  • Tin Leg policy: Luxury

    We have purchased Tin Leg insurance for several trips, but never needed to file a claim until our most recent trip out of the country. One of us needed medical attention on our trip and submitted a claim to cover the expense. The claim process was quick and easy. We will continue to make Tin Leg our first choice for travel insurance.

    Although we had a legitimate trip interruption due to a flat tire, with no spare provided in the car rental, and were delayed by more than 20 hours, lost the money on a nonrefundable hotel room and spent the night in the car rental because no assistance could be provided, this did not fit your definition of trip interruption, so we feel our money on the policy was wasted and we had a false sense of security by having it.

    We had a claim that was legitimately an enforceable trip interruption. Once claim was submitted, we received an email stating that there was a very good chance it would not be paid because it technically did not fit their definition of trip interruption or trip delay. I did not pursue further, because their language was such that it was going to be a waste of time to continue. Fortunately, we had purchased an Allianz policy with airline. Although their definitions were the same as TinLeg, they paid the claim quickly. Your insurance company is in the business of collecting premiums rather than taking care of the customer. This was a small claim.

    I had issues with a previous claim from IMG. They were unprofessional and oblivious to the issue. I complained through Squaremouth and the claim settled quickly thereafter. The Squaremouth mediator was fabulous. So I decided to use squaremouth again but a different company. I had a wonderful trip with no issues but had the peace of mind that I was covered if something came up. Thank you!

    We had to make a claim when my 94-year-old mother-in-law was placed on hospice a few weeks before we were to take our trip. I was pleased with how quickly each piece of our claim correspondence was answered. I was pleased with the outcome. However, it was difficult to understand the specific information needed in the beginning to process my claim. For example, they asked for an itinerary. Our trip was self-planned, so we didn't have one, as we would have with a tour group. But I sent them my list of what we were going to do each day. What they really needed was all of our confirmations (airlines, hotels, etc.) that had nothing to do with our claim of a specific house rental deposit that could not be refunded when we cancelled the entire trip. It took a tremendous amount of verification to get just a $470 claim paid. The biggest difficulty was getting all of her medical records for the past SIX months to them -- which I was not able to send; they had to be sent from a physician's office. That turned out to be quite complicated. In effect, we recouped the amount we paid for the insurance but spent a tremendous amount of time doing so.

    Trip cancelled because flights were cancelled to Japan by United Airlines as one of the biggest Typhoons of the season hit Tokyo! I notified your (24 hour emergency) customer service 48 hours before insurance was due to kick in…just wanted to move payment out to different dates when we reset up the same itinerary; which consequently has been done. Underwriting, through your representative, said they did this doing Covid, but not anymore!! BS!!! The cruise company and the airlines reset everything for us, but my travel insurance is/was a joke!! If I would have purchased the travel insurance through the cruise company and signed a waiver for “no claims” during the first cancelled period, they would have refunded the money back, or set up new dates for us at no charge; just simply shifted the dates. To summarize, calling in advance of utilizing your travel insurance at all, in an emergency cancellation situation, at no fault our ours, and just wanting to change dates of the same trip once they had been chosen, I was told could no longer be done!! So, the only thing that was forfeited with multiple hotels, first class air, and a 14 day cruise, was the TRAVEL INSURANCE…simply a joke!

    It is only fair and reasonable that either the money is completed refunded or credited for our new dates to the same itinerary as you were notified 48 hours in advance, we did not use the insurance, and more importantly for you, your competition offers this as a standard business practice; why would anyone ever utilize your travel insurance when this is available? I will inform all my fellow travelers anyway I can, socially, personally, etc. of this ridiculous policy if not rectified!

    I hope you enjoy the $1700 that you needed so badly to uphold a ridiculous underwriting scheme! Tin Leg is a joke, and Squaremouth needs to be rated the same for representing this company and their offerings!

    Response from Tin Leg

    Thank you for reaching out to share your experience, and I sincerely understand the frustration with the unforeseen events that impacted your trip. While we understand how challenging situations like this can be, I would like to clarify our policy in such circumstances.
    Unfortunately, we are unable to pre-approve requests for policy date changes without defined future travel dates. This is to ensure the policy remains active and valid according to the terms set at the time of purchase. As explained during your interaction with our representative, we did offer the option to provide us with new defined departure and return dates by August 15, allowing us to move your policy to reflect the rescheduled itinerary. However, this option was declined.
    Please also note that our policy includes a money-back guarantee, which allows for cancellations and refunds within the first 14 days of purchase, provided no claim has been filed and the departure date has not yet occurred. Regrettably, your policy was outside of this period.
    We strive to provide clear and transparent options, and while we respect your perspective, the terms in place aim to provide clarity and consistency for all customers.
    If you have any further questions or would like to discuss this matter in more detail, we’re happy to assist.

    I am happy to have the insurance and hope I don't need it. It provides me with peace of mind. All the representatives I spoke with were helpful and informative.

    I couldn't believe how much information I had to provide in order to collect approximately $16 for a meal because of a delayed flight. Makes me wonder how many hurdles I would have to go through if I ever had a large claim.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand that it may have felt excessive to provide a lot of information for a smaller claim, such as your meal reimbursement for the delayed flight. Our goal is to ensure that each claim, regardless of its size, is handled fairly and in accordance with policy terms.

    While we strive to make the process as smooth as possible, certain documentation is necessary to validate claims and ensure proper compensation. This same attention to detail applies to all claims, large or small, as it allows us to thoroughly review and process them accurately.

    We appreciate your understanding, and if you ever have a larger claim in the future, please know that our team is here to support you through the process and answer any questions you may have.
