Travel Insurance Reviews for AXA Assistance USA

Had to cancel entire trip (luxury cruise) prior to final payment due to medical condition. No problems getting refund from AXA and customer service was good.

AXA was VERY slow in responding to the medical claim I submitted. Fortunately, David from Insure My Trip advocated for me with AXA and finally got the claim settled and my reimbursement check issued. I don't believe I'd have ever gotten the reimbursement without the help of Insure My Trip customer care.

This trip had to be cancelled for medical reasons. A refund of the forfIeted deposit was requested from AXA on Oct.10. We were told we would hear back in 30 days. I called AXA after 40 days to check the status and a couple of days later I was told they needed more information. I provided the additional information and was told by an AXA representative it was sufficient. When I called back in a couple of weeks, I was told that still more information was needed. I provided this but did not receive a confirmation of receipt. When I called they told me they had no record of my claim. I sent the same info a second time but still no confirmation. So I called yet again and within the week I had 2 confirmations of receipts. Then miracle of miracles I received a letter that my refund had been approved. Two weeks later, I got two checks in the mail - one for each traveler although they are made out to the same person. But, the names aren’t the problem it’s the amount. The checks were for $300 less than we had been approved. I just got off the phone and they said it was a typo and they will attempt to expedite the new check. What should have been a simple refund process has been a major headache.
Although our flights were also insured, I decided to handle those myself. I had a dull refund within 4 days.

Total failure by insuremytrip. My mother passed away four days before our trip. I was led to believe by the person I called I have full coverage to change the airline tickets. Since we bought tickets so early, and now having to change a flight from New York to Italy within a week the increased costs were over $4800, but again they said we are covered. So we scheduled my moms funeral promptly an delayed our departure by two days. Heart broken and sad over the loss of my mother we left for our trip at least feeling better believing the almost $5000 would be covered. I made all the proper notifications and filed a claim. They DENIED the claim and sent us a check for $200! They claimed the delay was not covered beyond $200. I appealed it only to be denied again...they said they would have reimbursed all of our money if we canceled, but since we were able to salvage our trip we are out over $4600 in additional costs! They have no heart and could care less about the customer...they promptly took our money but in true insurance company fashion denied our claim. It makes no sense canceling if you can delay....or at least so we thought. I would NOT buy insurance from this company!

The problem with AXA is that many are ill trained and do not pay attention to detail. I was so sick yet had to be on the phone constantly. There are only a couple of people who truly are good and capable. Some do not know what they are doing! If they could get their act together it would be a great policy and a great company. In the end they did a lot of direct billing which was nice but the enire process was extremely stressful I still have to submit bills to them for payment so I am not sure what they will or will not cover. I asked and no one could say. I think the question was clear but no one knew the answer! The best person was Lynn who is the supervisor. But she is not there 24 by 7 and the night and werkend staff are poor. It truly is a shame. They ate suppose to be the best there is so if they are the best What are the others like. I cannot even begin to imagine.

Purchased an AXA Assistance USA Platinum Plan for a trip to Africa. I was unable to go due to an illness. Long story short, the plan paid the the amount of the claim. I received a check for $11,600. The service was good, and no hassles. I will purchase another AXA policy for our future travels. Highly recommend.

AXA did not respond in to the claim within the time they promised(30 days)after the receipt of our claim. After 30 days we called and were promised a response by the end of the day. 3 days later there was still no response. Called again and promised a call back within an hour. Over 2 hours passed and still no call back. Called them again and was promised a response within 48 hours. 3 days later we received a request for more information, some of which we had provided when we filed our claim. We received a check today, 77 days after we filed our claim. Poor customer service, but at least they paid eventually.

Claim was processed in timely manner.Thank you

We purchased AXA insurance for a European Trip that included a Baltic cruise. All went well until we returned to the States thru NYC. They had issues going on and were cancelling flights due to "congestion". Eventually our flight was cancelled. We immediately reported it to insurance 8/02 and was advised to get statement from Airline of reason for cancellation. The statement on our paperwork said a/c maintenance so the Airline was responsible for our room (or so we thought). A day and a half after we were to arrive home we did. We worked for 2.5 weeks to get airlines to pay portion and then submitted to insurance everything airline did not reimburse. Insurance did nothing until I called to check on status 2 weeks after submission. They sent us a letter asking for more documentation about hotel room and airport parking for the 1 extra day we submitted. We submitted again and 3 weeks later had not heard a thing. Contacted insurance again and was apologized to- it was put on hold. Finally received full payment requested 2 months after submitting. IF YOU BUY AND HAVE TO USE CALL FREQUENTLY AND STAY ON TOP OF THEM. Nothing was done until after each phone call and believe me they say call to check on status- it appeared they do not want you calling to check on status because nothing has been done until you call. Keep every receipt and document otherwise you will never get your refund, Frustrating experience if you have to use insurance.

We had to cancel our trip due to medical issue. It took them a little over thirty days to review claim and then request additional information/documentation. When I emailed twice for an explanation of why this was needed, I never received a response. I did procure the documentation requested anyway and submitted. We finally received a refund of all of our trip related expenses almost 2 months after submitting claim. So we were made whole, but customer service was wanting.
