GBAFTER 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.

THWhat 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…..

GBsurprisingly 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.

GBI wish I could give 0 stars I wish I could give 0 stars. I'm literally about to cry. Trip mate did pay for our trip that we had to miss due to my daughter's illness. However, once I received the check and deposited into my bank, their bank refused payment. Now I have a rather large negative balance in my account and I have been given the run around all day. I have pending payments that are going to be returned and will have to pay fees on payments that have already gone through. Plus, if they just send me another check, my bank said it could take up to 10 days for me to have access to it (since obviously their checks are bad). I'm so frustrated right now. Do not use this company!!!

GBDO NOt BUY THIS TRAVEL INSURANCE! In October 2023 we went on a Viking Cruise and purchased Trip Mate Ins. I fell on loose cobblestones in Germany and had to get 3 stitches in my head. The doctor ordered 3 days bedrest, so we missed three days of the cruise and excursions. We filled the extensive claim in November with all the required forms and receipts. Over the course of five months continually emailed asking us for for various forms and receipts that we sent in with the original claim. For trip interruption they owed us $3,100, they just sent us a e-check for $318.00. I would give them a zero rating if I could. Do not buy this insurance.
