GBDon't waste your money, time, or energy Just don't bother. I bought insurance for a trip that was canceled at the last minute because of a medical issue. I spent months going back and forth with them, sending them any documentation I could get, spending hours on the phone trying to get said documentation, only for them to tell me the documentation I provided wasn't what was required -- and they told me this again and again, even when I got them specifically what they asked for. This went on for three months. Ultimately, they sent me an email saying that they couldn't give me any of my money back because (a) the trip was canceled with less than 48 hours notice, and (b) my doctor (who wrote multiple letters to them trying to explain the problem) didn't explicitly state that he recommended the trip be canceled. The fact that the trip was canceled less than two days before I was due to leave is something they knew from the very beginning, so they literally wasted hours and hours of my time (again, for three months) running me ragged to get "documentation" that they didn't even need. I know insurance companies thrive off of avoiding paying out to "clients," but to string people along like this is just needlessly cruel. "Cancel for Any Reason benefit" my ass.

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.

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.

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.

GBTin Leg Insurance - Not Responsive I have had 3 trip insurance claims open for 6 months. I have provided all requested information and documentation multiple times. I was sent to the Zero Complaint Department. They did zero about my complaint other than having me send them all the documentation again. My calls get routed to voicemail or I get sent to another agent who’s going to “take care of it today”….then nothing.
