Nice to work with but I had no claim.
So far so good. I have just filed a claim and it is in process. The customer service person was very helpful and the claim form is clear and easy to use. Hopefully my claim won’t be processed soon and resolved well.
The representative I spoke with to set up my policy was very kind and helpful. Luckily, I didn't have to make a claim, but if I had, I am confident the process would have been smooth.
My interaction with Squaremouth was very professional. The staff were very understanding provided me with a response in a timely manner. Thank to this awesome team at Squaremouth.

I knew going into this trip that all some parties that were traveling with us were coming down with COVID so I purchased this praying I wouldn’t need it. My 14 year daughter ended up being able to attend all of the activities, I however ended up having to come home but according to my my case manager, I won’t be able to file a claim bc I didn’t attend the doctor until the next day. Unsure what they expected me to do over the weekend. I’ve had to utilize insurance once before recently bc of Helene and it was such an easy process and a few years ago when my daughter got COVID during a trip, again an extremely easy process. This was a waste of time and money.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are sorry to hear about the challenges you faced, especially during such a difficult time. We understand how disappointing it must have been to cut your trip short.
In reviewing your claim, we want to clarify that Trip Interruption coverage requires that a diagnosis be made by a licensed physician at the time of the interruption during your trip. In this case, it appears that since the medical consultation took place after your scheduled return date, unfortunately, the criteria for Trip Interruption coverage could not be met as the policy does require medical documentation from a licensed physician at the location in order to process claims for medical-related cancellations or interruptions. We understand your frustration with needing to submit medical documents to support your claim. Due to insurance regulations, certain documentation is required. We understand that this may seem strict, but these guidelines are in place to maintain fairness and consistency for all our customers.
We regret that this situation has caused you inconvenience and hope this explanation clarifies the policy language.
So far so good, I was pleased that they answered their phone promptly and their rep Tyler was very helpful. I started the claim online and submitted as much of the documentation as I could. I was concerned with questions regarding other insurance such as Medicare etc, the reason I chose their policy was because it’s medical coverage was “primary”. Hopefully I will be able to do a follow up survey and report quick resolution to my claim.
Your statement that the majority of your claims are being handled within 15 days is definitely exaggerated. I filed a relatively simple claim on August 26th as I could not go on the trip because of a medical condition. However, my claim has not progressed beyond the initial filing although I submitted all necessary paperwork with the claim. Additionally, my interaction with the customer service rep that handles the claim has been minimal. Also, reviews that have less than a 5 Star rating selected create error messages and cannot be submitted. Considering the amount of money I paid for the policy, this type of customer service is more than disappointing and I would not recommend Tin Leg to any of my friends.

Unfortunately, a medical condition prevented me from going on the planned trip. Luckily, I had travel insurance through Tin Leg and they provided me with a refund.

We’d like to clarify that claims are finalized within 15 days of receiving all required documentation. In your case, some additional documentation was necessary to move forward.

This is a ridiculous policy. I bought the policy as an adjunct to a seminar I plan to attend - NOT A VACATION! The seminar was canceled. The organizers of the seminar gave us a full refund. Why I couldn’t get a refund on a policy I purchased almost a year before the scheduled departure date is wrong. If a policy is purchased along with trip insurance and the reason for purchasing the policy was to attend a seminar then it should be redeemable if the seminar is canceled. Not just if the flight itself is cancelled on the scheduled day of departure. I have bought policies with you before, but I won’t again. Nor with the parent company! I simply lost $700.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We understand how frustrating it must be to face unexpected costs, especially when your seminar was canceled.
All of our policies come with a built-in money-back guarantee, allowing for a full refund if canceled within the policy’s specified review period. This period provides a chance to assess the coverage and make adjustments, including cancellations, if plans change. Once this window has passed, the policy remains active, and the underwriter assumes the risk. When a travel insurance policy is purchased, coverage begins immediately for specific unforeseen events that could disrupt your travel plans, even if your trip hasn’t started yet. For example, if an unexpected event—such as illness, injury, or other unforeseen issues—arises after the policy is active but before your scheduled trip, you may be eligible to file a claim based on that coverage.
This early coverage helps protect you against certain risks from the moment the policy is purchased, providing peace of mind that you’re protected, not only during your trip but in the weeks or months leading up to it. This is why a policy is considered active right after purchase, as the underwriter is taking on the risk from that point forward, regardless of your actual departure date.
We hope this clarification provides some context around why policies can remain active even for events outside of travel cancellations, such as a seminar cancellation. If you have any additional questions about coverage options in the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Days before leaving we were in a hurricane and left ahead of it. Named Milton and ordered to evacuate. Agent could not tell us if we came home to protect house if trip was covered due to not knowing what inhabitable meant… terrible! Left us in a total stressful situation not knowing coverage after paying $1200!!!!!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand how stressful it must have been to face an evacuation due to Hurricane Milton, and we apologize for any additional frustration caused during this challenging time.
Our customer service team strives to provide clear and accurate information based on the details outlined in your policy’s certificate. However, it’s important to note that our agents are not licensed claims adjusters and, therefore, cannot make determinations about coverage or guarantees regarding claim outcomes. Coverage for events like evacuation and returning home depends on specific policy terms, including the definition of "inhabitable," which is ultimately reviewed by the claims department during the claim's review process.
