GBDon't Use Tin Leg Travel Insurance Company! In October I fractured two vertebra in a boating accident on a remote island in the Galapagos. There was no hospital and no MRI available so my condition was not diagnosed until I returned to the US. However, the pain of two fractured vertebra was so severe, the next day I could not climb into the small prop plane that was the only way off the island. I had to rebook my flight and it took two days before I was able to move enough to get onto the plane. I asked to be reimbursed for the cost of the new plane flight and was told I had to have a letter from a doctor saying I could not leave on the appointed plane, but the doctor did not know my back was broken because he didn't have the equipment to diagnose it, so no letter was possible. I provided documentation of my condition when I returned to US and had an MRI but Tin Leg refused reimburse me for the changed flight.

GBPoor service from Tin Leg I purchased a travel policy for a very expensive safari to Tanzania. I posted a small claim, about 5%, of the total amount insured for extra expenses incurred when a regional flight from Kilimanjaro to Nairobi was reschedule 2 hours later than planned and would have caused me to miss my flight back to the US. I had to reschedule on a different airline an earlier flight. I found out about the change by email the night before departure and spent 3 hours in the bush trying to get through and have never been able to. I have submitted the requested information 4 times to Tin Leg and each time they ask for more including policies from the small Kenyan airline which I have explained doesn't exist. I provide a letter of explanation from the Travel Agent in S Africa that booked the whole trip verifying the details of the problem. The ball keeps moving. Do NOT insure your trip with Tin Leg.

GBWow, Really Tin Leg I bought travel insurance with Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption. On my Vacation I had a Nile River Cruise booked and "Viator/Trip Advisor" canceled my cruise without explanation. Tin Leg is denying my claim because they don't have a reason why it was canceled. I would think the emails stating the canceled cruise would explain it all. I'll be back to update this review if anything changes. As of 7-3-2022 Tin leg is not communicating at all to resolve what I bought this insurance for. I'll be back to update any Positive or Negative results.

GBDO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY What this company does is tantamount to theft. They happily took my money for the policy, and they have never paid out on my claim for delayed luggage. They passed me off to some third party for processing, I have supplied all of the requested documentation, and NOTHING - SIX MONTHS LATER. They just hope people will go away and give up? Disgusting. If you call, they "escalate" your case, but still NOTHING. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY.

GBIt took 13 months to finally get paid… It took 13 months to finally get paid from Tinleg. Our experience was similar to those described previously. They never review requested documents; they just ask for the same information over and over. I contacted Squaremouth Zero Complaint many times. Finally was reimbursed. It almost wasn't worth the aggravation and time it took to call or email. I guess that is what they're counting on. I can't understand why Forbes gives them such a high rating.
