Tin Leg Travel Insurance Reviews

I wanted to start my claim while still onboard my cruise in case additional information was needed. It would have been easier to get while on the cruise. Hopefully, what the concierge sent to you is adequate and this claim will be easily completed and I will be reimbursed asap.

Fortunately I did not have to use the insurance. But it was good to know it is available if needed, both internationally and domestically. The largest cost of the policies id for coverage of the trip itself, not the medical coverage and transportation.

If you only need the medical and transportation portion then the cost is no more than a good meal. I'll always get this as a minimum...

It was easy to get insurance and it was a good value!

In the coverage part of the policy it states that meals and local travel are not covered. I didn't even check that because with a travel interruption those are the first costs incurred. Having used travel insurance before for this very thing I was unpleasantly surprised to learn that.

Never took trip!!!

So far so good but the claim hasn’t been approved and it’s a legitimate claim covered by my plan, so we’ll see how you all handle it.

Very helpful staff members of TinLeg explained all the details about the Travel Insurance Policy. We have used TinLeg travel policies earlier during our travels.

Easy to purchase.

The following explanation relates to Tin Leg request number 117481.

I had a medical issue that became significantly worse in the weeks leadiing up to my trip. On the advise of my doctor, I chose not to travel. This was on February 10, roughly 12 days prior to my departure date. I preliminarily contacted Tin Leg on February 7 to understand what the policies and procedures would be should I need to cancel. Then, given the short time frame between my decision and the departure date, I contacted the tour company and the airlines directly myself. In the case of the airline (Icelantic Air), I was refunded all my payment less a small service charge--refund was $1,340 and original cost was $1,367. I then contacted Nordic Visitor, the tour organizer. They also refunded me the majority of my payment. Roughly $504 of my payment was held by the tour company. The remainder, $4,331, was refunded to me. The money held by Nordic Visitor could be applied to another trip should I decide to travel with them in future. I have no plans at present to do so.

So the final cost to me of my cancellation was approxiately $27 for the airfare and $504 for the tour. And, of course the $694 paid to Tin Leg for the travel insurance that was, in the end, not used. I find it rather ironic that the insurance cost me more than the forfeited money when workng directly with the tour and airline companies. I will need to keep this in mind for future travels.

Would there be any value in completing a claim at this point?

I have used tin leg many times and I am happy with their products and service when making a claim
