My in-law used Generali Global Assistance. She got injured on vacation, and the policy covered her hospital bill abroad. I've been using Generali Global Assistance since 2019. I was doing activities, and it was my first time in this specific place I went to. I already knew what to do and how to book. It was straightforward. Everything was well explained there. I haven't had to use Generali, but navigating the website has been straightforward. It's affordable, too, compared to what the airlines try to charge. I'm happy with it and I would recommend it.
Thank you for your feedback, Jorge! It's wonderful to hear we were able to meet your expectations.

During my travel back in the Philippines for two weeks, I purchased the insurance from Generali. I got all the documents which they sent to me once I purchased it online. Then, I paid and they sent me the details as well as the benefits for me and my wife during our travel. It was the fifth time that I got this travel insurance. I got that one first when my wife traveled by herself, second when my mother and I traveled, third when my mom passed away in 2023 and I had to go back to the Philippines, and fourth when my wife went to Italy. Five times in a row I got the travel insurance from Generali and I had no problem. I also refer this insurance to friends and relatives because it's a good one.

I took a trip abroad a couple of years ago and we've heard horror stories about bad things happening to people. So, we priced out travel insurance online and Generali gave us the best option. I just heard, in case I got injured, lost a passport, or there will be something that disrupts the trip, I could get home and get coverage. So, I got the insurance as a peace of mind.
Generali's website is very easy to navigate and it's very comprehensive about what you're getting for each plan. Their website, by far, was the easiest to use. I did file a claim. I lost my passport in JFK Airport in New York and had to get a new emergency passport to be able to travel abroad the next day. So, I filed a claim for the expenses that were incurred when this incident happened. Overall, the claim process was straightforward. Customer service has been very responsive. They've done a good job getting back to me in a timely fashion. I would recommend Generali to people traveling abroad and those who are looking for an insurance policy.

I used Generali two years ago when a hurricane hit, and I had a successful experience. I got my money back using Generali as the backup that I had took a plan at. It cost me $250 to use Generali, but I got $3,000 back. So, that was worth it to me. You just have to persist it. You have to use an email. You cannot just leave phone messages or talk to someone at Generali on the phone. You have to have documentation. Still, it was a good plan. It took five months, but it's better than not getting it. This time, I only had basically airfare, so I didn't bother using it. Nothing happened on my trip, too, so I didn't use it. My son is gonna fly in September, but I probably won't use Generali. If I I'm going with a hotel, car rental, and everything else, then I usually use Generali.
Customer service-wise, I would call constantly and I would talk to someone eventually, but they wouldn't do anything until I finally started sending emails so it'd be in writing. That's the only problem with Generali. If you don't put it in writing on emails, they have a tendency not to call back. Sometimes, I would call four or five times in a week to find out what was happening and nobody would ever call me back. I leave my name, my phone number, wait around for somebody to get the phone and say, "Okay," and they didn't do it. So my husband said, "You have to have a record of it, hon. So go in your email and send it to them through that." In fact, that was when I started getting some results.

Generali has three options: the lower level, standard, and higher. Usually, standard is fine. Normally, I just go with Generali. I have kids and lots of things seem to go wrong when I'm traveling. With our last year's trip, somebody got hospitalized, and so I ended up submitting for medical bills and travel change bills. I use it pretty frequently. Recently, I went with Zurich because Generali's portal went down so I could no longer sign in to see all of my past and current policies. I'd have to call and request it. That's gotten fixed again. But the person I had spoken to wasn't even aware that they used to have it. So I decided to go with Zurich for my last choice.
Submitting a claim with Generali is pretty easy. You just have to get the documentation together. Sometimes it seems to lag for a little while and I have to follow up. But most of the time, it's handled quickly. So far, Generali has been good. The most recent time I purchased something from them, it looks like that backend portal is back up. So I'll probably keep using them in the future.

I was stumbling around the internet prior to a travel that I was going to do when I saw Generali. I liked their prices, so I thought I'd give them a try. I've had really good luck with them. The first time I used them, I ordered my insurance online, but I was skeptical at the time, so I also called them to make sure it was a reputable company and that they had real people. Upon talking to their reps, I felt that they had good customer service. They instilled trust in me for both themselves and the company. Also, from all the companies that I've checked with as far as travel insurance, they were the cheapest, most reasonable, and what they offered was complete for what I needed. So, I was very happy with them. Aside from that, I'm going to be 71 years old and I'm pretty computer-savvy. I do a lot of networking and I found their website fairly easy to use. I didn’t stumble through it, but I looked it over before I made any decisions and I read the stuff.

