We would absolutely recommend this plan, it was easy to follow and purchase. We didn't need to file a claim. But - we're going on another cruise in 2013 and will use this travel insurance again.

My son Thomas and wife insured the same trip at about the same time but from a different starting location. while on the trip, we compared notes and found that his insurance was about half the cost of ours and the stated values were the same. Why would that be? We thought we were requesting the same coverage but obviously something different came out.

    There are a few factors that go into rating (premium) of a policy, age of the traveler is one of them. If you'd like to discuss further, please call us (see contact information below) and we would be happy to compare both policies and explain the differences.

It's hard to rate a company objectively until a claim is made. Hopefully that will never happen.
It would be nice if repeat customers would receive a discount based on claim activity as some other major insurance companies offer.

Plan was very through and easy to understand Had no need to file claims but felt very much at ease during trip that all aspects of tour were covered Other fractures paid more for same coverage with other companies I will surely recommend this plan

I am glad that my trip went well and that I didn't have to file a claim but it was good knowing that I would have been covered.

fortunately, I never had to use it so I don't know how you would respond to a claim.

Our flight was delayed 8 hours, however I did not file a claim for expeses incurred for meals because the carrier provided breakfast and lunch and the cost would have been minimal. It was good knowing I had insurance had I needed it.

Did not need the plan. Main reason for purchase was travel to Florida during hurricane season. There were no hurricanes. However, rain almost canceled our return flight, so the insurance would have covered hotel costs for the night. But it did not come to that.

Travelex was extremely slow to respond to a claim even though they turned it down and it could have been done quickly.
