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.
We love our loyal travelers, Noel, and hope to retain you as a customer for many years to come!

It was a great experience with Generali Global Assistance. People were very kind and warm. It was really desperate moments, but I felt completely satisfied. When I filed a claim, they reached out to me right away and from that moment on, they were asking questions about what happened. They also got in touch with the hospital I needed help with. My mother-in-law fell on my kid's 10th birthday, and she broke her wrist. We were in Mexico, and it was a very difficult moment. It was not in their zone, but they found the middle person who made sure they will be a guarantor. That's how everything worked out.
I still have a couple of questions I have to call about and I'm supposed to get a reimbursement for $900 but have not got any response. That was the transferring fee the ambulance charged me. Other than that, the agents were wonderful. They were reaching out and acting quickly. They even offered me airline tickets for coming back with the extra room for my mother-in-law to be comfortable, which was amazing. Also, I was on the phone with an agent when the doctor said I could get medications and bring it back to the hotel. I told them I was not leaving my mother-in-law, and I was not traveling back and forth. The agent told me they also cover back and forth traveling fees.
I will purchase Generali again, and I already gave a lot of people recommendations, because I was blown away with the way the company handle situations and emergencies. It was a little pricey and I know there are a lot of companies that charge less but when I saw what I was looking for which was full coverage and the good reviews, that's what made me to go with Generali. Signing up with them was so easy though I was nervous in the beginning. All you have to do is put the number of people you are traveling with and their age groups. Then the estimate came out, and it was up to me to decide if it was worth it or not for me.

One of the main reasons we selected Generali Global Assistance was because my wife had a pre-existing condition. She just had a hysteroscopy and a lot of travel insurances did not cover that, whereas Generali was nice in terms of the pricing compared to their competitors. And it was convenient for me to book it. We didn't need it, but we had the comfort of knowing that we had it and if something did happen because she had the balloon in her uterus due to the hysteroscopy. It was nice because we had a bit of a scare, but we didn't have to go in and everything sorted itself out.
The information that I got in terms of the PDF documents and were nice. I downloaded them, I fed them into the ChatGPT to break down all the main components of what I needed to know, and that was it. I didn't talk to anyone directly. Everything was done online. It was easy, but I would have liked more information in terms of what I actually applied for. Because I know that if we did have to go to the hospital, it would have been due to my wife's hysteroscopy. But I didn't know if that was still considered a pre-existing condition. There was nowhere on the site that confirmed if it was or if I needed it or not. I still bought it for comfort, but it would have been nice to have that information or have the option online. But Generali was the cheapest one that I could find in the space of time that I was applying for the travel insurance.
Make sure, if you do have a pre-existing condition, that the policy covers that, especially for someone that's going through a current treatment. And make sure that, if there is an option to select a pre-existing condition, that it's there. A lot of people would just buy insurance, not realizing that they might not be covered because they have a pre-existing condition.
We do our best to offer an array of travel plans for our customers. We are happy you found the right coverage to fit your trip's needs. We appreciate your review!

I was traveling internationally and Generali was a better value for the limits that they covered and the different types of coverages with the price compared to some of the other companies. I had a claim a year ago and I tried to reach customer service. But it was a very disappointing experience. They told me to seek local medical help and send in the bills. I was under the impression that they would help me find care, but it was nothing like that. Because I was out of the country, you can't reach their 800 numbers. I can't even remember how I finally got ahold of somebody. But not having a contact number that works in the country that you're at was also very frustrating.
Their claims requirement is frustrating because it says that you have to file it with your primary insurance first and then show proof. But it's hard to do when it's out-of-country physician. I found that an unnecessary hassle as well. Like a doctor in Mexico, they're not going to file a claim to a U.S. insurance company. I was on Medicare, and I know Medicare doesn't pay for out of country care. Fortunately, when I filed a claim, I made that statement, so they didn't require me to pretend like I was having to file a claim to Medicare. But it's not as streamlined as it should be.
I use American Airlines all the time, and they ask if I want to protect my flight with whatever insurance they're offering. I have found that Generali is much cheaper for that. So, if I want to protect the cost of my flight, I usually go ahead and buy that amount through Generali and save quite a bit of money. I've referred Generali to other people I know who travel, and to my sister and my daughter when she was going on a cruise. So, I'm happy enough with Generali that I do refer them.

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 get travel insurance for another layer of protection. It gives me a sense of security. Should something happen, I'd be well taken care of based on the options that they offered me and what I decided upon. You don't know what your future holds in terms of you being able to make the trip due to illness or illness of others in your family. There might also be delays and luggage might be lost. Generali offers good options at a reasonable cost and when I signed up with them, it was quick and easy. Everyone I talked to was easy to communicate with.

I've taken two travel insurance policies before and both were easy to set up and the price was okay.

Everything was online when I signed up with Generali. They called one time because it said there was a page error, but it was just to ask if the system was down.

I would never willingly use or recommend this company. I did not contract with Generali directly; I became involved with them after submitting a guest damage claim through Airbnb. Shortly afterward, I began receiving emails from Generali requesting sensitive personal and financial information, including banking information. Given the nature of the information being requested, the emails immediately raised red flags and felt extremely suspicious. Rather than blindly providing sensitive information, I contacted Airbnb for clarification. Airbnb directed me to contact Generali directly to verify that the emails and requests were legitimate.
When I called Generali, the experience became even more concerning. I explained that I was simply trying to verify whether the emails I had received were legitimate before providing personal and banking information. Instead of helping me verify the request or explaining the process, the gentleman I spoke with literally hung up on me. If a company is going to request highly sensitive financial information from someone who never directly contracted with them, they should be prepared to professionally verify who they are, explain why the information is needed, and reassure the person that the request is legitimate. Hanging up on someone who is simply trying to protect their personal and financial information is completely unacceptable and did absolutely nothing to build confidence that these requests were legitimate.