I compared Generali with other travel insurances. With Generali, you get the most bang for the buck. Also, I personally saw that they have offices in Europe. I liked that, so I know that they are present there. And overall, I like the complete package deal when you are in an emergency situation. I was looking for emergency coverage in a certain amount. I would always look for at least $100,000 to $200,000, and I would be brought home if I needed to be transported back to the United States. I liked that luggage loss was covered. Dental emergencies are covered as well. It made the most sense to me, coverage-wise, and the amount of money that it cost. Purchasing the insurance is very easy. I got an email that Generali is changing their name. They are being bought out and taken over by another company. I hope that does not change their services and the amount of money that they are charging for their service. I hope they stay the way they are.

I Googled travel insurance and Generali came up. It was slightly cheaper than some other companies. I was looking for something that would cover a bad hospital stay. I bought it online and it was fairly quick to do. I got really sick in Aruba a couple years ago and I submitted a claim and they covered everything except the ambulance. So that worked out. I've gotten travel insurance for over a decade now and it's gotten more expensive. It's a little bit complicated because some people have multiple travel coverages now. So some people have credit card insurance coverage, and some people have their medical insurance from their job cover them. If you have nothing, you should totally get Generali. But I understand why most people don't get anything.

I work in consulting and I deal with expatriate healthcare and other different business travel accidents. I see that, if I'm going away, I should have travel insurance just in case. Generali has a reputation for being one of the best in the business for that level of service. I knew which insurance I was going to do some research on. Also, their site was one of the easier ones to navigate and to see what benefits would be available under different plans that are accessible. I've had a positive experience with Generali. I didn't file a claim, but I had the peace of mind of having the travel insurance. If I got sick, then I didn't have to worry about a big medical bill outside of the U.S. It helped me to enjoy my vacation a little better. Everything was easy as well.

I found out about Generali Global by asking a local travel agent what she prefers over any of the other organizations, and she recommended them. In general, I’m interested in travel insurance more due to the fact that if something were to go wrong, I wouldn't want it to cost me thousands out of pocket if I were to get hurt in a freak accident abroad. I didn't care much about the actual refund. If a flight were to get delayed or my suitcase with all those things, that would be very nice but more than anything, I was looking for the medical side of it. Getting the policy was simple and from my experience, I'd give this 4.5 stars. I'd also tell people to look at all the plans, understand what exactly they're looking for, and match that up with some of the plans that are available.

We learned about Generali from the travel agent that I purchased the tickets from. Looking for the particular policy we needed was very easy. One of the reasons we purchased the insurance was in case there was a problem that we couldn't use the tickets, we would be covered. It so happened that my son didn't use his ticket. We asked for a refund but we never got the refund for the travel that he didn't make. Generali never did anything and I don't have a way of reaching out other than going by the forms and filling it out and submitting it. There's no phone number that I can call. I'd tell others not to buy Generali because it's not worth it.

I've had a few times included Generali Global Assistance for some cruises that we had taken, where our travel agent had slipped it in there for us. Recently, I used them. I was searching for travel insurance for a trip that my wife and I took to Jamaica earlier in July. Generali came up as an app result in a Google search. I liked their prices.
My wife ended up getting an ear infection while we were on her trip. I had no idea how the coverage worked. I had no idea how to get in touch with Generali when I needed them. I had to go through this non-existent internet, looking through emails so I could chat with somebody online. It took forever just to get the information of, "You have to pay for it, but you might get reimbursed." They told me I had to go to the doctor and pay with my primary insurance. And if I got rejected, they would reimburse. It's too convoluted. We ended up just buying a bunch of medication ourselves. We paid for it out of pocket. I won't buy any more policies.

