*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.
I gave up on pursuing my claim because you were asking me to prove a negative which is nearly impossible. Try to prove that Airbnb did not refund me a night’s stay? Huh? Prove that a flight was cancelled? How do I do that? Never will I use Tin Leg again. Will go back to AIG where they try to help you recover your losses not set up roadblocks to doing so.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the frustrating experience you had with the claim process.
I have discussed your claim with our claim team to gather more information about your claim. I understand that your claim is still in process and we require additional documents. In reference to you needing to "prove a negative"- your Airbnb booking confirmation which shows the cancellation terms and conditions would suffice. We apologize if that was not made clear. Other documents needed include your original flight itinerary, as well as contacting the airline directly to obtain the airline explanation. This is a common request to the airlines for travel insurance claims and they should be able to assist fairly easily.
I understand your frustration with needing to submit multiple documents to support your claim. Due to insurance regulations, certain documentation is required. Rest assured, we will do our best to expedite the process.
Your claim adjuster is available to assist with any questions in the meantime. We appreciate your patience and hope to make the process smoother for you moving forward.
Purchasing the insurance and getting questions answered went smoothly. Since I didn't need to make a claim, this was my only contact.
Incomplete claim
This is the 6th time I have purchased travel insurance through Squaremouth, and the 3rd or 4th policy with Tin Leg, who is now my go-to carrier for travel insurance. It is enormously reassuring to know that I am supported by an outfit that will, should I need to file a claim (as I have once), facilitate and expedite a fair and smooth resolution to my challenges and, when I do not need to file a claim (as was the case in this most recent travel experience), I am able to enjoy my travel and return home safely without ever having to think about the possible crisis of financial or other stressors that might have presented themselves unexpectedly. I traveled at all times in full confidence of my insurance choice, which has its own great value.
I filed a claim because our trip, a cruise, was cancelled after two days. I called TinLeg when arriving home and the agent was very helpful with the preliminary information needed.
I have not gotten into the claims process beyond the above, nor talked with a claims specialist yet.
The process is just beginning.
Squaremouth customer service provided helpful and informative guidance to help me select the travel policy that met my needs. In comparison to other travelers I spoke to, I believe I paid a lot less for my Tin Leg policy
and was comfortable with the coverage I chose.
Gratefully, I did not have to make a claim.
I believe that the only useful reviews of insurance companies are from customers who actually had to file claims. Their experiences of dealing with the claim process and how easy or hard it was to resolve the claim is what is important. I gave Tin Leg a 5 star review of the pre-trip experience but readers should not use that as any indication as to whether Tin Leg is a good insurance company since I did not submit a claim.
Answered questions before we departed. Had a great trip and had no need to contact them again.
I'm still waiting to hear back about my claim. I got home on June 16 from my trip and filed my claim shortly after that. I'm surprised I'm still waiting to hear from someone. Is this normal?
Adjusted the policy 2 times to cover additional time and expense associated with the trip. Both evolutions were easy and customer service was great.
