That's why you buy insurance, right? You hope you never need it.

I purchased an excellent plan, which, thankfully, I didn't need to use while overseas. On-line process was smooth & simple. I'll be back before my next trip!

June 14 I just sent in my claim for medical aboard ship and lost bag when departure between ship and air port. Now I will find out how good they are. The claim I turned in was taken care of in about 8 days after sending in claim VERY satisfied.

I considered several trip insurance providers for our trips to Panama and Europe. Travelex offered the best value of all the travel insurance providers, and InsureMyTrip made it easy to do my comparison shopping. A key decision point for me was that Travelex offered primary coverage, rather than secondary coverage.

I resent that the costs go up so dramatically with age, although having insurance does give peace of mind.

    Thank you for your feedback on the policy.

    Policy premium is calculated based on three main factors: trip cost, length of travel, and ages of the travelers. You actually chose a very competitive policy since the premium works out to be only 5% of your total trip cost. It is not unusual for premiums to run as high as 8-10% of the total trip cost for some plans.

We traveled with Vantage on a river cruise and everything went very smoothly. This was our 5th trip with Vantage and we are planning a French river boat cruise this year also with Vantage.
