Paid our claim within days My daughter became sick and couldn't travel. The whole claim process was easy, and I was able to complete the claim form and submit it with supporting documentation via email. I was expecting to wait weeks if not months for our refund, so I was surprised to see they approved the claim almost immediately. A few days later our refund showed up in my email as a digital check. I'm so glad I purchased this insurance or we would have been out almost $2000.

Claim submission behind the times! The filing of a claim on line and then having to print out to sign the form, is so inconvient as a printer is required. Electronic signature is possible as well as submission of claims electronically. Submission of the claims, all paper copies, have to be scanned in the system at Tripmate. My claim was paid at least 3 weeks from submission to payment. Communication as per the status of the claim was Incomplete. Texts via phone occurred one time only. Email communication was nonexistent.

Our flight thru Frontier got canceled… Our flight thru Frontier got canceled while on vacation. The process was a little lengthy but we got 100% reimbursed for our new flights, the cabs we wound up taking, and the hotel that we wound up having to rent as well. So thankful we purchased the travel protection or we would have been out quite a bit of money. You do have to really pay attention when doing the claim. Somehow I missed the section for flight reimbursement and wound up filing a 2nd claim. When I called to figure out what I did, they were very helpful!

AFTER EXPLAINING EXPERIENCE ON Trustpilot, TripMate PAID UP! DO NOT BUY TRIP MATE. We have purchased TRIP MATE insurance for 4 separate Viking cruises. After submitting and resubmitting all of our loss documentation for completely missing our Bergen, Norway extension, our claim was denied. Our travel buddies were reimbursed, as we had identical arrangements. With our travel buddies permission, we gave their claim numbers to TRIP MATE and asked why they were reimbursed and we were not. How did TRIP MATE handle this? They sent us another denial and said it was an error that our travel buddies were paid. 8 months after the trip they requested our friends RETURN the funds they were paid! This experience and Viking claiming no responsibility has soured us on using either company again. We also purchased Viking Air Plus for smooth, seamless travel. Very disappointing.

No Reimbursement for Covered Expenses My husband had an accident in Prague. Trip Mate claimed they'd pay for everything since Medicare does not pay medical expenses outside of the USA. Trip Mate did pay for some of his medical expenses, but anything--hospital deposit, ambulance, initial doctor expenses, my hotel room while he was hospitalized--I paid with my credit card, Those expenses were never reimbursed me. I filed the claim documents, including support documentation, 4 times. Even though initially, I mailed it in, they claimed they could not read it. So, I sent them electronic copies. Twice when I checked on the claim status, it showed the claim was closed for lack of information. Each time I called, they claimed they would open up the claim again. It's been almost a year since his accident, and I'm giving up trying to get reimbursed. So, beware, if you pay any medical expenses with your credit card, it's doubtful you'll be reimbursed.
