Nonostante le innumerevoli mail e…
Nonostante le innumerevoli mail e richiesta di assistenza diventa impossibile presentarela richiesta di risarcimento!
questo nonostante sia stata inviato un documento ufficiale dei carabinieri che conferma il furto dei bagagli e del passaporto!
Consiglio vivamente di non stipulare nessuna assicurazione con XCover e aggiungo che Booking, il quale propone questa assicurazione è complice della truffa!!!!

Cover Genius is a fraud
Cover Genius, aka Xcover, is a fraud sold by Bookings.com. I had booked airfares from the US to Europe, my partner was injured in a fall prior to our departure date, hospitalized, and had extensive treatment. We cancelled the insured flights. Xcover continues to send the same email to us requesting additional information but does not specify what that needed information is. Today, they "cancelled" our claim due to our failure to supply "requested information". They have no phone number and requests through their contact form receive no response. Bookings.com shares culpability by promoting this fraud when booking travel.

XCover Not to be Trusted
XCover is a flight insurance company that should not be trusted. I had bought a flight ticket to go and see my 100-year old grandfather in Texas--hoping to see him one last time before he passed away. However, as a dad of four sons whose oldest has been experiencing a very difficult mental health situation, I opted to buy flight insurance through XCover (Cover Genius, parent company). As the date of my flight departure came close, our oldest son had a relapse and a very scary situation. On the recommendation of our son's social worker and therapist, I decided to cancel the trip. I had to upload our son's full medical history, diagnosis, and additionally obtained a current letter from his social worker and therapist, on letterhead, clearly stating that it would not be good for me to leave home due to our son's mental health and medical status. Thus, I provided impeccable documentation to XCover, only to have the claim immediately denied (same day). They then stated they needed further documentation, which I provided and resubmitted the claim. It was again denied on the same day. I tried a third time and included a specific note begging anyone at XCover (Cover Genius) to at least call me so we could talk through why the claim is consistently being denied, even though all documentation is provided, dated, and included on specific medical professional letterhead. No one replied to my note or ever called me back. I am shocked by both the rapid denial of my claims, even though I provided ample documentation, including an extensive medical history and diagnosis, as well as social worker's / therapist's official letter with specific recommendation that I not leave home at this precarious time. As a father of four sons, I have never before encountered a company like XCover (Cover Genius) who simply immediately denies all claims, in rapid response, and requests more documentation, but then when given the EXACT documentation requested, denies the claims again--yet never calls back or provides a way to communicate with them. Utterly shocking.

Absolutely horrible
Absolutely horrible! I was RAPED at a Glamping RV Resort and have multiple injuries, the “resort” actually kicked ME out when I made complaint, Sheriffs caught the guy but I will have months and years of therapy (I am a 60 year old widow) AND a broken tooth that I will be having root canal next week plus multiple trips to court which is in a County seven hours from my home! I have sent their “representatives” over 25 emails with doctor bills, receipts for items taken for evidence, including three hour Sheriff interview! They keep closing claims and most recently offered me $500 and asked for my bank routing number which I had already provided! I told Priceline that they should never book anyone into that place again and complained about the shameful way this insurance company has handled my claim! BEWARE of this company if you value your time and dignity….delay, delay, deny and try to close without out full settlement! Dishonest and disrespectful to “customers!” AND now they are sending a message to say they can’t find me in their system?????….delay, deny, lie! And here is PROOF via a message that I have coverage with this dishonest company…
” Hi there, thanks for adding XCover via Priceline! We just emailed an important update. Please check your email to learn more.”
I am reporting them to the California Department of Insurance!

This company gives you the runaround…
UPDATE: after submitting complaints in every conceivable place, they responded and are now in the “process of resolving”. My advice remains the same. Use a company that actually has service and support and not one that will only reply when threatened with legal and public action.
This company gives you the runaround for months instead of paying out claims
I paid for this insurance via RentalCover, one of your companies and have had to do an incredible amount of work to even try to get the incident, clearly covered by my contract, covered. No phone number, no customer service. Just emails back every few months telling me that they are rejecting my claim.
If you are a consumer, don't use any of their products, they exist only as an add on to increase income and they provide fraudulent products in response. Everyone I've been able to get in contact with who is associated with them confirms that this is their model.

This company will take your money for supposed insurance coverage then they will find an excuse to deny your claim!
This company is an absolute scam! Don’t purchase any form of insurance from them! I purchased insurance for two concert tickets for my daughter and I and on the way to the concert we ended up with a nail in one of my tires. We were unable to keep it filled with air after this which made it unsafe to drive the rest of the way to the concert for safety reasons. I filed a claim immediately with proof of the nail in my tire and they said this type of incident isn’t covered with the insurance I purchased. What’s the point of purchasing insurance if unforeseen circumstances like this aren’t covered for some reason they probably made up to deny my claim? No where in any of the wording does it say something like this isn’t covered by the insurance purchased. My claim was denied after the event had passed making my tickets non-refundable through AXS-USA as well. Absolute waste of money! Won’t ever purchase insurance through this company again! I do not recommend anyone purchase any form of insurance through this company ever!!
Update: I responded to an email you guys sent me with my claim for this incident being denied. I sent over the information requested as well as screenshots of my insurance purchase, purchase date etc.
Hopefully this can resolved because this is definitely a very upsetting experience.
This is the email I received from claims@xcover

We booked a trip bundle on Priceline…
We booked a trip bundle on Priceline and bought the embedded'XCover' to protect our trip medically and funds in case anything were to happen we could get refunded if a cancellation were to happen
The trip is coming up in 10 days, we both are diagnosed with Covid since yesterday, we can't seem to use the form to file a claim at xcover./claim and the phone support is not live representative support. Priceline has been dishonest, dispondent and driving this customer crazy.
