under trip interruption. If additional expenses were incurred for your wife’s return flight, please file a claim with that total so that our claims department can review.
As for the unused plan tickets, under RoamRight’s trip interruption coverage, unused plane tickets are not covered. As described in the Description of Coverage, only unused land and water transportation tickets are eligible for reimbursement.
Also, RoamRight is a secondary provider for medical coverage. In order to properly adjudicate the claim, travelers must first file with their primary insurance. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, most travel insurance policies, regardless of provider, work this way.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact our claims department at claims@roamright.com or by phone at 855-762-6252.
