CSA Insurance Experience
Posted: Thu Aug 28, 2008 8:54 pm
Hey everybody,
First of all, as soon as I get a spare minute I plan on writing a trip report detailing our two week stay in July. We stayed at Chateaux Margot our first week with 12 of us, then after kicking our good friends off of the island my brother and 3 others joined us at Villa Sanctuary for the second week. As you could expect, both weeks were night and day! We had an awesome "skeeter free" trip and both villas were perfect for us. More about that later.
I had to jump on here to report our experience with CSA travel insurance. I had a small incident with our vehicle from St John Car Rental, my first mishap in 27 years of vacationing there . I backed into a cut down tree in the back parking area of Cinnamon Bay one afternoon and dented the hatch and blew out the back window, I mean glass every where . The tree was hidden behind some foliage, oh well no excuses...sh!t happens. I reported the damage to St John Car Rental and they said to bring the vehicle straight in. They were extremely, I mean extremely nice about the whole thing and gave me another vehicle immediately. They prepared the estimate and filled out a report for my insurance. I called my primary insurance first and got a claim started, then I called the credit card company which would only cover costs over and above what my primary would cover. A little bumbed I told my wife what was up and she said give CSA Travel a call, what could it hurt?. I didn't think about CSA The nice lady from CSA said "yes, we'll be your primary for that damage, just send us the info". Well, on our last day I got the paperwork from St John Car Rental, including photo, and flew home. As understood, St John Car Rental charged my credit card for the repairs. The day after we returned I found an email from CSA advising me what to do. I sent the claim to them the next day and guess what? three weeks later I received my check for the damages! WAY TO GO CSA!!!!!!
Folks, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CSA TRAVEL INSURANCE!!!!! We just started using them 3 years ago, before that NO insurance. Our purpose for buying insurance was not primarily for hurricanes, but for family emergencies. I'm only 45, but I worry that a family emergency may occur during a vacation. Thanks to my wifes suggestion, I now know that they cover auto accidents
I just wanted to spread the good news, now I have to get back to the Redskins game!!
Take care,
Budman
