Travelex Travel Basic
This travel insurance plan contains good coverage for most aspects of our travel. In my opinion the price of travel insurance in general is too high. Five percent of the trip cost would be more reasonable than the normal ten percent.
Don’t need some of the coverages on the policy as we have the same insurance elsewhere.
We rarely needed to make a claim as we were able to reschedule cancelled trips with the trip provider with no loss of $$$$.
Do recommend travel insurance for the medical coverage as USA medical insurance does not cover you out of the country.

I didn't have to make a claim so I don't have experience with that, but the purchasing process was great. I will use this site again in the future.

I never use to take out travel insurance until my husband was diagnosed with cancer. Plans can be made but you never know what life brings. On this last trip it ended up one of my children had emergency surgery a month before we were to leave. I was not sure if we would proceed with our plans. Luckily everything was fine and we did go but I was not stressed knowing I had the travel insurance if plans had changed.

    Thank you for your review. To receive higher medical coverage you can review Travelex's other policy, Travel Select. This will not only provide higher medical coverage but the limits on baggage loss, baggage delay, trip delay and medical evacuation will be increased as well. In the future, please call us at 800-487-4722 and we can assist you with finding the best plan for your concerns.

I have always purchased travel insurance, however this was the first time I actually had to use it. Travelex provided me the best plan for an affordable price, and covered my claim fully. I would recommend this company without reservation!

While I've purchased trip insurance for many years, this is the first time (thankfully!) I've had to make a claim, thanks to Hurricane Dorian. Easy online claims process and very quick response.

I felt good because I was protected. I am an older person so I had to pay a higher premium. I wish I did not have to do that. The policy does cover what I needed to have covered but I did not have to use it.

    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.