I have some friends who use Generali all the time. Then, I did my own research and found that it seemed to be the best deal out there for what I needed. We travel all the time, and you never know what's going to happen. If I was just traveling across the United States, I wouldn't care, but when you're leaving the country, you need better insurance. I was happy with the available options. What they offered for the price seemed great. I booked the travel insurance myself and the price was right. It was easy to book, too. We're already home from the trip, but we didn't have to use it, so thank God. We have another trip coming up, and we'll use Generali again.

I was searching on Google for travel insurances, and I liked what Generali offered. I wanted to be covered on a few major things like going to the doctor's if I needed it, having transportation if I needed to come back home, and having coverage from delayed flights and losing luggage. However, it wasn't easy understanding the coverage because the reps talk so much. They have to let you know everything. I only understood when they sent the policy to me. Before, it was easier to get through to them, but now it's not that easy. Most of the time, it's AI answering or you have to do it online, which a lot of the time, is not understandable. But I would recommend them. The price expensive, and it was almost half of the price of my flight, but I used to go with another insurance that was more expensive than Generali.

I bought a Generali (now rebranding as "Redion") travel protection plan for exactly the kind of trip disruption I ended up having — and they've done everything possible to avoid paying. My American Airlines flight was delayed after ground equipment struck the aircraft and damaged the cargo door, which had to be repaired before we could depart. I missed my connection and arrived at my destination about 20 hours late, losing a prepaid, non-refundable hotel night I never got to use. This is the textbook situation travel insurance is supposed to cover.
- They denied my hotel because the airline's initial paperwork called it an "operational issue," then hid behind that one phrase to claim it wasn't a covered "mechanical/maintenance" event.
- I went back to the airline and got a written statement confirming the delay was officially "coded as an aircraft maintenance delay" and that maintenance was required before departure. Generali STILL didn't pay.
- They repeatedly demanded the hotel's cancellation policy — which I provided at least four times, even highlighted in red. I contacted the hotel directly and they confirmed in writing there is no separate cancellation policy; the terms are in the booking confirmation I'd already sent. Generali asked for it AGAIN anyway.
- I requested multiple times that a senior claims manager or underwriter review the file. Every one of those requests was ignored, and I kept getting replies from the same representative.
The most telling part: Generali paid my transportation and meal expenses from this exact same delay, but denied the hotel from the same event. If the disruption was covered enough to pay the incidentals, it was covered enough to pay the hotel. They never explained the contradiction. I'm an insurance agent myself, and this is some of the worst claims handling I've experienced — vague policy language, repeated requests for documents already provided, and no real review. In my opinion, this is bad-faith conduct designed to wear customers down. I would not trust Generali/Redion with a claim that actually matters. Read the fine print carefully, document everything, and strongly consider another provider before you buy.

We spend a lot of money on vacations, and in this uncertain world, covering some potential unforeseen circumstances is wise. We looked at a handful of travel insurance companies but went with Generali for their price. We had booked our flight, and the night before we left, our airline informed us they've canceled our flight, but they were going to get us another one. The next day of our flight, they had booked us another one. We paid a couple $100 extra to get better seats with Icelandair but when they put us on the other flight, they didn't give us any better seats. We've been trying to get our couple $100 back and feel we are getting the runaround. We put in the claim to Icelandair, but we haven't heard anything back. They said it was going to be six to eight weeks before they get back to us. I don't know if that's something that we could claim on our Generali or not.

Generali has helped me on two trips. The first time I had their insurance, I had to make a claim and they got me through the process. They also saved me some money, so on that, I was very thankful.

The second time I purchased their insurance, I didn't make a claim but if I needed to, I knew what to do. Other than that, I'm a big fan of Generali. We were in Dublin, Ireland when my wife got deathly ill, and it was on our first day of the trip. There were some things I did not save. It was a little crazy in the beginning, but it was my fault.

