Real-Life Stories from Travel Guard Customers

“Travel Guard provided me with very personalized service.”

After a medical emergency in Hawaii, Travel Guard called me in the hospital to see that everything was ok and followed up with me once I was released. It was reassuring to know that they were there right from the beginning and that there was communication between the hospital and them. I am a very healthy young woman and live an active lifestyle complete with daily exercise, good food and meditation; but, even then, you never know what is going to happen. It is important to insure yourself. Travel Guard provided me with very personalized service; versus some of the companies I have purchased a plan with in the past.

“Travel Guard was right by my side throughout the horrible experience.”

I never miss a chance to sing the praises of Travel Guard. On a fall 2023 trip to London, my 75-year-old husband became critically ill with what the hospital told us was encephalitis. I called Travel Guard immediately, and those heroes there were then right by my side throughout the horrible experience. Someone called me every day to check on how I was doing, stayed in contact with the doctors (not easy because they kept going on strike) and when my husband was well enough to fly home, Travel Guard helped arrange all our flights back to East Tennessee in business class. Travel Guard went to bat for me with the British doctors who didn’t want to let us leave after three weeks, but they finally released us. The nicest young man drove us to Heathrow and went above and beyond to help me navigate that huge airport and get my husband (still not walking) a wheelchair. He didn’t have to do that, but he did. David, the Travel Guard driver who met us in Nashville to take us the 200 miles home to near Knoxville, was a prince of a person, so kind and caring. I get teary just thinking about it. Travel Guard absolutely does what they say they will do, and they do it with empathy. I think I must have personally sold a dozen policies since this experience! Husband is now fine, but I’m not sure he would even be here without Travel Guard. I take every opportunity to thank you.

“They did everything they could for me!”

I had a great experience with Travel Guard. It was my first time out of the United States and being sick and alone was not a good feeling. Travel Guard assisted me so quickly and it really felt like they did everything they could for me! Once I found out I could find a flight home, I think I started crying on the phone because I was so happy that someone could help me. I am so glad that I decided to purchase the travel insurance plan and always will advise anyone to purchase a travel insurance plan from Travel Guard on their next trip.

I have worked and traveled all over the world for over 30 years and now consider Travel Guard the most important aspect of my planning for any trip that I go on. First, they provide the best travel insurance plan of all the companies that are in the market place.

Second, their travel insurance coverage is comprehensive and provides detail of every aspect. You know exactly what you are signing up for. Lastly, they provide great personal service and follow-up with any questions or claims that you may have.

“Travel Guard provided me with very personalized service.”

Onboard what should have been a dream vacation with my wife, I experienced a life-threatening medical situation that prompted our ship captain to change the course of the cruise ship to get me to the nearest hospital. After an initial examination at the local hospital in Mexico it was decided I should be airlifted to a hospital in Florida where I was in the ICU for several days. Once my doctors deemed me fit to travel, Travel Guard coordinated a medical escort to assist me on the flight home. Travel Guard took care of all the flight arrangements and ensured I got home safely. The people at Travel Guard are the best, I really can’t say enough about the professionalism and service I experienced.

“So grateful I had Travel Guard to call.”

On day three of my trip to Maui, I was hit by a rogue wave that broke my collarbone and four ribs. I immediately called Travel Guard, and they were very helpful and walked me through all my needs at that point. It was nice talking to a sympathetic person. When I returned home they were helpful with my medical bills on the island and reimbursed me for most everything that wasn’t covered by my other insurance. So grateful I had Travel Guard to call. Thank you!

“They helped us cancel all reservations for the trip.”

My husband and I were packed and ready to travel to Australia and New Zealand a few years ago. A few days before our scheduled departure, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Several months of treatment were required. Thus, our long-scheduled trip was cancelled. Travel Guard was very quick to refund our already paid expenses. They helped us cancel all reservations for the trip. Upon successful cancer treatment, my husband and I resumed our travels. We always used Travel Guard for coverage of our trip expenses.

“Travel Guard made it very easy.”

My wife and I had signed up for a trekking trip to Peru. A few months before the trip my wife developed a problem with her foot that ultimately required surgery. She was not able to go trekking. Travel Guard made it very easy for me to submit all the necessary documentation to make a claim for my wife’s trip amount online.

All was very straightforward, and my claim was honored with no muss or fuss. From that time, all our trips are insured with Travel Guard.

“We will never travel without Travel Guard.”

A few years ago, our luggage was lost after a flight in Italy and Travel Guard helped us with clothing allowance as well as working with our airline to find our luggage. We received our bags three days later. We will never travel without Travel Guard.
