Purchasing my Generali Global Assistance insurance was easy. Everything was done online. One night, my wife broke her wrist while going to dinner. When I contacted customer service, they responded right away. We sent in all the paper from the hospital and Generali took care of it. However, they decided to use a certain company that doesn't have good service to transfer the funds. Generali should stay with checks or do something else because the company they used was a pain in the neck to deal with.

Buying the insurance from Generali was a breeze. I was planning for a trip that was five months out and I thought I needed to have some degree of protection. I got it directly through their website and it has been five months since I did it. The trip had to be cancelled because of the pandemic. It was supposed to start on May 1. I made the trip through Orbitz. The airline cancelled my flight. And so far, Orbitz hasn’t returned my money. They said I can have a voucher for a year but I don’t want a voucher. I want my money back because I don’t know if anything will be any better in a year or if I will be in the situation, given what's going on. I can’t take the chance in a year. I’m not very happy at all. Whether or not the insurance I bought was worth anything is another matter. I haven't filed a claim.

We have known Generali for a while. Our son always uses it so he recommend it for us too. We were thinking of not taking a travel insurance, but then we thought, “What if one of us gets sick?” My husband has health problems too. Then we decided it would be good to have it just in case, and thank God we didn’t have to use it. We were happy with everything. My husband feels same way as I do.
Thank you Maria. We wish you safe travels.

DO NOT PURCHASE INSURANCE FROM GENERALI or CSA. This company is horrible in every sense of the word. Almost a year and I have not received a full reimbursement from my policy. Sent pages and pages of supporting documentation. My husband became very ill on vacation (Booked through VRBO and used this company on their reference) and while he was in a semi coma the insurance company did not answer the phone, when they did they told me I was not insured, when I got that straightened out (while my husband was critically ill) I had to call them at least 30 times.
It has been almost a year and I have phoned Sarah **, the person handling our claim and her superior 152 times. They do not return calls, request copious amounts of documentation (of which I understand) and then ignore you. The stress this has caused us emotionally is unbearable. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. We have traveled for years and have never had this kind of customer service EVER. Filing complaint with the California Department of Insurance and whatever else it takes to get this resolved so other people in crisis will not ever have to go through this stress.

I wish I could give it less than one star to rate it. After calling and not being able to speak to a representative, I have sent two emails, which have not been responded to and submitted an online request for a refund of our travel insurance that was purchased in anticipation of a cruise that has since been canceled due to the Corona Virus. This has been a very frustrating experience and Generali is a totally unprofessional company. When reading other reviews, they have a "pat" answer. In my opinion, this is a company that is only interested in getting your money, and finds very creative ways of not having to refund it. We travel extensively taking one or more cruises a year. Speaking for ourselves, we will NEVER buy travel insurance from this company again, and hope that any future travelers would think twice about doing business with this company.
We're sorry for the frustration. We have reached out to a team member to help and understand they have been in contact with you.

After traveling from the US to Cambodia (More than a day travel time). I was robbed by two motorbikes driving on both sides of my tuk tuk (w/ helmets) and they took 2 bags. They were long gone within seconds and I knew immediately I would not be getting my belongings back. I had 12 other bags in a van behind me that I had to worry about and I was exhausted. Apparently, Generali is the one insurance company that has begun a policy that you must go IMMEDIATELY to the police station (filing a police report is a 6 hour minimum ordeal in Cambodia and usually requires an interpreter no less).
I went first thing within 24 hours the next morning which is every other company's (including Generali’s subsidiaries) requirement. To change wording from within 24 hours to a broad “immediately” is pretty malicious and deceptive to customers. Even polices outside the US from Generali explicitly state that you must go to the police station within 24 hours. It’s been 5 months of fighting this and I’m exhausted. Generali is fighting me that I did not go immediately, but as their policy also states below that I also had a responsibility to protect my other bags. Leaving 12 bags in a van while I try to file a police report is a no brainer if you have been to Cambodia. So I took them to my friend's gated home and filed first thing the next morning.
Generali says I should have gone “immediately” and that I was responsible for keeping the bags safe while filing the police report at the same time. Again, all of this after traveling with 14 bags across the world for the past day and a half they expected me to go “immediately”. Generali was both policy supplier and the underwriter which explains the very good coordination of denial of benefits. THANKS GENERALI.

I submitted a claim last weekend followed up by an email question on Monday. As of Friday I have not received any return contact. My trip was planned early January before this Coronavirus was even an issue. My trip, now canceled by the cruise ship and airline, was due to begin in 2 weeks. I have been notified of some refunds due and given this information to Generali. Trip cancellation is supposed to be covered 100%. I don't believe it should be this time consuming to contact a customer. Their website does not allow you to see the information sent and if it was all received correctly.

