  • Travelex Insurance Services policy: Travel Select

    Square mouth was deceptive with its advertisement of Travelex. They are poor and overrated. Claim's reasons are not clearly defined. Only after It was too late to cancel my insurance or
    have a claim paid just because I did not receive a legal letter through the mail. legally stating the terms of the contract that were different than advertised Their claims department customer service phone does not answer with a human rather a recording and hang up. Sharon Henry the claims dept. gives out fault telephone numbers and claims processing is months rather than weeks. Berkshire Hathaway cannot receive phone calls in emergencies and because I did not receive a letter mailed to me my claim was denied.. I still can't get a refund because of their emergency telephone lines do not work. Please help me

    The travelex folks don’t respond in any sort of timely manner unless you get them on the phone. Their messages say it’s a temporary issue but, it’s been going on for years. Once you get them on the phone, it’s a great experience.

    Satisfactory. They should procure summary insurance coverage card of pocket size for handy reference. Other insurance company do provide such card.

    Thanks

    Thank you for your review on Squaremouth.

    The policy details were sent to you via email on 03/06/2019 at 3:37 pm, when you purchased the Travel Select plan.

    Attached in the email is the Confirmation of Coverage (COC), with your personal and trip information listed.

    The COC does have the benefit schedule and phone numbers in case of an emergency, at the bottom of the page, so you can cut it out and carry it with you.

    This gives you the convenience of having a pocket-size, portable version of the policy information, while you are traveling.

    Thank you again for reaching out and we hope you think of Travelex the next time you travel.

    Kind Regards,
    Amber

    The cost of the insurance was a good value in order to have the peace of mind that all was not lost in case something went wrong on our trip. Winter travel from cold climate states can be "iffy" because it can be clear one day and a storm the next. I would use Travelex Insurance Services again.

    Berkshire Hathaway insurance handled my claim efficiently and promptly.
    The key is proper documentation and submission of requested documents.
    I would highly recommend this carrier.

    The travel insurance is useless and I will never purchase it again. My return flight needed to be changed and the insurance was not really insurance.

    Response from Travelex Insurance Services

    Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns on Squaremouth. We take all complaints very seriously and we are sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction of services.

    After reviewing the details of the discussion on 12/13/19 with the Travelex Customer Solutions representative, we have determined that the focus of the call was how to extend the coverage on your existing insurance policy. The Travelex representative advised and clarified the process to extend your coverage.

    While Travelex can assist the insured travelers with questions relating to their insurance coverage, Travelex does not have the authority or capacity to change an airline ticket.

    In the event, you need to file a claim please contact the Claim Administrator by phone at 1-855-205-6054, Monday – Friday, 7:00am – 7pm CST, online at www.travelclaims.bhspecialty.com or by email at travelex.claims@bhspecialty.com.

    Our return trip home was interrupted by a snowstorm which caused a cancellation of all buses running north out of Port Authority, leaving us in New York city unexpectedly overnight upon our return from a river cruise to Portugal. The trip insurance reimbursed us for the hotel and food under the trip delay coverage. We were very pleased with the way the claim was handled by Travelex Insurance. . .
