Travelex Travel Insurance Reviews

Nice to have the coverage in case we needed it. We DID get COVID on the trip but fortunately we did not need any significant medical care. Good value, glad we did not need it.

The filing a claim experience was ok. I just wish the process is a lot quicker and the updates is consistent.

I filed a claim a while ago because I could not make my trip. I submitted all documents and never heard from travelex. They claim to review and contact within 6 weeks but it’s been longer and I haven’t heard anything.

I requested documented proof that my medical coverage included Covid care for entry to Chile and received a letter to that effect promptly. The claim process was online and seemed a bit cumbersome. The claim is a little over $100. I trust it will be resolved to my satisfaction.

I lost some important luggage that I left on my seat namely my toiletry bag that had my blood pressure medications in it and $200 cash USD but when I went to lost and found it never showed up.
after that I contacted your flight insurance and was told that was not covered as a flight accident might have which is its only purpose I see now

April 4, 2022 REF: Travelex Insurance Services , Unethical, Roadblocks to Filing Claims, by Richard Mcilvaine Traveller March 14th, 2022
I have been travelling for 51 years with the Airlines and buying Travel Insurance for each trip.
I made my very 1st Claim for anything with Travelex Insurance co. for $ 30. 74 , meals, for a 10 hour delayed trip home for 2 passengers.
lCalled Travelex , left message, no return call.
Went Online to File Claim.
Filed out what I thought was a complete Claim Online, Seemed Simply at first, Gave information, Described in detail Airline Flights on Delta airlines, the weather delay out of Tampa Florida, resulting in being rerouted and got home 10 hours late. Insurance covered $100.00 for more than a 5 Hour delay.
Scanned copies of 2 Receipts totaling $ 30.74 , sent them on their Online Form.
Asked for my Paypal account to Reimburse me for the Expenses.
Thought I was done, time to go on to other important things in my life.
NO ! NO , NO ! - After Submitting the Online Claim a new page popped up asking me to fill out ANOTHER 3 Page Claim Form - What ?
I just filed out one and now after I did all this you tell me to complete another one ???
IT GETS WORSE! Now after filing the Online Claim they advise me of the Documentations they will need me to send them in order to start my clain in 6 weeks ! What ????
WHAT ????? JUST ONE OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS - You require me getting from Delta Airlines documentation THE REASON FOR THE DELAYED FLIGHT ???????
ARE YOU KIDDING ME ?
These days you can't even get ahold of Delta Airlines by phone unless you are on Hold for extended periods of time much less
ask them to send you documentation on a delayed flight and expect them to do that!!!
HOW ABOUT YOU TRAVELEX GET AHOLD OF DELTA AIRLINES AND GET THE DOCUMENTATION ?
Unethical to have me fill out a Online Claim first with Receipts, Explanation, Paypal Account Info and then Advise another, additional Claim to File and additional requirements besides.
I SEE TRAVELEX AS PUTTING SO MANY Forms, Delays, REQUIREMENTS, etc. so that you won't spend the time or effort to Complete the Form.
TRAVELEX You make it so easy to PAY you in Advance for your Insurance and SO DIFFICULT TO Redeem !
TRAVELEX You have lost my Business !!!
I will go from here.....

I had got Covid-19 in Thailand (my travelling destination) and had to got treatment for 10 days from March 12 to 23. Also I had contacted your customer service via email on March 14, 2022 about my claim. Unfortunately I have not been contacted back from you since then. Please contact me back for this issue, thank you very much.

All went well. Thank you

This has been the worst travel insurance experience I have ever had. I had to change the dates of my trip and found it impossible to contact Travelex via emails, a contact from on their website or phone calls. I can’t imagine what I would’ve done if I had to make a claim. I have now been waiting several weeks for them to acknowledge the date change; I received a message yesterday stating “welcome back” so I feel sure they will never contact me. Basically, I payed for an insurance plan that I never used and they had no exposure. I will attempt to reach them again, as the rescheduled trip is coming up in a few months. I travel a lot, I will never insure with Travelex again.

Travelex has so far been great to work with. I'm still waiting for the claim to be fully processed, but after a quick phone call, they were able to provide me with the information they would need from me to process my claim.
