GBTin Leg Travel NONInsurance I have bought 5 Tin Leg travel insurance policies and only made a claim on my last trip. Traveling to Houston I became very ill and spent 6 days in the hospital. For the past 6 months they have asked for alot of the same information over and over and there is no way to simply call and talk with your insurance person. So you email and email giving them all the info they want. Finally they told me to show them what I've paid and they will let me know what they will cover. I have an over $50k bill from the hospital - I was very ill... I'm also not in a position to pay $50k. They are saying the policy states they only reimburse. So after 6 months of communication I have paid for nonexistent travel insurance. The policy stated it covered up to$250k in medical expenses, but never that you paid it first. I've started a claim with Better Business Bureau and next I'm going to look into a class action suit. I'll bet others will join in. I travel several times a year, next time I'll use Allianz.

GBGreat until you have a claim My 6th and last policy with TinLeg. Great until you have a claim. Sent in all paperwork requested. 20 minute phone interview. More paperwork requested and sent in. Still not good enough. Have spent so much time searching and providing evidence for a small medical claim on a cruise. Still they need more, how do I prove I was on cruise and on the flight home. Finally gave up. Not worth the time and effort.

GBSquaremouth IS Tinleg and crooks Squaremouth IS Tinleg. be aware that the two companies are owned by the same people, so when "shopping" for travel insurance on Squaremouth, you are actually on Tin Leg's site. it's a scam, pure and simple. After denying my claim for trip cancelation i have submitted an "appeal" which they have been sitting on for weeks. even though i have a written document which clearly states the tour has been CANCELED, they continue to insist that the trip was interupted, and that is thier defense. any excuse to not pay. I will update this when they finally respond.

GBDo not use this company Do not use this company. I travel all over the world and always purchased travel insurance. I have been lucky to only ever had the need to make a claim twice, once with another company, who were wonderful to deal with and then with Tin Leg. Tin Leg, is slow, they found every reason to deny the claim. They denied both my and a friends claim who I was travelling with. We had the same flights, hotels, expenses, etc. However, my friend was an attorney and challenged their denial after reading their policy, they then approved her claim, while still not approving mine. It was not until, she assisted me that they decided to approve my claim (I still have not been reimbursed 5 months later) due to a claims adjuster making the process as difficult as possible. It is a shame that you have to have legal representation to have a legitimate claim paid out.

GBWaste of money and time! Waste of money and time! After having to cut short trip to middle east due to Hamas invasion on Israel, I had to alter travel plans that were "supposed" to be covered by my expensive Tinleg travel insurance. It is now 5 months since I have submitted my claim, 5 (five!) different interchanges with their claims department wanting more and more information. The latest request was to see a copy of our boarding pass from our shortened trip!!! Shameful!
