Travel Insurance Reviews for Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection

Process was surprisingly efficient and outcome obviously satisfactory.

Berkshire Hathaway was an excellent company from which to obtain travel insurance. Their policy was reasonably priced, and included what I needed to cover my trip. As it turned out, my brother became gravely ill, and We had to cancel our trip. Berkshire Hathaway processed our claim, and full payment, in a timely manner. I would highly recommend!

My tablet screen cracked while on my trip. And my insurance covered up to a certain amount for baggage and personal effects. So I called them Friday while on my trip. I was emailed within two days just as promised with the claim paperwork. I finished the required paperwork on Tuesday. Then that very afternoon my claim was approved. And the next Monday I got my check! I am very happy with this insurance.

We can’t say enough good things about our experience. Everything was handled professionally, with compassion and promptly. We recommend trusting the Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection plan to everyone needing travel insurance.

Very very pleased with our plan from Berkshire Hathaway, when tragedy struck in the form of cancer before our trip to Aruba they covered us 100%. It takes about 2 weeks to process and they are the nicest people to deal with. Highly recommended!

Of course I didn't expect to use the policy. My grandmother had a stroke on my trip ,and my mom and I had to come rushing back to the U.S. We were sure to save our receipts so we could provide proper documentation. It took us awhile to actually submit our claims, but they were paid quickly. The limits (which we paid little attention to when getting the policy, because we didn't dream we'd actually use it) meant we didn't get every last dollar back. But we got everything allowed by the policy, which definitely lessened the sting of the family emergency and my grandmother's situation.

Had to file a claim because Irma destroyed our destination. Claims process was very easy, they sent me the claim form and a list of items to provide showing our losses. The list was in no way cumbersome, and I easily provided the documentation they needed. Once I submitted the claim, the money was deposited into my bank account within 3 days. Very pleased and I've purchased the same policy again for our replacement trip.

I had a claim - I had to return early due to family illness. I started a claim w/ Berkshire Hathaway and rep sounded OK. Then I got their emailed long list of 13 Dr. statements, ID copies, consent forms, hotel receipts, cancellation policy of the airline[s], ticket copies, ticket numbers, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. they needed before they could begin to review my claim.

It would have taken me hours to get all this material together, if I could of at all. I would guess this is a technique they use to minimize payouts. I feel it would be a waste of my time to try to collect everything they wanted.

I thought one of Warren's companies would be better than this!!! Interesting dichotomy - ins. companies want to sell policies, but then they don't want to pay....

This plan covered everything we expected without exclusions that other plans had. When my son broke his wrist while we were out of the country the claims process was very easy.

I developed chest pain and was admitted to the ICU in a small hospital 2 hours from Managua. We called the customer service line and they took care of all the logistics to fly me home to Ft Lauderdale in a Lear Jet air ambulance the next day. Very pleased and grateful for the service I received.
