Arch RoamRight Travel Insurance Reviews

First time using RoamRight, but it won't be my last! Due to terrorist activity, our cruise ship changed its itinerary ~ 60 days before the cruise which necessitated a revision in already purchased air travel tickets.

RoamRight was true to their policy without any "gotchas". Once I had gathered and faxed them all the required receipts, etc., they sent me a check for the full amount that the change cost me. The process was painless albeit a little slow compared to my experience with another insurer for a claim several years ago. Nevertheless, the check was in my hands within 21 days of the claim being presented.

It would help to make it more clear that when one applies for coverage including pre-existing conditions that it is required to include the cost of the trip including the flights. I was told by the RoamRight agent that the pre-existing coverage would be invalid if flights weren't covered. I don't understand why I must cover the flights if I choose not to include the price of flights and know I won't get reimbursed for them if I have to cancel. Even on nonrefundable flights the airlines I have used will let you use the fare minus a penalty to re-book a flight within a year.

Two previous claims were processed very quickly

I filed a claim and I haven't heard from anyone at all in one week.

For the second time I have found the insurance company to be the best value for the money

Right before I left I couldn't find the policy
I called and talked to Samantha
In less than a minute she found it and emailed it to me
She's top-notch

The entire process of inquiry, purchase and initiating a claim were smooth and flawless. A claim has been filed and , so far, that experience has been efficient and courteous.

roam right was avaiable at the 24 hours number and provided reasonable contact information in case of emergency

We also purchased a policy last year for our trip to Italy. We had to file a claim for trip interruption due to weather. We were totally reimbursed for our losses. We chose Roam Right again because they were so easy to work with last year. This year we unfortunately have to file a claim for medical costs. Hopefully, we will have anther good experience.

I didn't need to use the service while traveling, thankfully. Everything was fine, although I think the company would prove themselves a 5 star one if they were to be more proactive in providing clear instructions as to how to navigate certain emergencies or care if necessary in the countries where I was traveling. Giving them 5 stars simply because I knew they existed, yet never had to use them, doesn't seem 'earned' to me. What I did feel while traveling was a lack of certainty regarding just exactly how to handle everything if something were to go wrong. To me, "insurance' also means insuring a person's confidence and informing them before anything has occurred.
