Travelex Travel Basic
The plan seemed to cover everything we needed but we didn’t claim anything so it’s hard to say if we’d be reimbursed.

It is difficult to rate travel insurance as good or bad if you are fortunate enough to never have to file a claim. My trip went very smoothly. A friend gave me a list of possible travel insurance plans to look at which included the Travelex plan I purchased. I will include Travelex in the search for insurance for my next trip.

I read the plan through and was satisfied that the coverage would fit with the trip I planned. I was very happy with the flexibility that was offered as I added flights and destinations to my original trip. It was never a problem and the expanded coverage was always easy to obtain. I also was happy I did not have to test this the plan as I never needed to use it.

I was glad I did not have to use the plan. But felt it was very costly compared to other Travelex plans I have purchased.

    Thank you for submitting a review to assist your fellow travelers.

    Comprehensive plan premiums are calculated based on your age, trip cost and length of trip. Since your previous Travelex Basic plan was based on a total trip cost of 2226 USD, you would have seen a considerable increase in premium for this trip since it has a total trip cost of 6184 USD.

Didn't have to use the plan - thank goodness. But we came close - We were having dinner on a patio (in South Africa) when our daughter felt a something move against her shoe. She looked down and saw a 5 foot snake slithering over her foot. It was a Puff Ader Viper - the snake that causes the most deaths in Africa.
