A trip booked with ******** ********* to Montana from Cincinnati, OH in June ended up with a missed connection due to the Cincinnati flight crew being late. We missed our connecting flight in Chicago to Bozeman. No other flight for two days, and our tour group would depart from Bozeman the next day. After calling the emergency staff at ********, a flight to Jackson Hole was arranged, with a driver taking us to Bozeman. The cost for that driver was $240 per person. Four of us were in that Cinci group. We paid the $240 and made it to Bozeman in time to join our tour group. One person has already been reimbursed from TravelEx. We all submitted the same documents with the same reason for the delay, etc. However my husband and I are getting the runaround. It has taken 6 month+ and still no refund. All documents are complete. We just keep hearing that it is “under review” and yet another person from our group got her money reimbursed right away. After ******** ********* advised us as to what to do and arranged for our transportation to Bozeman, we just followed the advice and took the $240 per person driver. Now we are stuck waiting with no progress from this company. I contacted them about twice a month, only getting the same answer…under review. I spoke personally to the claims agent. He said the same thing. Poor customer service!Business Response

On June 6, 2023, we purchased a protection plan for our trip to Israel on November 23, 2023.
The trip was canceled, and ********* ***** promised to refund our money until July 2024. We purchased the insurance at *********** recommendation and because we had prior knowledge of unrest in the area.
We contacted Travelex in July who stated we were not due a refund unless it occurred -

We paid $374 travel insurance to Travelex Insurance services for a trip to Israel Aug 15, 2023. The trip, scheduled for 1 Feb 2024, was cancelled because of the war, which is understandable. Our problem is we would like our policy cost refunded, but we cannot get Travelex to even answer our Email of July 10th, 2024.Business Response

Re: Confirmation-
*********
Plan number-
*******
A basic travel insurance plan policy was purchased through the Travelex Insurance Services company for trip cancellation coverage dates 11/07/2023 to 11/17/2023 for ******* ****** and ***** ******. Total cost $548.00
Travelex Insurance Services company was a third party referred to us by *********** Cruises and Tours. Which is the travel agency our trip was scheduled through for dates 11/07/2023 to 11/17/2023. On October 7, 2023, a terrorist attack and invasion on Israel caused the country to cease all incoming and outgoing travel into Israel. Since that date, the Israel-Hamas war has commenced. Because of these events, our travel company, *********** Cruises and Tours cancelled the trip. After speaking to them about the specifics of the cancellation, *********** Cruises and Tours issued to us a full refund for any payments made for this trip. Then we were encouraged by *********** Cruises and Tours to contact the third party, Travelex Insurance Services to request a full refund for the trip cancellation coverage. Multiple call attempts were made to explain the specific reasons for the trip cancellation by the travel agency. During several conversations and email correspondence with Travelex Insurance Services, we requested a full refund since *********** Cruises and Tours cancelled the trip. Travelex Insurance Services has refused to refund to us any payments made to them for the scheduled trip on 11/07/2023 to 11/17/2023. Therefore, we are filing this complaint in order to recoup the payment made to Travelex Insurance Services for a trip that was cancelled by the travel agency. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.Business Response

Please find attached the response to ***** BBB Complaint ID: ********Please allow this letter to serve as Travelex Insurance Services, Inc. (“Travelex Insurance”) response to case #********, for ******* and ***** ******, dated July 26, 2024.
Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance Company (“BHSIC”) is the underwriter and claim administrator for the policy you purchased. Travelex does not make claim determinations. It is important to remember that insurance is highly regulated, all benefits, terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions of the policy apply, and documentation is required, for any claim.
We were able to obtain documentation from *********** Tours that confirms that you were refunded all that you had paid for your trip.
As requested, the policy has been cancelled and the refund returned to the **** card you used to purchase the policy. We advise that you may see the credit in the next 7-10 business days, but that can vary based on the financial institution.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to me via this email or call our office at ###-###-####.
We trust this reply resolves this inquiry. Should you have any additional questions you may contact Travelex at **********@TravelexInsurance.com.

On April 5, 2024, I purchased trip insurance. The policy gave the impression that if for any reason I had to cancel, it would be covered. They denied my reimbursement stating that it had to be some catastrophic event.Business Response

I scheduled a tour through ******** ****** ***** on 7/18/23 starting with a deposit and paying for the tour on 8/9/23. I was finally able to make the flight arrangements on 8/14/23 that cost was separate. American Israel Tours said it was highly recommended that I purchase Travel Insurance to cover that cost of the tour if anything happened. They advised to click on the link and go over the insurance. The site for Travelex is vague and there was no link to the full policy so I called on 08/16/23 and spoke to a representative. I was never told in that conversation to review the policy prior to purchasing. I was advised to get the package on the phone for covering the complete cost of tour and flight cost which came to $9102.00. Cost of the Insurance was $626.00. The plan Benefits say Trip Cancelation 100%, Trip Interruption 100%. On October 7th Israel declared War. I contacted American Israel Tours and they advised to wait until they officially canceled the tour, so I did not cancel the flight reservations for 4 days. Once I received the tour cancelation notice I filed a claim with Travelex. They said it would be 2 weeks for a determination. I waited only to be sent an email they had a war clause which excluded them from paying the claim. I was told I could appeal and did immediately. I have not heard from them. I saved for 5 years for the trip. I understand unexpected things happen but to not pay any part of the claim is totally not good business ethics. The Confirmation sheet does not even mention a war Clause, I did not receive the entire policy until after the purchase was made and the entire policy send. I believe Travelex has misled it's clients as they did not mention the war clause on the site.Business Response

I was on a trip to ****** from Mar.9th to Mar. 16th of 2023.
Coming out of a bathroom, I missed a step down. when my ankle swelled up I decided to get an X-Ray.
This should be covered under my travel insurance. I have had a claim filed on Mar. 20th and don't seem to be able to get a claim form to file the claim. This is claim # ****** with Travelex Insurance Services. First, they put my e-mail in incorrectly.
They are implying my e-m isn't working. I have received many e-mails?
I now have asked to have a form sent to me via US Mail on Mar. 27th.
I hope this gets resolved quickly! I don't feel confident it will be resolved.Business Response

This issue has been resolved. I wish it was quicker. It shouldn't have taken multiple calls to get a form and submit paper work.
After that was finally resolved it was rather quick. The company should realize they will be dealing with a number of seniors that are not all computer and fax savey.

In researching this consumer inquiry, we have not been able to locate an insured under the name of Sandra ******. In her complaint, she speaks about a claim that is related to damage to her rental property. This appears to be a homeowners property insurance claim as Travelex Insurance Services only offers travel insurance related to insuring a trip while traveling. Please advise of the confirmation number of your policy that you are trying to claim under or review your claim documentation from the company to validate who you should be contacting. At this time, we are unable to provide any further resolution based on the information that was provided.
