Was kept on the phone for over an hour waiting before I hung up - in Italy with no luggage. Received an email the next day. So much for 24 hour assistance

The claim refund process was a little slow, mostly because they required 6 months of medical records. It took awhile for the medical group to obtain, copy and mail 81 pages. And another several weeks for Tin Leg to log it in, assign and review. I guess I understand the need to review medical records, but they already had a signed letter from the surgeon explaining the injury, surgery, and that I was not physically able to travel. In the end, I did receive full reimbursement. I don’t, however, like how air travel is handled. Airline insisted to only give travel credits which had to be used within 12 months of booking. Flights were booked 8 months in advance. There was no way I can use the air travel credits by Dec 2024. I have a slow recovery. But since the airline issued credits, the insurance won’t reimburse for lost air travel costs. That’s a catch-22 if your medical issues won’t allow travel within that time.

I tried calling different 24/7 phone lines and no one answered except a person who said we should call the number that was based in Florida (we were in Italy) which would open at 8 est. That would be 2pm or 1400 in Italy. We kept calling and calling and letting the phone ring forever. Like magic the phone was answered at 8am EST. Out flights were the next day so we felt pressured. The reps we talked to were nice but not particularly helpful. We both had Covid and were wondering if we should cancel our flights and stay in a hotel until we were not contagious. The process that the agents laid out made it seem likely that if we made a claim there was a good chance we would not be reimbursed. We decided to go home as planned. There was no 24/7 service. If it had been an emergency it could have been a disaster. Disappointing to say the least. Frustrating too. We were both really sick and struggling.

Buy travel insurance often and most times tin leg or a Berkshire Hathaway product because it meets my needs. First time I’ve filed a claim and though not completed, the filing process was relatively trouble free to complete.

Tin Leg insurance is a scam. We had multi-city trip and one of the flights in the middle of our trip has been cancelled by the airline. We had to rebook with another airline so we could continue our trip. We got a refund for cancelled trip from the airline and requested insurance to compensate for the difference between cancelled and rebooked flights cost ($115). We paid for the insurance $226. Insurance denied the claim since they only provide coverage "if You are delayed en route to or from the Covered Trip". This is unacceptable and looks like a scam. Stay away from this company!

Not a real comparison, as all policies are by same underwriter.
Claim in process for a trip I was unable to take. Email response was not precise enough to let me know whether the materials I submitted detailing my nonrefundable expenses was sufficient. Request for medical notes from multiple doctors is overkill. A single doctor's note from my *** should be sufficient. I didn't WANT to cancel this trip; an inability to stand or walk fir more than a few minutes, and instruction by my doctor to stay off my foot necessitated canceling. A note from my doctor to that effect should be sufficient.

Securing the trip insurance was fast and easy. The price point was also very good and no issues when we had to extend the policy by two days. Just a very modest cost increase. Will definitely use Tin Leg again!
