Travel Insurance Reviews for John Hancock Insurance Agency, Inc.

Claims processing is cumbersome. They ask for far more information than they need. I think their goal is to frustrate you into just giving up. I travel to Europe several times a year and always get travel insurance. The is our first and LAST time with John Hancock.

Filing a claim for my delayed baggage was an ordeal. I was not able to do it online, because of "system problem." When I called the phone number provided on my insurance card, I was transferred four times, before reaching the person who could help me. Then, this person put me on hold multiple times to "check policy details." Overall, I spent over 1.5 hours before finally getting assigned a claim number. Vary frustrating experience.

Great people to work with. Prompt response and claim was processed promptly.

I would not recommend this plan to anyone. They keep asking for documents that don't exist or cannot be provided, desptite providing everything that could be provided. Please avoid at all costs. They do not want to honor claims and want to make it as difficult as possible. Stay away. Not worth it.

I needed to be assigned to someone and never was. None of my communications were ever acknowledged. The instructions given were very unclear and I ended up creating three claims when I was trying to change the original. I re-entered my information so many times. It was very frustrating. I had no faith that I would get my money back, but it did finally arrive.

I've always bought travel insurance, often from John Hancock, but this is the first time I've had a claim. I had emergency surgery 4 days before departure and had to scrap a monthlong trip. Fortunately, I keep very good records so I was able to provide good documentation for the claim. It was handled very fairly and timely, in my opinion. I filed the claim on March 1, provided chunks of documentation on March 12 and March 27, and received my final check on April 8 - I think that's amazing! My only complaint is that I wish there had been some kind of process tracker so that you'd know where they were in processing the claim - like Domino's lets you know whether they're preparing, baking, finished, etc. :) Other than that, I have no complaints and will be buying John Hancock from here on out.

John Hancock claim service provider does not seem efficient. Their computer system would not accept uploads and had to email each document one at a time. Customer service did answer phone and was helpful. I have had much better service with other companies. Not impressed. Will not use again .

Overall, the claim process was easier than I expected. Besides having to send a few documents more than once, there were no issues. The servicer has a secure website that allows documents to be uploaded, rather than sending them insecurely via e-mail, or cumbersomely via fax.

I attempted to file a claim after I returned from my trip for a covered expense. Company that was supposed to handle the claim, per the policy, no longer handles claims. Was told to contact another company, who they apparently outsourced travel insurance claims to, and they are very difficult to work with. They do not respond to emails or communicate the status of any claims. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! I have used insuremytrip.com dozens of times and this is the first time I actually need to file a claim and this is what happens.

I've purchased trip insurance for a long time, but never needed to use it. This time, unfortunately, I did need to file a claim. While I had to submit multiple documents and receipts, the company clearly stated what was needed to process the claim. It was handled fairly and promptly. It's extremely important for those who purchase trip insurance to keep extensive records and receipts of everything purchased. If I had not kept this type of record/receipts, I would not have received reimbursement. This is to be expected but I can't emphasize this enough. Submission of the claim required scanning and submitting a large number of documents into a portal. Ultimately, I feel this was fair... but tedious. I would purchase this insurance plan again and am grateful that I had it.