I purchased trip insurance that was supposed to cover natural disasters, and I did not get refunded when a HUGE (150,000-acre) fire was burning uncontrollably only 13 miles north of the rental. It would have been dangerous, and the air quality itself was hazardous. I turned in a lot of documentation showing this. The person in charge of my claim was rude and playing on my words, and ultimately denied the claim, saying I was trying to get a refund because of my son's asthma. While that was something that I had brought up while we talked, it was not the primary reason for my claim.
Even the owner of the rental was shocked that they did not refund us, as she had told me she was avoiding the area too. The insurance was offered through VRBO. The entire experience was disheartening and tasteless. A terrible way to do business. You buy trip insurance in case something like this happens. At first, I was so relieved that I purchased the insurance when the huge, 150,000-acre fire was burning in the area, and then I found out that I lost the money that was supposed to be insured. The company feels that I should have risked my family's health, well-being, and safety to utilize the rental. Very disappointing.

We bought all the insurance coverages and lost money before we ever took flight.

Beware, there is usually a problem when the insurance company doesn't answer their phone calls and expects you to transact business with them by computer. No follow-up, phone calls or explanations why the insurance you paid for is not covered? Save your money, you don't need their insurance.

I purchased insurance on my mother’s advice and she has used Generali in the past, which is why I stuck with them. The experience was fairly simple and I did not put much time or effort into figuring out which policy was the best.
Thanks for your feedback and your purchase, Elan! We know you have options when it comes to travel insurance, but are pleased you chose Generali Global Assistance.

I would give Generali Global Assistance ZERO stars if that were an option. We purchased travel insurance from Generali believing we would have protection if something went wrong. When we needed to file a claim, we provided everything they requested—including documentation, proof of purchase, receipts, and detailed explanations. We submitted the requested documentation FOUR separate times. Despite this, our claim was denied.
What has been even more frustrating is the complete lack of meaningful customer service. We have repeatedly tried to speak with an actual representative and have never been able to speak with anyone who could help us resolve the issue. Instead, we continue to receive emails asking us for documentation that has already been submitted—multiple times. We have sent the receipts. We have sent proof of purchase. We have provided explanations. We have resubmitted the same documentation four times. Yet the response continues to be requests for information we have already provided, followed by a denial of the claim.
This has been an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience. The purpose of purchasing travel insurance is to have support when you actually need it. Instead, we have spent an unreasonable amount of time repeatedly providing the same information while being unable to reach someone who will actually review the situation with us.
Based on our experience, I would not recommend Generali Global Assistance to anyone who expects their travel insurance company to be responsive, accessible, and willing to genuinely assist when a claim is filed. Think very carefully before purchasing this insurance. Our experience has been that getting someone to take responsibility for actually addressing a claim is extraordinarily difficult.
We value your feedback, Sheri. We're sorry to hear about the circumstances surrounding your claim and apologize for not meeting your expectations. You should have received additional information regarding the requested documents and the current status of the claim from a dedicated representative.

I'll keep this simple. I purchased an annual travel policy through Generali to cover medical expenses and trip cancellation. I was returning from a scuba diving trip in the Philippines and became ill with decompression sickness while flying 30,000 feet above the pacific ocean. There was no medical facility that could treat me on the airplane. I went to the ER upon arriving home and was fully evaluated, hospitalized, put on oxygen and ultimately diagnosed with decompression sickness. I had to be treated in the hyperbaric chamber the next day. My doctors all agreed that the injury occurred as a result of scuba diving activities.
Generali has refused to pay for ANY of the medical expenses, saying that if I had been treated ANYWHERE but in my home town (because I still would have been "on vacation"), they would have reimbursed me. But, because I got treatment in my hometown (as soon as I got off of the plane), they won't pay for anything. Yes, buying the policy was easy and that customer service was great. But, that all stopped when it was time to pay out for my medical expenses.

Extremely disappointing experience. We bought the travel insurance (paid $365 for insurance on our $3,500 trip to Spain). On our way home, we had a With a last-minute cancelled flight that caused unplanned overnight stay, Ubers and food expenses. We submitted the claim and were initially denied the claim, fully. After complaining, and providing the same documentation in the initial claim, Generali offered a underwhelming reimbursement of $117.86. Shady business practices, like denying claims, is all you need to know before making a decision.

We did a lot of traveling, and the medical insurance I have here does not cover traveling. When I did my research online, everybody was commenting how good Generali was. We compared Generali against a bunch of other travel options and insurance options, and we chose Generali because of the positive customer feedback. We've used it for a few times right now, and haven't really had any need to do anything, so I don't have actual experience of what the claim process but it's a sense of safety kind of thing that we have this if something happens to go wrong. We have an option to make it better for us. I haven't had any actual need to call Generali, but the actual online process to purchase it is very simple. They explained everything in great detail. The forms are very complicated. I must admit that you don't really go through to the end. Overall, Generali has been our choice. It's the one we're most comfortable with. We recommend Generali.
We are grateful for your review, Paul. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and choosing to #TravelSmarter.

Travel insurance is very important. I looked online for policies for travel. I was mostly looking for an accident type of insurance. While I never used Generali, getting the coverage was very easy.
Thank you for your kind words, Jerzy! We're grateful for your support and for your choosing us!

My brother uses Generali for his travels and I went with them at his recommendation. I went online and picked the one that was the least expensive and made sense to me. The experience was smooth and was very straightforward. It's a good coverage and it's straightforward if someone needs it. However, it was a little expensive for something I didn't use.
Thank you for your kind words, Kenny! We're grateful for your support and for your choosing us!
