Travel Insurance Reviews for Generali Global Assistance

We had to cancel our trip due to a medical emergency two weeks prior to the trip. The e-file process to file the claim was very easy, instructions for exactly what documentation was needed was very clear and easy to upload. The claim was processed in a very timely manner and I would definitely use Generali again.

Submitted claim on-line. Paid within two weeks.

I had heard all the horror stories about travel insurance providers denying claims for all kinds of questionable reasons so I was a little anxious when I had to file a claim for a cancelled trip. (Although I travel extensively and I always buy insurance, this was the very first time I had to actually file a claim.) Much to my delight and surprise, Generali not only will pay my claim in full but it took only 48 hours to get a claims determination! Fantastic service. The claims process was very easy and their telephone support was great when I called with a question. I now have a "go to" insurance provider for my future travel insurance needs. Thank you Generali!

During my most recent vacation, my TSA lock was removed from my suitcase along with a very memorable ID identififw6on. This was likely by the TSA inspection team at the airport. When I decided to choose to file a complaint form for the removal of these items, I was told that I would have to first check back with my local home insurance company to determine whether they would cover the cost of this item. What puzzled me: was that I purposely took out travel insurance policy to cover such unexpected occurrences, but was quickly being directed to other insurance which was hoped would pay for any damages to this claim. As a travel insurance company, I believe that the first responsibility should be to the customers insurance company as the claim was directed to events occurring while travellng abroad, not in a condo thousands of miles away. It is,after all, something which has occurred in travel alone, & should be recognized as a travelling risk taken care of by travel insurance.

This is the second time I have used the travel insurance. It is very easy to purchase and the documents are sent by email very quickly. I had a small health claim which required a lot of documentation and time to complete. I am retired so I had time to go through all the requirements. If you are working I am sure you would forget it and not submit the claim. Probably how they make money!

It was easy to do and provided everything we needed in trip coverage.
