After waiting 10 weeks for a response.....our claim was denied. Apparently terminating the trip early due to a worldwide pandemic and borders closing down was not a good reason. Warren Buffet should be ashamed of himself!!! No matter how I justified our claim the rep said a pandemic is not included in any of their policies.
I'll be sure to find insurance elsewhere for our next vacation.

Update: After waiting for nearly two months I was contacted by email saying they've now processed our claims and the checks are in the mail.They are covering the portions of the trip that we insured and reasonable coverage was provided; however, the customer service was non existent and super slow to respond. ***Submitted a claim for Coronavirus ( Cancel for any reason). No response, never contacted by an adjuster. Can’t reach anyone in claims. I’m sure they’re swamped with claims but it’s been almost a week with zero contact. I wouldn’t purchase this policy or work with TravelEx in the future. Poor customer service.

I was pleased with the ability to purchase on-line and how well the process worked when I needed to file a claim. It was easy to contact a real person when I had questions. The customer service was efficient and accurate. The email explaining the analysis and reasons for part of my claim not being covered was easy to understand and thorough. A great experience of how on-line and non-local transactions should work. Thank you.

I didn't file a claim so I have no idea how easy it would be to do so and get reimbursement.

Thank you for providing your feedback. Travelex has offered the following response:
"Thank you for taking the time to post about your situation.
We have reviewed the activity that occurred in January with our Customer Solutions Representatives and understand how the experience surrounding your situation could be frustrating. Our goal is to offer the best customer service and protection plans in the industry to better serve our clients in the future.
It is important to remember that insurance is highly regulated. Documentation is an important part of the policy modification process, as it relates to the Travel Select plan you purchased.
Thank you again, and we look forward to insuring your future travels."Apr 30,2020
"Thank you for expressing your concerns on InsureMyTrip.com.
Please note that Travelex Insurance Services, Inc. is the marketer of the travel insurance plans and does not make any claim determinations. Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance Company (“BHSIC”) is the underwriter and the Claim Administrator for all claim or appeal related inquires.
In the policy details, which were sent to you on August 31, 2019 when the policy was purchased, it explains all the eligible reasons for trip cancellation, including the terms, limitations, and exclusions. Which includes the General Exclusion “(d) any government regulation or prohibition”.
Having said the above, we do empathize and recognize that coronavirus has created a difficult situation for travelers.
We recommend talking to your Traveler Suppliers about transferring any monies paid to a new trip. Additionally, it may be possible to obtain a Date Transfer on your policy, which allows you to apply the plan to another trip, in the future. If you would like to apply a One-Time Date Transfer to your policy, please contact us at [email protected], so we can help process the cancellation of your claim and apply a One-Time Date Transfer to your policy.
It is important to remember that insurance is highly regulated. Claims need to be processed according to the policy details and based on the documentation submitted to the Claim Administrator.
If you believe all or any part of your claim was wrongfully rejected or denied, you have the right to have your claim re-reviewed by BHSIC, if you are able to submit additional documentation. To submit new documentation or for claim questions, please contact BHSIC at 1-855-205-6054 or by email at [email protected], Monday – Friday, 7:00 am – 7:00 pm CST.
