    Your website does not work and no one can help me. Very frustrating!

    This was my first time insuring a trip. I called several different times to lower & raise the amount of coverage as additional travel costs varied. Everyone was always very helpful, professional, pleasant and efficient. In the future I would purchase insurance the moment I purchased the trip, an adjust later if needed.

    My daughter became extremely ill on the first leg of our flight to Spain. I called to see what the options were. The 24 hour agent that I spoke to was pretty useless. She suggested I call back when they opened on Monday morning which wasn’t helpful at all. Mind you it was Saturday night and I was 2 1/2 hours away from boarding a 10 hour flight to Spain. Maybe if I would have called during normal business hours it would have been a better experience, but who gets to pick when they are going to call with an emergency. We ended up getting on the next flight to Madrid because we weren’t sure the insurance would cover anything. I kept thinking we were going to have to use the insurance when we were in Spain because she was so sick but she ended up getting better around day 5 of the trip. I would pick an insurance with live agents not a 3rd party next time.

    Thank you for reaching out to Travelex Insurance Services on Squaremouth.com. Your customer experience is very important to us. We did contact Zurich Travel Assist, the travel assistance company, and they did not locate a phone call from the phone number listed on the policy you purchased.

    We believe the date you would have called would have been your departure date, March 29th. Please send us the approximate time you tried to contact us, the phone number you dialed, and the phone number you called from to tisreviews@travelexinsurance.com so that we can investigate your concerns.

    Sincerely,

    Travelex Insurance Services Inc.

    . Within 2 weeks of the trip the issue of a possible volcanoe eruption came up. I learned that I would need to purchase an entire new policy to cover trip delay/cancellation in the event of an eruption. I did not know I could not add this coverage when purchasing the original policy.

    I will consider this in future purchase of trip insurance.
    Fortunately on this trip, no such event occurred.

    Thank you for reaching out to us on Squaremouth.com review site and for the Excellent rating!

    The Travel Basic policy that you purchased is a named peril policy meaning it offers 12 covered reasons for trip cancellation and trip interruption.

    Two of the covered reasons are below, and in the policy on page 4 of 19:

    Environment

    Inclement Weather which causes delay or cancellation of travel;
    The Insured’s, or a Traveling Companion’s Primary Residence being made Uninhabitable by Natural Disaster, Named Storm, vandalism, or burglary.

    Travelex Insurance Services (“Travelex”) Ultimate plan is also available on Squaremouth.com. The Travelex Ultimate plan offers 26 covered reasons, including the covered reason above and the insured’s uninhabitable accommodation at his/her destination.

    We are happy to hear your trip went smoothly and you didn’t need the insurance.

    Thank you again, and we hope you think of Travelex the next time you travel.

    Sincerely,

    Travelex Insurance Services Inc.

    I had to cancel my trip. The representative with whom I spoke on the phone was very helpful. Once I sent in all my documentation, the response was very timely and I received complete payment within a reasonable amount of time. Very pleased with the policy and how my claim was handled

    There are few companies that allow or have an add on policy for "older" people (I'm 71) for adventure/extreme sports. Travelex has an "add on" for this. It was not needed but nice to know if I did need it, the coverage was there for getting me off the mountain and/or out of the caves for medical care. The only drawback is that they do not offer annual coverage.

    This policy is a waste of money. And time. I was stranded with no place to stay because one of my reservations cancelled on me hours before. I was waiting to talk to customer service for over an hour. Some lady made me sleep on her couch because it was Alaska in the winter… When I finally got a hold of them the day after, they said there’s nothing they can do because I’m getting a refund. But everything was $500/night now because it was a busy weekend, if there was anything. Most places were booked up. I had my reservations made for over 3 months. And my refund didn’t come in for 72 hours. No one should ever have to go through that. Complete waste of money.

    I initial reached out because I believed I needed to file a claim due to illness. My party member was able to come so I canceled the claims process.
