Tin Leg customers praise the provider’s customer service, especially when making changes to their coverage or trip details. However, some have expressed frustration with the claims process, particularly regarding the amount of documentation required.
Helpful in choosing the coverage we needed. Contacted customer service when an injury occurred. They instructed us to seek treatment, save receipts and file a claim upon returning to US.
I had to repurpose this policy due to cancellation of the originally-planned trip. Squaremouth made this easy.
I suppose you really don't know how good a policy or the support is until you need to make a claim. My trip went smoothly so as far as I can tell.... everything was fine. I do wonder if I fully understood what was covered, and how, in the event I was positive for COVID on my pre return to the US test. Luckily I was negative but I did wonder... I suppose there's another chance to find out as I have another trip scheduled for May-June 2022.
Quick and easy to use and good price
Applying for the insurance was simple and easy. My call to the 24 hour assistance to confirm what my insurance policy covered.
There were no issues collecting on our cancellation of the Norway trip. A medical issue prevented us from traveling. A letter from the Doctor and proof of non-refundable expenses were all that was required. The claim was promptly paid.
Love how Squaremouth provides me with an easy way to compare policies and provides a guarantee of customer satisfaction. I'm able to quickly evaluate and purchase a policy for peace of mind, especially during Covid uncertainty. Have never filed a claim, but I think that's the good news. Never needed to file one; trips all went well.
Excellent.Trip went smoothly with the great satisfaction of knowing we had such great coverage.
Disappointed in Tin Leg. Travel plans to help aunt suffering with cancer were cancelled when she passed away a week before my flight. The non refundable airfare became a flight credit. Airline will not allow me to refuse the flight credit as suggested by Tin Leg. Although my insurance claim is valid, TinLeg will not reimburse because a flight credit is considered a refund. So, airline sells me “non refundable ticket” and provides flight credit, Tin Leg acknowledges a valid claim but indicates a credit is a refund. It’s a perpetual circle of semantics and lack of cooperation from either side that puts me at a loss.
I’ve discovered that travel insurance serves no benefit to the traveler and I’ll be taking a flight to nowhere for the sake of using a credit and wasting money.

Initially I was unhappy with Tin Leg's policy when they explained that my airline credit was actually a refund even though the airline was saying it wasn't a refund. The airline (American) refused to cancel my credit even at my request. Tin Leg came to the rescue and worked with me to obtain a refund for the flight I was unable to take because of the death of my aunt. They communicated with me via email daily and responded to my questions with suggestions about how to approach the airline. After I exhausted all my options, Tin Leg provided a document for me to sign certifying that I would not use the credit provided by the airline under penalty of insurance fraud. Shortly thereafter I received a check refunding my entire fare for unused travel.
I was impressed with the manner in which Tin Leg worked through the stalemate and continued to communicate with me. They did not ignore my concerns and offered answers/solutions to my concerns. The entire process of filing a claim was solved within a two week period or less. I will use Tin Leg Travel Insurance in the future because of the manner in which they worked to solve this problem for me, the speed in which they responded and the continued communication throughout the process.
Due to new Covid variant my flight got cancelled. I contacted Tin Leg and they immediately responded and advised me what to do and set up a telephone interview regarding my claim this Saturday.