I Googled travel insurance and Generali came second on the top 10 list. And based on the reviews that I read about them, I figured I would go with them. I’ve also used Generali four times in the past but I only use them when I took cruises. So, rather than get the cruise line’s insurance, because I know that’s crap, I’d go with an outside carrier. All my friends that would cruise would use Generali as well. Their website is user-friendly and very easy to use. Use them and take a chance.
Other than that, one advantage of Generali is that they have no out-of-pocket expense. If you use them for medical and you call them, they're supposed to pay whatever medical facility you’re using. Compared to that, most other insurance companies, even the cruise line insurance, want you to pay out of your pocket then they reimburse you. And that reimbursement might not come until six months down the road. I know people that have gotten sick and got the cruise line insurance. They paid and the cruise line insurance gave them problems getting their money back.

We're sorry to hear you had to cancel your trip and apologize for not meeting your expectations. The plan you purchased is unfortunately unable to provide coverage for every event that might cause you to cancel. Your SaveOnResorts plan includes 21 covered events for Trip Cancellation but meeting cancellation is not one of them.

Updated on 05/27/2020: This is in continuance of the previous review I have left. We were able to finally contact the company after numerous attempts. They put our insurance claim for review then came back and said it was closed due to a voucher we received from iTrips. We spoke with iTrips prior to filing our claim and they said to contact the insurance company for a refund.
Fast forward did all that all for them to say the pandemic was going on since January and we were fully aware and we still booked anyway. How were we to know, how was anyone to know that this was going to cause such a disruption in everyone's lifestyle. So we called iTrips back and received a rude response. I will be leaving a review on them here after this one. Based on this experience, do not book through iTrips...better yet do not insure your travel plans through Generali Global Assist. When it was pointed out on pg 19 regarding should a situation arise such as this and specifically points out about quarantine, the agent claimed he did not know what we were reading and was of no further assistance. Clearly stating that the claim is closed and that is that. My advice do not insure through them. We are out almost $1000.
Original review: Approximately 3 wks ago (3/2/2020), I have made a home rental reservation for April (4/12-15/2020) up near Salem, Ma. My best friend and I booked this rental for a spring break trip as well as to tour a couple of colleges. Well, in light of the current situation with COVID-19, colleges and universities have canceled tours and classes are online for their current students. I have spent hours on the phone multiple times and even left my number (to hold my place in line) for a call back. I have emailed the company as well. All to no avail.
I understand and can appreciate the high volume of calls and longer wait times but a couple of hours just waiting for someone to come on the line is just ridiculous. What is the point of travel insurance if you can't even get through to properly be refunded?!? We've already canceled with the home owner but their response is to offer a voucher. Unacceptable when we don't have a time to use it. It's under 30 days of the initial booking. I expect a full refund. But nevertheless, I would still expect the full refund as this is an unforseen event. But that is looking bleak as time passes and no call back or can't even reach someone whether by phone or email. My best friend booked the reservation under her name but the cost of everything has been split between us for both of our families. I can understand if they rather discuss this with her as it is in her name but she cannot get through either.

I've been using Generali for several years now. We're retired and we travel, and I wanted to have that kind of protection. I did a search online and I found Generali. I called and talked to one of the representatives and I liked that conversation, so I just started using them. I've only had a couple of conversations with their people but I was very impressed. They answered all my questions, and they were professional, courteous and friendly. It was everything you would expect. I submitted a claim online a month ago and I got a notification a couple of days ago that they had assigned an agent to the claim. But I haven't heard anything back from that. I'm not in that big of a hurry though. I'm sure they’ve got plenty to do and I'm assuming that the process is working. If this goes through and the claim works, I would highly recommend Generali.

Please, please, please do your research on CSA Travel Insurance before wasting your money. I wish I had. I booked a vacation through Homeaway in October, 2019 and purchased the travel insurance. Due to Coronovirus scare I decided to call them to verify everything was in order for our upcoming trip in 3 weeks. I first contacted them and went through the automated system. It verified that there was a policy issued but that it is "not in an issued status"??? I basically have then on auto re-dial 8 hours a day and can't get hold of anyone. You are only given the option to leave your phone number for a call back that never happens.
I have left my phone number numerous times, sent multiple emails and also faxed them documentation that the insurance was paid for but NOTHING! Everything I am reading says this is the norm for CSA. You can't get hold of them, they don't answer the phone EVER, not on a sun shiny day, NEVER! And if you are the one lucky people who do get hold of someone they won't cover anything anyway. You basically have to schedule your medical emergency, evacuation, quarantine, etc around the terms of your policy. Waste of time and money. Better off not having purchased this policy and taken my chances.
We apologize for not meeting your expectations. We are experiencing unprecedented claims and call volumes as a result of the current events surrounding the Coronavirus.
Please note that only our claims department can issue claims determinations, so this is not an official determination of your claim and only meant to help provide you with some general information.

