Travel Insurance Reviews for John Hancock Insurance Agency, Inc. Gold

I did not get the results from my claim that I had hoped, but the response was fair and according to the purchased coverage . Because of a mix-up with the airline, I spent nearly $200 on long-distance overseas telephone fees to get my wife's ticket issued for the return trip. Since this expense was not a result of a trip delay, it was not covered. (Of course, the airline did not accept responsibility, either.) So, although I did not get what I had hoped, John Hancock handled everything promptly and professionally. I would use them again.

Our trip was canceled in Nov. 2017 by our travel tour company, who closed their co.
It took us until March 2018, after many phone converrsations, letters, copies of contracts, etc that it was finally agreed we deserved our monies we paid for our trip that was canceled for us, not by us.
Until this time we have used John Hancock numerous times with no problems, and would recommend.

We insured our December 2017 trip to Antarctica with a JH Travel policy. Due to poor weather, we never made it to our Antarctica destination. When we returned to the states, we filed our claim with Seven Corners (the JH policy had been transferred / sold from JH to Seven Corners). This turned out to be a terrible experience. The customer service was atrocious. The company did everything possible to deflect paying legitimate claims. After countless emails, phone calls and letters, itsl now taken close to four months to receive payment on our full claim. I will never use JH nor Seven Corners for Travel Insurance again! Horrible experience!

Due to bad weather, we missed an entire leg of our journey. We obtained a letter from the expedition company detailing the weather problems to submit with our claim along with all other flight and hotel documentation. The only piece of required documentation that surprised me was a copy of my passport showing country entry/exit dates. I feel I was lucky that I noticed that notification of an impending claim had to be provided to John Hancock within 21 days of the trip delay/cancellation. I don't know if I would have had problems if I missed that important piece of information. Once the documentation was submitted, it took about six weeks to receive payment. There were no challenges to my submitted expenses and the whole process went smoothly. I've never had to submit a trip insurance claim before, and I was nervous about the experience, but this was painless. I will definitely use John Hancock again. Thanks!

We were impressed with the ease of filing a claim and the timely response that we received. This was the first time that we had been unfortunate in our travels. We were able to make a call with ease from India to customer service to confirm coverage and assurance that we were covered. The peace of mind allowed us to continue our travels without worrying. Insure My Trip is a fabulous source for travel insurance. I’ve been using them for 20+ years.

I appreciated your email saying you received my documents. However, no one contacted me about needing additional information until I made the contact after several weeks. I was then informed about the additional information. The person taking the call was very respectful and polite, but was extremely difficult to understand because of an accent and speed of talking. That was extremely frustrating.

Everything was according to stated coverage. The four stars on claim promptness is really an open item. While the claim was processed quickly and payout on part of the claim was timely, part of the claim required additional justification. That has been submitted and a responce is pending. If handled as efficiently as the rest of the claim, that catagory would rise to five stars.

This is the best travel insurance company I have ever dealt with, and this is probably the 50th policy I've purchased over the years. They are timely, professional, courteous, and they don't make you jump through a million hoops. Thank you for your help!!!

The plan covered my claim exactly as advertised. Great protection for the cost.

I got the coverage I wanted. I am very pleased would use them for my next trip. Very happy!
