      Zero star insurance company. The only 5 star reviews come from people that haven't had to file a claim. I had a policy in 2022 that was to cover me for my 2 months of travel in Europe. I fell down some stairs in ************. and hurt both my arms. Nearly broke them both. They swelled up hugely and I new that was going to end my trip. I went online the same day and found a one way flight that was less than a third of what the airlines were charging so I booked it. $495 was the cost. I came home the next day and immediately went to my primary doctor to get x-rays to see if anything was actually broken and they were not, lucky. I then filed a claim to simply get my $495 airfare back as my insurance took care of the doctors here in the ***. Everything I did saved them thousands of dollars had I gone to a doctor in ***********, and then booked a one-way flight home. After a month or two they simply denied me everything. ****, and said because I didn't call them and see their doctors in *********** I had no claim. I showed them pictures of my arms all swelled up and my doctors report from here but that did not matter. I have just had another incident on a cruise and got great service from AON. I will use them or Allianz in the future. What AXA offers sounds great until you file a claim. I expect them to answer this review with their normal, WE REALLY CARE LETTER AND WE'LL LOOK INTO THIS. Total BS. What they are really good at is answering you, 100%, on how you won't get paid for your claim.
