    After being required to jump through numerous “hoops” and supplying multiple documents my claim was denied because required testing did not occur until I returned home. This was because these tests were beyond the scope of what was available on the cruise ship. I am glad that my insurance covered much of the cost or I would be out of pocket a great deal of money. I certainly will be looking elsewhere for my future travel insurance needs.

    Purchasing a Tin Leg policy was easy. However, when I submitted a $50 claim for a doctor visit in Australia, it was denied, because I was not on a "Covered Trip" as defined by departure and return dates. I am an airline retiree and as such I am flying "Standby", meaning no fixed departure or return dates, as I have no guaranteed seat. As long as I can provide evidence (which I have with boarding passes) that I traveled within the policy period, I should be covered. Instead, I got the runaround with every effort being made not to honor my claim. It is important for the members of the travel industry who travel "Standby" to be aware of the "Covered Trip" definition...........

    We're sorry to hear about your experience with your Tin Leg claim and that it didn't have a more favorable outcome. We understand your frustration, especially given the circumstances of your standby travel.

    As you noted, the policy requires a "Covered Trip" with defined departure and return dates. Unfortunately, because your travel was on standby and lacked fixed return dates, it doesn't meet the policy's definition of a covered trip. This is a key requirement of this specific policy, and we understand that it doesn't align with the realities of standby travel.

    We recognize that many travel industry professionals travel on standby, and we want to help you find coverage that better suits your needs in the future. Our team of travel insurance experts at Squaremouth specializes in matching travelers with the right policies. They can help you explore options that accommodate the flexibility of standby travel and don't require fixed return dates. Squaremouth is happy to discuss your specific requirements and help you find a policy that provides the coverage you need.

    Tin Leg policy: Gold

    Square Mount and Tin Leg were both recommended. Tin Leg provided the coverage I was looking for and were very responsive and helpful in answering my questions. Buying trip insurance (in this case, I purchased cancel for any reason) adds additional cost but gives peace of mind. Another passenger on my tour suffered an emergency and had to be taken to hospital in Egypt. With no insurance, their out of pocket expense was $4000 per day for 3 days. Many seniors don't realize that Medicare does not cover you in a foreign country. I am grateful we did not have to file a claim, but I would never travel overseas without insurance.

    Did not have to use the policy so never talk to anyone. Have no idea how the policy would have been had I had to use it. Seems silly to give a review for something I never used. This review process would be better served if given to people who actually use the policies.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your point about not having used the policy and therefore not being able to speak to the claims process. Our review request was actually focused on your experience purchasing the policy online, specifically how easy and straightforward it was to navigate the website and complete the purchase.
    We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review even without having used the policy itself. Your feedback about the review process is valuable, and we'll certainly take it into consideration as we look for ways to improve how we gather customer feedback. We want to ensure we're asking for reviews at the most relevant points in the customer journey.
    If you have any feedback specifically about the online purchasing process – for example, were the policy details clear, was the website easy to use, was the checkout process smooth – we would still be very interested in hearing about it.

    The process was slowed because the documentation asked for by Tin Leg was not completely listed the first time, so an additional period of time lapsed prior to payment. The issue was resolved, but the time lapse is an often-described tactic of insurance carriers. I was satisfied with the eventual outcome, but it was a no-brainer for a small amount of money.

    Fortunately we didn't need to file a claim so I have little to comment on.

    The purchase process was easy, the explanation of benefits clear. However, I did have a difficulty to understand how to choose the coverage for the cruise since it has multiple destinations. When called, I was walked through where and how to look for clarification for any questions. I requested to make minor changes , and it was made instantly. I did not have to file a claim, luckily, so I cannot comment on the fulfillment of promises

    They make you jump through hoops. They could not open the files I sent. Pain in the butt to file a claim.

If you need assistance converting your files, we'd be happy to guide you through the process. Please don't hesitate to contact us directly at 844-240-1233 or email claims@tinleg.com

    Very good choice of different travel insurance options. Be sure to select any special activities like snorkeling in your coverage to cover these activities. Overall, I would recommend Squaremouth!
