Trawick International Travel Insurance Reviews

We had a basic influenza positive for my wife Patricia. She had 102 fever and other symptoms. The ships doctor gave both off us medication, my wife had one extra medication.

She was isolated for two days and now is cured.

Monday we mailed the claim forms and requested medical records.

We are waiting for email confirming Trawick has the mailed documents, diagnosis confirmation and is processing refund regarding the medical expenses.

The medical fee was automatically charged to my registered credit charge.

Hopefully the refund will be processed quickly.

I called to inquire about filing a claim. Their representative was good, very responsive, providing ample information needed to file a claim.

We are totally unsatisfied with the way our claim was handled. It took 2 and 1/2 MONTHS to finally get paid from the insurance. I spoke to at least 4 people over the course of several months and was unable to receive our refund, even though we sent in everything that was requested. I spoke to Trawick, to Nationwide to Co-ordinated Benefits before FINALLY reaching a woman (Gigi) who could help us. She was finally able to talk to American Airlines with our permission to receive a refund. We paid our insurance promptly and are unbelievably sad that it took so long to receive a claim of $1361.
We were unable to travel because of my medical problem as documented by my doctor. I think you should instruct the people at Trawick to be more professional and have more kindness in treating people who need to file a claim. After all, why do we purchase insurance in the first place?
We travel often and we will NEVER use your insurance again! You were recommended highly to us, and we expected better service considering we had to cancel because of illness.
We truly hope this message reaches the proper channels so they can try and teach their personnel how to better interact with clients. I will NEVER recommend your company to any of our friends who travel. This was definitely the worst insurance company that we have ever used and we hope that you will make a better effort in the future to help people who have to cancel through no fault of their own.

Traveling to Kenya was a beautiful experience. My husband and I are 76 and 78 respectively in very good health. We were advised to have travel insurance. Thank goodness we did not need it, but it was comforting to know it was there if needed. Traveling in a third world country makes travel insurance a necessity.

I am glad we had it!! And glad we did not need it.

We canceled our trip and filed a claim with medical letters of support to defend the need to cancel. Alas, we didn't read all the fine print. My husband is a 100% disabled Viet Nam veteran having served in Danang from March 1968 - April 1969. He thought he was ready after 50 years to return and get rid of his "demons." He came home with PTSD--nightmares, anxiety/panic attacks, and fears of public situations. He thought he'd allayed many of the fears and was ready to return. The closer the time came to the sailing, the more he increased with nightmares and panic attacks. His primary care physician in the civilian sector and his PTSD doctor in the VA system both supplied letters saying he needed to cancel plans to return to Viet Nam.

We canceled the cruise which went well as Celebrity returned our $900 deposit. We were able to cancel all the excursions I'd booked and received refunds. Our travel to Hong Kong on American Airlines couldn't be refunded; however, they did send us vouchers for flights we can take in the next year. Whether or not we use them is still in question, but at least they offered something. The flight home on Singapore Air was not refunded at all, so we lost $1382.47. Our US flights on Southwest Airlines to and from California from Texas were easily cancellable. Our hotel stay upon our return in San Francisco was also cancellable. So, we are out the cost of the travel policy $262.20 and the Singapore Airline tickets $1382.47. I don't think we'll be purchasing travel insurance again.

At the moment there is no issues with Squaremouth, however so not sure about the travel policies with insurance provider Trawick international.

I was looking for Insurance that would cover "intinerary port" change when on the Cruise... I thought they explained, it would be covered under the "Trip Interruption" and only because I was confident this would be covered... The Cruise changed 2 port intinerary days, after taking a lot of research and TIME and planning of what to do in those designated Islands, the Ship because of weather, redirected us to other 2 different ports. I now did not know what to do and we actually did nothing but get off the Ship and just randomly aimlessly walked around... When trying to put in a claim, your response was the policy did not cover for this and when I read it, I also understood it would have to be probably a 48 hour delay and expenses like tours occuring to then at least cover that... So this did not apply to us... I am satisfied that your process that was QUICK, beginning with your phone rep was very efficient to directing me where to go and what to do and a quick turn around response but ended disappointed, that it did not cover "itinerary changes"...

We had a bad experience filing a claim with another company. I contacted Squaremouth because it was recommended in the AARP magazine. The person on the phone was very helpful and got me signed up very easily. The coverage was better and it was several hundred dollars less than the plan offered by the tour company. I will definitely use them again.

Buying my plan was very easy as the agent was most helpful. Having the policy gave me confidence and freedom of concern of any possible health issues.

Website was transparent. Comparing insurance was easy to do.
