Travel Insurance Reviews for TravelSafe

You should all know the story by now -- I had to cancel for work reasons and you would not cover my airfare costs. You denied my claim and denied my request for partial reimbursement. I would never use you again.

We have used 'InsureMyTrip' for many years for our cruise travel insurance company and have been pleased. This year we had to cancel a cruise and filing a claim, "Trip Cancellation Claim ID 6336742", was a horrible experence! I only asked for a mere $596 refund! Trip Mate was handling the claim here in Kansas City, MO and I sent the necessary paperwork at the end of May. Time dragged on and on, and finally they indicated they transferred my claim to another 'agency' and lost all my documentation. I had to re-send paperwork two more times, talk to a respresentative several times, and it took until August to actually receive the insurance claim money! This whole insurance processing department appeared inexperienced and and inadpt at processing a claim. It is doubtful we will use your insurance company again!

I purchased the Cancel For Any Reason plan. I did have to cancel and promptly filed the claim. I spent many hours providing every single detail and produced a summary document that covered everything. After over 2.5 months of waiting, Trip Mate finally completed the review and have informed me that I will get nothing.... They had managed to find some fine-print in their contract. Nothing at all??? Last time that I use them.

It took 2 months to get a check from "Travelsafe", even with a simple and very well documented medical issue on the ship. Initial claim reporting was very awkward, they wanted heavy documentation and lots of forms, and there were no verbal follow ups on the delay. When I initiated calls, the reps were extremely aloof, and had no urgency or concern. This company fooled me once, but I will feel "Safer" NEVER using these bozos again.

Word of advice, spend time looking at reviews where claims were made. That tells you the value of what you are really buying.

Insuremytrip really helped me out. They get a five star rating!

It's been almost 3 months and all travel mate, the administrator, does is find excuses and tiny technicalities that do not appear to be based in the contractual requirements to not pay the claim. Very unsatisfied. Update - I finally got a check on my claim in August, after the intervention of the travel mate ombudsperson.
