Review: CSA calls Hurricane Ike - a foreseeable event?!
To make a long story short, my husband and I had to cancel a trip to the Carribean less than 24 hours before departure due to Hurrican Hanna and we had no travel insurance. We booked another trip to the Texas shore beginning the next day - dumb move - Hurricane Ike came thru shortening our vacation to 3 days. We purchased travel insurance from CSA - another dumb move. We were denied coverage because "the last day to purchase a policy providing losses related to Hurricane Ike was 8/31/08. At that time, this was a named-storm, and no longer an unforeseen event."

They took our money for the insurance even though we said why we were purchasing this. We lost the rental money on the condo, had to pay additional hotel expenses, drive to San Antonio, and Delta airlines charged us for change fee. What an expensive 3 day vacation!

Do you really think that someone would deliberately travel to an area where there is a foreseeable event?

Be careful -hurricanes are sometimes named weeks in advance. Since this is now a foreseeable event according to CSA, don't bother buying any insurance. Very disappointed in this company. My husband and I along with the companies we work for will no longer be using CSA.

Review: CSA is a Rip-off do not use them!
I purchased travel insurance for peace of mind, if something should go wrong with my trip. Well something did go wrong and I had my pocket picked in St. Petersburg Russia on my first day of arrival. It had my ID and credit cards and a lot of cash.
Suddenly I was with very little money only enough to last a day or two. I had to go thorough extreme red tape to get money from my credit card company, and I spent days dealing with multiple police reports, so I could make an insurance claim.
I also contacted CSA through email telling them I was in despite trouble and needed emergency cash immediately… They never helped me!
After about four days of this and not getting my credit card in time. I realized if I did not return home immediately I would become destitute without money in a country I couldn’t even speak the language.
With great sadness I had to cancel my trip.
When I returned home I spent hours gathering up information and composing a detailed report of my situation and experience along with a police report of my losses. After two weeks I heard back from them telling me they are giving me essentially nothing! They are cold-blooded people who do not care about your misfortune; they are only interested in getting your money. DO NOT USE THEM!

Review: Do Your Own Research
I came across this companies website from a recommendation of a Travel Agent. I wanted to add insurance to my Caribbean Cruise. I was told to shop around instead of purchasing directly from a Travel Agent because they may earn a commission as well. I went to several websites but found this one informative and easy to use. I purchased a policy directly online and received my contract within minutes. I will use this company in the future.

Review: Rip Off
I had never previously purchased a "travel protection" policy. This was insisted on by the 'free agent' who planned the tour. One buys insurance for the "unforeseen" so one cannaot evaluate a policies coverage until after an incident occurs. A claim was necessary - something that was clearly covered by the policy. The claim was denied - apparently because it did not meet the tortured, limited verbage contained. I will NEVER purchase another policy. I will spend the money on myself, since I had to pay for all items coverd by the policy myself, anyway. It was merely a "donation" to CSA.
