Luckily, I didn’t need to use it but it sure felt good knowing I had it in case I did need it.

I purposely selected this policy from Travel Insured International because it claimed to cover Bankruptcy or Default of the trip provider. The trip provider, Vantage Travel, encouraged me to pay them in full in cash, one year in advance, in order to save 10%. Although I normally prefer to pay travel expenses via credit card, this provision in the insurance policy reassured me that it would protect my cash payment. Yet scarcely one month after making the payment, Vantage canceled my trip, offering me a full refund, which never arrived. I contacted Travel Insured International to see if I could file a claim, based on the default provision. They told me to file the claim, requesting all kinds of documentation, including the travel provider's irrelevant cancellation policy if I were to cancel the trip. The claim was denied. Even though, in my opinion, the travel company was in default of payment, the insurance company later told me that their fine print definition of default requires that the travel company should no longer be in business.
Still, I took comfort in the advice of two different insurance representatives that I could use the premium paid for this policy toward another trip. I then tried to do this and was denied the privilege because I had previously filed a rejected claim. So, besides losing the money paid for the trip, I have also lost the money for the insurance premium I paid to protect me. I feel that besides Travel Insured not paying me what I lost, they gave me a lot of conflicting information, so I will never use them again. I advise others to be wary, too, of using this unreliable company.
Update: Eventually Vantage Travel filed for bankruptcy. I then refiled my claim under the bankruptcy clause of this policy. The insurance company turned it down again. The convoluted wording of the bankruptcy clause seems to state that I cannot recover my loss if I actually paid the trip provider for the trip!!! I complained to Insurance My Trip but they were useless.

Had a medical condition that prevented us from taking the trip. All expenses reimbursed. Easy application for coverage, and prompt payment. Highly recommend this insurer.

I put in for clothing while I waited for my luggage to show up and then I had to go back to the airport to get my luggage when it finally showed up. They couldn’t deliver it for 3-4 more days at which time I would be on a boat. They didn’t reimburse me for those costs and they did not reimburse me for all the close costs either.

As it turned out, this trip was cancelled again due to the Mexican government not allowing dive ships into the area. I contacted customer service, and after providing documentation, they are allowing me to use this policy for a future trip. (I have to book the trip by the end of the year.)
I thought it was very nice of them to allow that, since the trip had been cancelled and the dates moved once already. I would use this company in the future to insure my trips!

We don't have any major medical issues but decided to purchase insurance just in case. We didn't need to use the insurance on the trip but it was a relief knowing it was there if we needed it. Will use again in the future since the price was good.

The coverage was what I was looking for on my trip. I had peace of mind and could focus on enjoying my trip knowing that I had the financial backing of my insurance plan in case an unwanted event should occur. I recommended this plan to a friend that was going on a similar cruise as I was and they were happy with the coverage as well.

So-called emergency service was useless in obtaining needed medication.

Not sure of the value of the policy since we did not have to use it.