On Feb 19, 2026, I booked a trip with Vacations by Rail for my grandson and I (a 15 day trip to Italy). The trip cost was $6,495 per person, with a total of $12,990. A deposit of $1,400 was required and paid. I was also advised to purchase travel insurance with 'Generali Global Assistance' and if purchased within 24 hours of booking, I could 'cancel for any reason', as stated in print in the policy. So I purchased the travel insurance with Generali Global Assistance for both myself and my grandson at a cost of $1,003.66 and $454.88 respectfully within the required timeframe.
On June 4, 2026, my grandson and I needed to cancel, as we couldn't get the time off (trip was 15 days long) so I filed and submitted all the required documents requested needed to cancel. I was only requesting $1,400 deposit to be refunded as Vacation by Rail would not refund my deposit. My complaint is with Generali Global Assistance as they denied my claim for the $1,400 deposit on June 23, 2026. Their reason "The documentation provided, indicates the total trip cost was $12,390.00, and the insured amount was only $6,195.00, which is not 100% of the arrangements. As such, the terms and conditions are not met and we are not able to consider benefits for your claim." Based on the purchase of the two insurance policies for my grandson and myself to cover the cost of the trip, the reasoning is invalid. I've made numerous phone calls with their insurance claims department, to no avail. I have now filed a claim with the BBB.

We were traveling overseas, and we were going on a boat trip. We wanted to make sure that the weather was going to hold out, and there were no problems with the airlines or anything like that. I searched the web for travel insurance, and I looked at the reviews and pricing and went with Generali. I looked at the price of the trip itself, and Generali had some health benefits in there, too. It was easy to sign up. We didn't have any issues, so we really didn't need to communicate anything after the initial purchase. Generali was a good coverage for the money.
Thank you for your feedback, Clinton! It's wonderful to hear we were able to meet your expectations.

My experience with Generali has been very positive. Back in ‘22, I had Generali for a trip to France, and I fell and broke my wrist. They were helpful, but not in a very timely manner. I ended up having to buy my own ticket home because I had to have surgery. Generali partially reimbursed me, which I was thankful for. But the policy said that they would provide someone to assist me home should I need it, and I definitely needed it, but I didn't get it. I just had to take care of all that myself.
Last year, I had to cancel my trip to Italy because of illness in the family, and they did reimburse me for my premium, the exact amount I paid them. So, I was very happy with that. I recommend them because my experience has been more positive than not, and they came through in the end, four years ago. It was a very satisfactory experience, and I always got a response.
Thanks for sharing your feedback with us, Ruth. We're sorry to hear about your travel woes, but happy we were able to assist and pay your claim!

My aunt always purchases travel insurance. She said Generali was the one to go with, so that was what we chose. The purchase process was smooth and straightforward. We wanted to get the insurance, specifically for, if we had to be transferred out of the country we were traveling to to get here back in the states. We were looking for a way to not go bankrupt if we needed that. There were lots of options but the coverage we were presented with was sufficient. It was what we needed. We specifically had gotten Generali for the medivac, and we weren't disappointed.

I had some generic stuff available through my company through Generali, but I wanted additional coverage, so I contacted them to purchase my own. The process of getting it was good. I like that it broke down different values and options by how much you purchased. The coverage you could get had like three different levels. They broke it down well by the different portions of covering lost travel expenses and the delayed flights. I wasn't interested in that stuff, so I tailored it to just medical coverage while I was abroad. I have a wife with big medical concerns, so that was the safety net that I was looking for.
I was fairly satisfied and purchased the coverage. I didn't completely dissect it for everything that it had to offer, but I was happy with the coverage that it offered, and the assistance that it provides in moving family members, flying family members back home, and coordinating things while you're abroad. Overall, Generali is a company worth considering when you're looking for that kind of coverage.
We are grateful for your review, Randy. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and choosing to #TravelSmarter.

I took a very expensive, once-in-a-lifetime trip, which now has to be repeated because I got very sick. I collapsed in Italy. We ultimately had to cancel three days. We lost one day because everything was so delayed and then the next two days, we lost because of my health. So, I was filling out the form last night to put in a claim for the train fare and for one of the events. So far, my experience with Generali has been convenient and affordable.

I got travel insurance to protect my trip, just in case there was a problem, which I assume is why most people get travel insurance. I chose Generali because they were one of the cheaper ones, as far as costs are concerned, and covering for what I wanted to be covered for. I was looking for mostly medical and it was pretty easy to find. Everything was online.

The Generali insurance came with my tour, and we were traveling for a week on our own, so I wanted to have the same insurance and continue with it. I was mostly concerned about medical coverage and emergency medical and emergency coverage. Generali had the product that I wanted. They had a variety of products. I was able to choose what I thought suited my risk. The process of acquiring the insurance was very easy. Generali is a good company. It was able to tailor it to my travel and my needs.
