Travel Insurance Reviews for Crum & Forster - Travel Insured International

Had to use the cancel-for-any-reason benefit due to Hurricane Florence forecast for our home location. To qualify under the cancel-no-later-than-48-hours-prior-to-start-of-trip requirement, we had to pull the trigger prematurely based upon the forecast at the time. The dire forecast caused the two local (VA/MD) state governors and the DC mayor to declare states of emergency, so we were anticipating the possibility the airlines might pull out their equipment and fly everything to a safe harbor prior to our initial outbound flight.

In hindsight, we could've begun our trip safely, as Florence turned south instead of coming ashore directly over our home area. At 48-hours prior to departure, though, the decision came down to either "cancel" (and submit a claim to get 75% of our nonrefundable costs back), or "don't cancel" (and risk losing 100% of our costs if we couldn't fly out to get to the ship's departure port in time).

We submitted C&F Travel Insured's extensive forms and substantiating documentation for our claim online, and it was processed within a business week. Currently on their web site our claim status shows our check is "in the mail" for arrival in "5-7 days".

We needed to cancel our trip at the last minute for medical reasons. We sent the claim on Friday, July 20th the claim was logged into the system on Monday, July 23rd and processed with the check mailed on July 26th. We received the check for the full amount of the claim on Monday, July 30th. The claim was processed expeditiously and professionally with minimal forms.

I usually buy a moderately cheap trip insurance, mostly for fear of baggage getting lost by the airline company. Well on our recent 2.5 week camping trip to Canada it came in EXTREMELY helpful. Not only did Air Canada cancel our flight for our return home, but we hit a deer with our rental car. Air Canada would not cover our cost for 1 night in a hotel or the fact that we now were rebooked the next day to an airport over an hour away from our home. We were out the cost of a hotel, meals, and a car service for transportation from DC to Baltimore (not to mention the enormous headache this caused). I kept all receipts and was fully reimbursed the expenses for my travel delay. Still waiting to hear back from Avis regarding our rental car, but that claim is in the works as well. This reaffirms for me that I will ALWAYS buy trip insurance and I will now always select this company due to my positive experience. I highly recommend! Just be diligent with your record keeping should you need to file a claim so that you can have smooth claim processing. It is always good to plan for the unforeseen!!

After our stressful trip, where we were interrupted abruptly due to propeller failure on the cruise ship, we filed a claim. Thankfully, the claims process was very streamlined and user-friendly.

I have always purchased travel insurance but never had the need to use it. This past trip we had a travel delay. From the first contact to a speedy settlement I could not have asked for more. I will definitely recommend Travel Insured to my friends and family. They were wonderful and I will use them whenever I travel.
