Tin Leg made it easy to understand and buy insurance for my trip!! I called to ask questions prior to purchasing, they were very friendly and helpful.
Reasonably priced policy for the coverage. Had to file a claim for a delay/cancelled flight home and it was a relatively smooth process through Robin Assist. Took a couple weeks and wasn't an enormous $ amount or complex situation but it only took a few weeks to receive a check.
The claim process was pretty seamless once we provided all the information required. Would use Tin Leg again for our next trip.
Have used this insurer before and found them helpful with questions and the ability to increase coverage as excursions were added before departure.
One concern i discovered is that in a case of "force majure" or a conflict like Iran...the policy doesn't apply. I was not personally impacted but had friends who were. Will consider that in my future plans as to where to travel!
On March 1 my husband had severe abdominal pain and was taken to Bumrungrad International Hospital in Bangkok. He had small bowel surgery on the 3rd and is still in hospital. On March 1 the Admissions Dept sent the records and reports and started a claim. They have been sending daily reports. Tin Leg assigned our case to FGA USA Assistance. They do not communicate well, one email responding to my email just said “Hi”. I am not happy with the service and wish to speak to someone asap. My phone # is 310-780-3312.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We apologize for the communication gaps during your husband's medical emergency. We have alerted the Assistance team, and they will be reaching out to you via phone immediately to address your concerns and provide the support you need.
The representative that helped me purchase my policy was courteous and knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions.
I submitted a claim in January after learning my knee required some rest in recovery. The process has been very slow, and even though I think some of that is my fault, it could be much faster.
Our flights were cancelled and refunded due to the 2/22-23/26 snow storm. We hadn't paid a deposit on our hotel room in the Turks & Caicos because we are returning/repeat guests. So we were not out any money EXCEPT for the travel insurance we purchased last year. It never was actuated because the trip was canceled a day prior to its effective coverage date. You had our money for almost a year and never had to do anything on the policy--which never really went into effect. As old customers, we could have at least received a credit for the premium. Quite disappointing.
We appreciate your feedback. To clarify how the policy works, our protection actually began in May 2025 to cover you for any cancellations prior to departure. Because we provided that coverage for the duration of the year, we cannot offer a refund or credit for the premium at this stage as you are outside the Money Back Guarantee period. We value your loyalty and hope to protect your future travels.
First, I am not certain my experience with Tin Leg would be any different than with any other insurance provider. Having said that, the claim process was made as difficult as possible with many requests for unnecessary documents that went on and on to prolong what should have been a very simple claim for not a lot of money. My elderly mother was hospitalized and released from the hospital to Hospice care which required me to cancel my trip and fly to her home to care for her. She passed away two weeks later. The Hospital release documents and Hospice documents which outlined her conditions were not enough for Tin Leg. Even after I provided a document from the hospice doctor that she had passed away I was still getting requests for additional documentation for doctor evaluations. This is in addition to multiple receipts, card statements, travel provider statements, bank statements, copies of identification, travel confirmations, on and on. I don't think anyone really looks at any of the documents that are requested and everything is just a tactic to delay payments and wear down the customer to ultimately give up on the claim. In this case, I felt the behavior of Tin Leg was very cruel given the circumstances and it was not until I refused to send further documents and threatened to report them to authorities that they finally approved my claim.
I felt that Tin Leg kept asking for information that was really not needed to process the claim. Especially when they demanded proof that the airline decided to reschedule our flight several months before the scheduled fly date. Also refusing to accept my credit card records as proof that the airline increased my baggage fee when they rebooked our flights after our original flight was cancelled due to mechanical issues. Not exactly sure why it went from $40 to $45, but can guess it was because our rebooked flight had 3 legs and one was with a different airline. For $5 bucks I’m not going to fight the claim, but really felt I’d provided proof of the change.