I live in Japan, and I thought it would be a good idea to have my nephews and niece (two young adults 16 &17 years old, one child 10 years old) visit me from the U.S. during their spring break. Well, as it turns out, Coronavirus has spread to Japan and increasing day by day. The CDC, WHO, and the Japanese government sent travel advisories informing the public not to travel to Japan unless necessary, and avoid public gatherings.
Well, we decided to cancel the trip for the safety of the young lads. During their visit, they planned to visit DisneyLand & DisneySea, Kyoto, Tokyo SkyTree, and many other wonderful sites around Tokyo. A week before their arrival, the Japanese government ordered the closing of numerous sites and tourists attractions/events until further notice. Places such as Tokyo Disneyland, DisneySea, and a number of schools are closed to the public. I file a claim with Generali Global to get a refund of the full or close to the full ticket price; my claim denied. I guess the spread of Coronavirus is not justification enough to get a refund.

I bought this travel insurance on February 2nd, as I am travelling to Spain in May. I asked a lot of questions in their website chat before I bought it and I read all their terms and conditions. I went to look at my policy yesterday and they have a Orange bar at the top of the website about corona virus, this was not on their main page on the website when I purchased although Generali says they had the notice somewhere on their website when I purchased the insurance but at that time it was not prominent on their website. I was very thorough and never found this notice, it is very prominently displayed now.
So the notice says that if you purchased your insurance after January 22nd and you don't travel because you have the virus that their illness protection will not cover you because that illness is foreseeable. Ok, so who anticipates that they will have an illness/virus months before their trip? They don't do this for flu season and that is a foreseeable illness every year. I understood when I bought the insurance that they didn't cover pandemics, but had no idea that they wouldn't cover me months down the line if I caught the coronavirus when it wasn't considered a pandemic. BUYER BEWARE! If you are buying travel insurance from them they will not cover if you don't travel because you are sick with coronavirus.
I only bought insurance from this company because they were supposed to be reputable and not do shady things like this. They should have been very clear upfront that they would not cover this. I guess they are acting like the typical travel insurance scam where they insure you and then they will do everything they can to weasel out of paying if something happens. I tried talking to them and they refuse to even comment on why they cover flu outbreaks during flu season which is foreseeable every year. Who anticipates catching a virus months ahead of time? Bottom line look to other insurance providers who act ethically and honestly. I feel like they just took my money and weren't upfront about this coronavirus. I will never do business with this company again and would urge others not to.

In August of 2019 I put a deposit down on a Carnival cruise and my tour guide took the money for insurance with Generali Global Assistance. (Claim #**) The cruise left Minneapolis Mn on February 1st 2020. My friend and I got up at 2am and got to the airport almost 3 hours ahead of time, even though this was only a domestic flight to Miami. Unknown to us, Sun Country has their international flights AND domestic flights on Saturday, and there were HUNDREDS of people in line.
After an hour, we started to panic. We told people in charge we HAD to get on that flight, but they said there was nothing they could do and that security was also backed up 45 minutes. We got to the check-in and even though they were holding the plane for an extra half hour they would not let us check our suitcases or board the plane. It was devastating, and there were many other people in the same situation.. all missing flights. In the back of my mind I knew I had insurance, so I was relieved somewhat. But guess what, after making copies of all the things they wanted, I was turned down for any kind of compensation because they do not cover, in their words, missing the plane due to "long lines". The airline admitted it was their fault, and refunded our tickets in cash. But still, Generali refuses to cover anything. Very aggravating. Never never use this insurance.

It took me two days to reach customer service to ask a few question before I place the order for the insurance. First day I waited 45 minutes on hold and finally left my phone # so customer service could call me back but no one did. Same thing the second day but this time someone did call back in an hour. Why is it so hard to reach anyone? If I was on a trip and needed to call will I be able to reach anyone. Having second thought about my trip insurance.

I've started using Generali Global as my travel insurance provider since 3 years ago. I got a cruise trip for myself and my family and I have Generali Global insurance for it. But due to the Corona virus, the cruise is cancelled. I'm asking Generali Global to give me the money back from the air fare, but they said no because I have to get doctor's papers. They said that I could get my money back if I'm sick or if something happened to my family, but they can't give me money back for the Corona virus. I don't understand and it's not fair that I paid 300 for a cover of 5,000. So, I lost the money. Next time, I don't want to buy any insurance because it's not helping us a lot. I lost money for nothing.
We’re sorry to hear of your frustration. Airline and cruise changes to schedules and destinations due to virus outbreaks are not one of the covered events listed in our policies. Like other insurance plans you may have, travel insurance cannot cover everything, so it’s important that you read and understand your Description of Coverage/Policy, made available to you before and after purchase.

BEWARE! They will do everything possible to deny your legitimate claim. We missed a flight due to the cancellation of the rail service to Fumicino airport but Generali claimed our policy does not cover this because the actual train didn't break down, even though the railroad provided a letter stating that the rail service was cancelled due to equipment fire and train is not even mentioned in the text of the policy. Only after I had complained to the CA insurance commissioner did Generali changed their tune and paid out the insurance. Also policy coverage was insufficient to cover the cost of the replacement tickets due to the very low coverage limits. To get a true snapshot of Generali's business practices checkout other customers reviews on Yelp.
