*The overall customer rating is the average of all reviews for the provider since they joined the marketplace.
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.
We reported our delay in receiving our luggage upon our return from our trip on 5/22. They said it will be reviewed.We filed a claim only for the purchase of a coat and toiletries. ($126.01)
I have not gone on my trip due to my wife still undergoing chemotherapy and I tried to cancel my policy and get some sort of refund,but was stiffed by you guys. My trip has been rescheduled and I have taken out a better policy for my later trip with a more understanding competitor.
We are so incredibly sorry to hear about your wife’s illness and wish her a speedy recovery.
While a cash refund wasn't possible because the cancellation request fell outside the policy's standard money-back guarantee window, we always strive to be accommodating. That is why our team previously offered to protect your investment by transferring your full policy credit to your new August travel dates once your wife received medical clearance from her doctor.
The claim submission was easy and our claim was processed quickly and fairly.
Everything was explained during my telephone conservation. Was happy with the transaction.
I needed to see a doctor while in Scotland after getting a serious chest cold on the first day there. I called the 24/7 assistance line and spoke to a person there in order to get information on how to proceed getting a doctor to see me.they took a lot of our information And never called us back. The assistance line was useless . I will never use this insurance company again . A waste of my money and my time . The service was not as advertised .
Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that you were unwell during your trip and that you had this experience.
We take these matters seriously and conducted a detailed quality review to investigate. However, our assistance and customer service teams were unable to locate any call records or communications matching the phone number we have on file for you. It is possible you may have called from a different number, and we truly want to track this down to investigate exactly what happened.

The experience was all good.
The website is easy to use.
This is the only terrible experience I ever had with a travel insurance company.
I cannot summarize the entire story herein, as it is discussed in details in my email exchanges with the company.
I shall just say that my claim was ultimately denied, on the distorted ground that the pre-existing condition exclusion waiver would not apply to my trip loss, despite the language of their policy clearly indicating otherwise.
Tin Leg's insurance policy provisions governing pre-existing conditions unequivocally covered my case, and, as a matter of fact, I had singled out that specific insurance policy exactly for POTENTIAL, not necessary, medical situations arising from such conditions.
I laid the inconsistency of Tin Leg's case bare in a conclusive and irrefutable manner.
I must emphasize that I travel extensively and I frequently take out similar insurance policies. This is the ONLY time in my life I was ever denied an insurance claim.
I could not indict the conduct of Tin Leg enough, and I will make sure the company receives the worst possible publicity worldwide.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We want to clarify why your claim was denied. The Emergency Medical benefit only covers illnesses that first manifest during a trip. Because this illness began prior to your departure, it unfortunately does not qualify. While your policy does include a pre-existing condition waiver, that waiver applies specifically to Trip Cancellation or Interruption benefits. We understand this outcome is frustrating. If you have any additional questions or need further clarification, please feel free to email your claims adjuster directly.
Excellent customer service and excellent coverage. I thank you so much for this. We had a wonderful trip with no problems at all- and peace of mind because of this coverage -thank you very much
The claim was processed according to the policy, and both Tin Leg and Squaremouth handled the process professionally. However, the outcome highlighted a significant gap between how the coverage is presented and how it works in practice.
The policy references up to $500 in baggage coverage, but a damaged suitcase, arguably the most essential travel item, was limited to a $100 payout due to item categorization. While technically correct, this is not how most customers would reasonably interpret that level of coverage when purchasing a policy.
As a frequent traveler and long-time Squaremouth customer (15+ years, 35+ policies), this experience raised concerns about whether the coverage provides meaningful protection in common real-world scenarios. I would strongly encourage others to review the fine print carefully before relying on this benefit.
Thank you for being a valued Squaremouth customer for over 15 years. We truly appreciate your candid feedback regarding the baggage coverage clarity, and we agree that travel insurance needs to be practical for real-world scenarios.
We are happy that we were able to connect with you via email following this review.
Thank you again for your incredible loyalty and for helping us improve the experience for all travelers.
The issue was in purchasing the policy. Even though my husband and I were traveling together most of the time the first week I was solo. I purchased our policy together, as I did not see any explanation that both departure dates and return dates needed to be the same. This should be spelled out. I ended up before our trip started taking out another policy just for him with his dates (they were shorter but I was told he would not be covered because he left home a week after I did) I did talk to a customer service agent before the trip who explained that he would not be covered, and she did a good job following up. A short explanation on your website that all departures and returns need to be exact same date would be helpful to others.
