    Alternative to Allianz travel insurance

    I would advise contacting an insurance agent that specializes in travel insurance. It will save you time in having to read the "fine" print and you will get a quote for a plan that meets your needs. I have found out it's easier to share what I want with an agent than trying to compare plans I...

    Travel Insurance

    From my experience, I would rather purchase a policy from an actual person. Sure it's convenient to buy a policy online but if I need to file a claim, then I want to be able to call and speak with somebody who knows me. When you call Allianz or Travel Guard or AIG, AXA, or any other large...

    Alternative to Allianz travel insurance

    Even though Squaremouth has a lot of travel insurance choices, I highly recommend purchasing a policy from an insurance agent. When you have to utilize the insurance and file a claim, you want someone you can call and who can help you. Trust me! I've filed many travel insurance claims and the...

    Alternative to Allianz travel insurance

    Hi Irenie - I was in a similar situation regarding a travel insurance claim like you and I ended up frustrated and angry on how I was being treated. So now, I don't buy insurance without speaking to someone first and if I need to file a claim, then I want to be able to speak with the same...

    Question regarding travel insurance and pre-existing conditions USA

    I have a pre-existing heart condition. I highly recommend contacting Insurance Services of America and speak with Rachel. She offers travel medical insurance which does not exclude pre-existing conditions. She can send you the details in writing. Good luck and I wish you safe travels!

    Trip Travel Medical Insurance Reviews - if you ever had a claim

    I've had multiple travel insurance claims. My parents were in a car accident and hospitalized for 2 weeks while visiting Panama. My brother became ill with spinal meningitis in Vietnam. My nephew lost his wife in a car accident and had to repatriate her body back to the U.S. My father having...

    Is 1 hr 15 min layover sufficient at Frankfurt airport for connecting flight to Biarritz with Lufthansa?

    I've flown through Frankfurt over a dozen times connecting to destinations in Europe, Asia and Africa. If your flight is a Transit connection, then you will just go to your next gate and you don't have to go through immigration. Typically, you go through immigration when your connecting flight...

    Efrén Gonzáles guided tour 2023

    I've led groups before and always purchase insurance for the group. Not only does it protect the travelers but limits my liability as well. I'm able to sleep better :) If the group I'm traveling with doesn't have a group policy, then I will purchase an individual plan.

    I would check out www.insurancefortrips.com. You can chat with them from the website or they have an 800 toll free number you can call. I spoke to them and they informed me the travel cancellation insurance they offer would reimburse you for your non-refundable airfare if you tested positive...

    Travel insurance for US travelers over 70

    I found an annual medical evacuation policy with no age restrictions that provides medical evacuation to the hospital of your choice. There is no exclusion for pre-existing conditions as long as don't have travel restriction from your doctor. The only caveat is that it's only available to US...

    Getting trip insurance using air miles: frequent flyers help!

    Most travel insurance policies only refund actual monies spent and do not refund airline loyalty or frequent flier miles. If this is the case with your travel insurance, then you would only include trip costs that you actually paid by cash or with a credit card. I would check with your...

    Cautionary tale of the importance of travel insurance!

    Hi Lissie - if you ever go on a walk again, then let me know. I found a company that covers pre-existing conditions and they actually paid a claim. Cheers, Adam

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD NEW COVID-19 Test Requirements

    I would make sure your travel insurance covers adequate trip delay coverage in the event you are quarantined in a hotel. If you are quarantined for 10 - 14 days, that could be expensive.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD NEW COVID-19 Test Requirements

    As far as returning to the U.S., the CDC is requiring individuals who have been vaccinated still provide a negative test. If you have had COVID within the past 90 days then, you don't have to get a test; however, you have a letter from your doctor stating you have had COVID within the past 90...
