When my charter cruise was canceled and the organizer offered no refund, I thought that was covered under "default". Silly me! Since the organizer was not insolvent and had not ceased operations, Seven Corners refused to pay and Squaremouth agreed. Bottom line, Squaremouth is not going to pass up those sweet commissions by going against the "insurers". So I threw good money after bad by buying insurance from them. They are polite, but useless.

First of all, I am not disputing the verbiage in the policy itself. My complaint is regarding the purchasing process of this policy right from the start and the use of multiple brand names to create confusion. I will post this under the under brand names so everyone will be aware that it is really the same company. Half my overseas trip was ruined by a situation out of my control and I incurred hundreds of dollars of charges as a result. The entire airport in Manila was closed for the APEC summit meetings. I was relieved to know I had purchased trip insurance from a well-known company in Chicago, John Hancock Insurancewhich according to the website included cancellation and delay. Upon requesting the appropriate claim forms, the form itself says it is actually American Modern Insurance Group. However, after making sure that was the correct form it appears the forms are actually mailed to Seven Corners. I later found out that Sever Corners is only the processor of claims. It appears that multiple companies are involved and that they are simply using different names to confuse and mislead consumers. My claim for trip cancellation was denied and I was advised (after several emails) to file an appeal under a different reason, trip delay. I spent countless hours filing out all the forms again and providing proper documentation and proof of such occurrence. The second claim with "John Hancock Insurance was also denied. There were no responses to my emails, again for weeks. I also, placed many calls and emails to the zero complaint team" at squaremouth.com asking for further clarification regarding my specific trip insurance policy that I purchased. After about a month I finally was given an answer, simply stating, that I was not covered for that reason under that policy. Regardless of the writing in the policy, I am asserting that I was cheated and completely mislead into purchasing this insurance policy from the start. I am asserting that I was lead to believe I was purchasing from a prestigious name; John Hancock Insurance. This was clearly a bait and switch scheme and absolutely unacceptable. In addition, I was not made aware prior to my purchase the extreme limitations of this policy and that I would be dealing with multiple companies other than John Hancock". This would have drastically altered my decision in choosing such a prohibitive policy from unknown companies.

We did not need to file a claim with our insurance company however, purchasing and sorting through companies was ridiculously easy on Squaremouth.com. Even called to confirm about a condition I thought was pre-existing but the representative informed me that my condition was outside of a period of time to look back, which saved me a few bucks on the policy and peace of mind. I was on SiteJabber to leave feedback for Delta, since we had a horrible in flight experience. I noticed that Squaremouth had low reviews, some based on some personal issues with maybe the CEO, and felt compelled to leave my experience which was a Stellar 5+. We do tend to justify spending our time sharing negative experiences, instead of positive ones - let's change that.

I always buy travel insurance on expedia when I book a trip and the main problem has always been the high price I would pay for travel insurance. Squaremouth has been able to consistently offer me the lowest price on travel insurance and for those of us who may have to cancel at the last minute for medical reasons it is almost a necessity to buy the insurance. I have yet to actually cancel a trip so I cannot speak to if they pay out but I can say they are the cheapest around.

I like this site because I can tailor my trip insurance to my specific needs. For this particular trip, I only needed medical evacuation coverage for the days I planned to be in the backcountry, and I found that coverage on this site.

I have dealt with SquareMouth for years and trust them completely

I like having one place to find, filter, and compare policies, though the wording in the policies is still full of legalese and needs to be better described in normal English so regular people can understand it better. Still feel like I am taking a risk with fine print somewhere in the contracts.

I was able to review options, compare plans and purchase within minutes - making this trip much easier to plan under uncertain conditions. Great!

I called SquareMouth and the representative was very helpful. I had confidence in completing the purchase online and I now have piece of mind traveling in these crazy times.

Didn't take more than 30 minutes to compare, review, and execute on the policy that fit best for us.

Only complaint is the requirement to pay for travel insurance within 15 days of purchasing our trip. The trip is 16 months from now.

I purchased this from the Internet and the price was very good, therefore, I would say to use this company.

I had a river cruise scheduled for April of 2020. I was able to cancel my cruise and the insurance that was purchased due to the corona virus. Hope I don't need to use the insurance but this experience has shown me you just never know what's going to happen!

First trip to Europe with our family and wanted peace of mind our family was covered for the many reason you buy this type of insurance. Cancellation, delays, emergency medical and evacuation.

Thank you for making the covid 19 travel insurance easy to find and purchase before my trip to Thailand.

With our current Covid-19 climate I hate to loose out $3500 on a cancelled fishing trip. Finding a plan was easy and the price was very fair.

Robert on live chat was awesome, we are only traveling to Tahoe from the Bay Area but wanted to ensure we had medical evacuation in case of injury or COVID - the coverage also includes hotel and meals in case one of us has to recover up there so we can be together. Great value as well.

Very easy to understand the policy purchased for my granddaughter who will be traveling with her Spanish class this summer.

The woman I spoke with I think her name was Jeanette was so helpful when looking for the insurance.. Great employee during this challenging time.
