Did not need to use the coverage, but it was comforting to know that it was there if we needed it.

It is hard to tell how valuable this plan was because fortunately, I did not have to use it.
Still, it provided the best bang for the buck.

Plan provided the cover I wanted at a reasonable price. I didn’t have to make a claim so cannot comment on that aspect of the policy but very happy with both price and cover. Will definitely seriously consider using this company next time.
