Had to make a claim for travel delay and they covered all of my requests. Will buy again.

    Thank you for providing your feedback. There are 3 main factors that determine premium costs: the cost of the trip, the length of the trip, and the travelers ages.

    In the future, if you are looking for guidance in selecting a travel insurance plan, please consider contacting our office at 800-487-4722 where a licensed representative would be happy to assist you.

We came "this close" to needing the coverage, and were glad it was there as things got worse. Fortunately, things got back on track and we did not have to file a claim.

It was excellent compared to my husband's health insurance, which plan had high deductible for medical and nothing for dental.

Did not need to file a claim, but it was nice to know that the coverage was there just in case we needed it. We had a claim on our last trip that was taken care of promptly, so we came back for this trip.

We had the almost unbelievable misfortune to have two, count them 2, 24-hour travel delays on this trip: one going, and one coming back. If something like that happens to you, be sure to save every piece of paper you get: old and new boarding passes, original itinerary, etc. You will need them to file a claim. The company was great. They paid the claim promptly and with a note that said: "It has been a pleasure to be of service."

No claim, so no idea about the coverage: would it have paid, what kind of fine print would have been used not to pay, etc. In the past, though, Travelex did pay a claim (after appeals, etc., but did pay).

    The refund from Travelex in this case was for the policy premium.
