  • Travelex Insurance Services policy: Travel Basic

    Travelex is running into issues in staffing. The wait times exceeded 30 minutes to square away some simple adjustments and clarification questions prior to the trip. This section is for Travelex and I think Squaremouth should make it more clear to have things stated that we would need to contact Travelex directly for issues.

    The company representative was helpful in helping us choose our policy. They explained the different options and answered our questions. Very helpful and thorough in going over policy options and making sure we got the policy that best suited our needs. Thankfully we didn't need to use the policy, but we were glad that we had it just in case.

    I had no voice service overseas. I emailed the companies email address 4x without a single response. I finally messaged through Facebook and got a response, however they weren't able to help and had customer service call me after I explained several times I needed to communicate via email or what's app or other social media platform. When finally returning to the states, they ensured me on messenger that someone would call that day. 2 days later I had to call myself.

    Pleased to have a "cancel for any reason" policy, even though I ended up not needing it, as everything worked out safely.

    Travelex Insurance Services policy: Flight Insure Plus

    When I submitted my claim via the on-line upload page, I never got any kind of confirmation that my claim was received. I did not know the status of the claim until I received the EOB about six weeks later.
    Suggestion: an automated email confirmation that the claim was received would have made me feel confident that it was in the works. I know I could have called to check on it, but I really did not want to wait on hold just for someone to tell me that.

    I wanted to upgrade the membership because I added a few things on my trip. I tried calling the phone number and I was on hold for more than 1 hour. I WILL NEVER AGAIN SIGN UP WITH TRAVELEX. I'm glad NOTHING happened to us and we went on the trip. However if something happened, I would not be able to be compensated fully because I was unable to add. I can only understand the NIGHTmare if I ever have to claim during a trip overseas. Here I was waiting a LONG time just for regular customer service, IF i had to make a claim IT would probably be next to impossible. I felt like they just took my money. CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS!! never again.

    I would recommend letting ppl make changes to their policy online vs. having to phone in. Wait times were terrible just to make a small change that most companies allow you to do online. Until that issue is resolved, I will be hesitant to purchase from Travelex again.

    no issues, easy to document/upload, just wish process was faster

    Travelex Insurance Services policy: Travel Basic

    My outgoing flight got cancelled and I had to rebook. I took my trip 4 days after originally scheduled and tried to change the coverage dates with Travelex. They took almost a week to respond to my request and asked me to send the updated itinerary. I did so. 5 days later, they asked me to send me an updated itinerary. I responded that I already did and they wanted me to resend it and then jump through a bunch of hoops. All they really wanted was to ensure that I would not file a claim. Well, I will not be using them for travel insurance again.

    Thank you for contacting us on Squaremouth.com. Travelex Insurance makes every effort to review all concerns from our insureds.

    We have contacted our Customer Solutions Team Lead (CSTL) and have been advised that the link you provided with the updated itinerary only linked to the Delta website and not the itinerary. The CSTL did attempt to contact Delta Airlines Customer Service for the updated itinerary and was unsuccessful. As the link is proprietary to your Delta access, we would like to ask you to provide the screenshot of the new itinerary so we can update your insurance coverage or you can print to PDF your new itinerary and send it to the email below.

    It is important to remember that insurance is highly regulated, and documentation is required to change the travel dates on your policy, after the original departure date.

    If you have any questions or if you are able to submit the updated itinerary, please contact Customer Solutions and refer to your Confirmation# at 1-800-819-9004 or by email at customersolutions@travelexinsurance.com.

    Sincerely,
    Travelex Insurance Services, Inc.

    Pre-travel emails and information were excellent and made me feel connected to the company and more comfortable about the protection.
