Total RIP.OFF It was my fault for not reading the fine print. I cancelled a cruise well beyond the 120 day window. Tripmate was not involved in that refund in any way. Tripmate fees are non refundable even if you are not making a claim for refund through them. This is a RIP OFF!

What a load of rubbish. I have been updating my original post as to my claim that has been dragging on now for over a year. My last contact with TripMate was on the 17/04/2024, since then silence. Will notify you when the cheque will be mailed out to me. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Yet more hot air from their customer service. This is one really bad company. DONT USE THEM…..

DON’T USE THEM!!! DON’T USE THEM!!!! I filed a claim in October die to my sister was sick. Now she has passed and I still haven’t received my refund. Viking is such a wonderful company for travel. I can’t believe that they would refer them as the recommended travel insurance company . Moral of the story, get your own insurance. Don’t use travel mate! I may have to get a lawyer to get my refund back.

Illness prevented going on the trip My daughter became really ill right before her trip and was unable to attend. Tripmate was very helpful and the process was easy. I received 85% of my money back and was satisfied with the outcome. I will purchase this trip insurance again in the future.

Viking and TripMate made the claim a good experience We purchased a Viking river cruise in France in June 2023 for sail in March-April of 2024. As a part of that package we purchased TripMate insurance that would allow us to cancel for any reason up to the day of travel. I was laid off in January 2024, and needed to cancel the trip to recoup those funds. TripMate processed the claim promptly and full refunded our trip. Viking helped get the process started by providing good guidance, and they were accurate in their description of the end-to-end experience.
