What a load of rubbish. I have been updating my original post as to my claim that has been dragging on now for over a year. My last contact with TripMate was on the 17/04/2024, since then silence. Will notify you when the cheque will be mailed out to me. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Yet more hot air from their customer service. This is one really bad company. DONT USE THEM…..

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.

DON’T USE THEM!!! DON’T USE THEM!!!! I filed a claim in October die to my sister was sick. Now she has passed and I still haven’t received my refund. Viking is such a wonderful company for travel. I can’t believe that they would refer them as the recommended travel insurance company . Moral of the story, get your own insurance. Don’t use travel mate! I may have to get a lawyer to get my refund back.

surprisingly easy We were surprised on how easy the process was. Our flight was canceled and we weren't able to leave until the next day. They reimbursed the hotel night at the airport and the lost day at the resort. Filled out the claim, included all the documentation requested, and quickly received a refund.

Illness prevented going on the trip My daughter became really ill right before her trip and was unable to attend. Tripmate was very helpful and the process was easy. I received 85% of my money back and was satisfied with the outcome. I will purchase this trip insurance again in the future.
