I 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!!!

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.

After paying for my trip I was… After paying for my trip I was diagnosed with cancer and had to undergo treatment during the time of the scheduled trip. My refund was issued quickly and I even got the cancelation fee refunded. I only paid for the cheaper insurance so I wasn't sure if the cancelation fee would be refunded.

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!

Viking and TripMate made the claim a good experience We purchased a Viking river cruise in France in June 2023 for sail in March-April of 2024. As a part of that package we purchased TripMate insurance that would allow us to cancel for any reason up to the day of travel. I was laid off in January 2024, and needed to cancel the trip to recoup those funds. TripMate processed the claim promptly and full refunded our trip. Viking helped get the process started by providing good guidance, and they were accurate in their description of the end-to-end experience.
