We had no issues on our recent trip that required assistance from Generali. Pre-trip I upped are coverage to meet some additional trip expenses. It was handled with a quick phone call and I received an up-dated policy by email.

Not much to say at this time. I'm working on the claim, which I will complete tomorrow. I found the claim form to be reasonable. I was unable to log in to begin, but a quick phone call solved that problem.

I have never purchased travel insurance for a trip so I was a little skeptical. Our tour organizer told us we had to. I looked for a policy online and found Generali Global. They were very thorough in answering my questions before purchasing the policy. I red the policy as soon as I purchased it, again. I felt comfort in the things stated in the policy. We had no problems on the trip but I was comfortable in knowing that there was an international phone number should a problem arise.

In short - my experience with trip cancellation with Generali Global Assistance was excellent.
We planned a great, almost 3 weeks long, vacation - combination of cruise and land trips. We booked in advance cruise itself, air, hotel, transfers, onshore excursions (both from ship and independent). Unfortunately we had to cancel vacation due to a serious illness of a family member. I have submitted a claim online and uploaded supporting documents. Initially it was somewhat slow, until someone was assigned to the claim. Then I received an email specifying which documents are missing from the claim. Shortly after I uploaded those documents, a very nice representative gave me a call and discussed some specific details. In a week or so I have received payment in a regular mail. Everything was covered. It took approximately 6 - 7 from submitting the claim to receiving payment.
Thank you Generali Global Assistance

I was told that we would be reimbursed for a conference that my husband paid for in advance that was non-refundable ($925)
I put in for reimbursement for $6,574 for 2 airline tickets. I was credited by the airlines, but the credit expires 12/31/23. Due to my husband's surgery for a ruptured Achilles, his surgeon does not want him to fly any time soon so we will lose that credit as we cannot complete a flight before the end of the year. I explained the extenuating circumstances, but was told that since I got a credit from the airlines, Generali could not reimburse me.
Also, our co-payment for the surgical procedure was $3,500. I thought this would be covered under medical coverage. They did not address this issue.
They re-iterated that the policy covered, " Please note, the policy purchased states: "Benefits will be paid, up to the amount in the Schedule, for the forfeited, prepaid, non-refundable, non-refunded and unused published Payments that you paid for your Trip". Since you have received the full airfare credit in the amount of $6,574.00, we cannot provide a second benefit for the airfare".
I obviously misunderstood the exact wording, so since I didn't "prepay" for the surgery, I was not eligible for reimbursement for this?
I would have been OK with the airline credit, but due to the extenuating circumstances and the timing of the credit, I feel I will lose $6,574 even though I bought travel insurance way in advance. Little upsetting...

Claim process took over two months to review, in the end, the insurance company (Generali Global Assistance) ignored one of their criteria for insurance that I was covered from and was denied total compensation. As of now this issue has still not been resolved.

In general I appreciate the work done by General Global Assistance, and I am grateful for their work on bringing me home. However, I found communication between myself and agents too complicated. I wish I could communicate with one agent from the start to the end, while I had to deal with many agent and sometimes send the same documents and answer the same questions several times times .
