Review of Seven Corners Travel Insurance 2024

Seven Corners Travel Insurance

Seven Corners offers a range of unique travel insurance plans for U.S. residents, non-U.S. residents and traveling groups. While some of the company’s plans are geared to trips that take place in the United States, others are for international trips or even for frequent travelers who need coverage for multiple travel plans over the course of a year.

Standout features of Seven Corners travel insurance plans include relatively high coverage amounts for emergency medical expenses and medical evacuation as well as optional coverage options for rental cars, sports and golf equipment rentals, and ticket registration fees. For example, the Seven Corners Trip Protection Choice plan for individual trips covers groups of up to 10 travelers and comes with up to $500,000 in primary coverage for emergency medical expenses and up to $1 million in primary coverage for emergency medical evacuation and repatriation of remains. This plan also comes with a waiver for preexisting medical conditions if purchased within 20 days of making an initial trip payment.

Some Seven Corners plans also let travelers buy cancel for any reason (CFAR) coverage that lets them get reimbursement for eligible prepaid travel expenses if they cannot travel for any reason, as well as interruption for any reason (IFAR) coverage that reimburses prepaid expenses when a trip is interrupted for a reason beyond the traveler’s control. Both CFAR and IFAR coverage offered through Seven Corners will reimburse insured trip costs up to 75%, which is higher than some other travel insurance companies offer.

As you can see, Seven Corners offers two main plans to cover trips for individuals, couples, families or groups of up to 10 people. Here’s an overview of the type of traveler each type of plan could work best for:

  • Trip Protection Basic: Trip Protection Basic offers some essential coverages for travelers who want the bare minimum protection. For example, trip cancellations and interruptions are covered at 100%, yet coverage for emergency medical expenses is secondary to other insurance. This plan is therefore better for U.S. residents traveling within the United States where their own health insurance coverage would apply.
  • Trip Protection Choice: This plan from Seven Corners offers robust coverage limits for emergency medical expenses, emergency medical evacuation, trip cancellations, trip interruptions and more. Also note that this plan lets travelers qualify for a preexisting medical condition exclusion waiver if they buy coverage within 20 days of making an initial deposit on their trip.

We filed a claim on this policy

We filed a claim on this policy. The filing was very easy. The company communicated with us immediately about it. The claim was paid in full and quite quickly. Thank you very much for a good customer experience. – Margaret K. via Trustpilot

Wonderful experience from day one

I’ve had called the Seven Corners number of times and from the initial call, they were very professional and pro-active to assist me. Every person I spoke to was able to get access to updated information regarding my case and very helpful. I really appreciate working with this company. – K.H. via Trustpilot

Glad for Cancel for Any Reason Provision

“We were able to use the cancel for any reason provision of our policy after our daughters dog was diagnosed with cancer 3 days before departure. We were thankful we added this on. The claims process is clunky and I feel like Seven Corners makes this process complicated and convoluted on purpose. Like not requesting all the documents needed up front, but asking for documents one at a time week after week in the process and then taking a week to respond back. But we able to get it done.” – Kent via Trustpilot

Policy: RoundTrip

This company chose to interpret my claim as a trip interruption rather than a missed connection, which it clearly was. Even at that, they refused to cover more than one day even though the delay was 28 hours. They put me through several rounds of paperwork which had nothing to do with the claim before they would even pay $150. – Martha via Squaremouth

Seven Corners Roundtrip

I finally after more than five months managed to get most of my money back from a trip canceled in January. I became sick, had to return home and have been jerked around like you wouldn’t believe. Even though I had verification of my claim, they made me repeatedly resend information they already had. The supervisor of [Name Removed] wasn’t cooperative. She was actually rude. I was on the verge of tears many times—couldn’t believe what I had to go through. I am getting the majority of expenses returned through much effort on my part. This company isn’t honest and really puts one through the paces to get any positive action. I will never use them again and neither will any of my friends if I can help it. – Joan S. via InsureMyTrip

Where Do Seven Corners Insurance Plans Fall Short Compared to Competitors?

Seven Corners is one of the best travel insurance companies in the United States. However, it has its flaws. One of the significant downfalls of Seven Corners is the lack of the 10-day free policy review period. Many travel companies offer their clients ten days to review the terms of the policy. If they are not happy with the terms of the policy, clients can return it for a full refund.

Most Seven Corners policies do not offer this review period. This lack of review period makes it more challenging to return the policy if you are not pleased with the conditions.

The Overall Seven Corners Experience

Overall, Seven Corners stands above the competition in customer service and availability, as well as products. Their customer service representatives are always available and easy to reach.

Customers rate their experiences very positively. Users can quickly settle claims and receive payouts without a problem. The only negative issues reported is their cancellation policy.

Conclusion

Seven Corners Travel Insurance provides a diverse range of travel insurance plans tailored for both U.S. and non-U.S. residents, covering domestic and international trips, as well as offering annual plans for frequent travelers. Standout features include high coverage limits for emergency medical expenses and medical evacuations, and optional add-ons for rental cars, sports equipment, and event ticket fees.
