I did not have to use the insurance I purchased from you thank goodness, but it did give me security. I had a wonderful holiday thank you.

As always, an insurance plan is something you would prefer avoiding using. Ease of mind is well worth the value for money, especially so when out in a safari camp, as we were.

The email responses take too long. It's supposed to be an international plan but it does not account for ways for people overseas to get in touch. I twice requested a phone call back via email as international calls to the 800-number based in the USA are expensive and there's no way to call collect from a cell phone. However both times I didn't receive an email back until 1-2 days later and no one ever called me back as requested. Thankfully there was no emergency and i decided I could live without the follow-up. In theory it covers the basics in case of an emergency abroad. In practice, I haven't had to put it to the test.

Insurance was required by the tour company we were traveling with. Fortunately we did not have any accidents and did not have to utilize the insurance. However, someone else in the tour group did. It was reassuring to us to know we had the insurance just in case. One big thing to remember though is that this is a reimbursement policy, you have to pay for any services needed up front from your own resources, then get paid back...hopefully.
