This was my first claim with the many trips I've insured. I was very pleased with the response time and all aspects of my claim. Thank you.

I did have the piece of mind of knowing that if any problem came up my insurance would likely cover it. In the past when I have had medical or travel issues on trips, InsureMyTrip has always provided coverage and at a reasonable price.

We have had an unexpected cancellation in the past and your insurance was efficient with reimbursement. No hassle what so ever. We will come back and use this service provider again.

We did not take the original trip. The travel supplier had overbooked the cruise. They have put us on the same trip next year. We transferred the insurance to that trip. Very pleased with InsureMyTrip, as usual.

This is the first time I relied on my trip insurance for PD coverage for a rental vehicle. It was so much more cost efficient! I didn't have a problem so I can't comment on the coverage but I did speak to the customer services reps who reassured my that I would have coverage. I have already bought coverage for my next trip!

As I have gotten older, and had some minor health problems on two prior trips, I feel much more confident having travel insurance. I have compared the cost and the coverage of your insurance with other plans, and believe you are reasonable and reliable .

This is a review of the Travelex Travel Basic plan. I should say I'm very skeptical of insurance companies. I also believe that the only real evaluation of an ins company can be made if you try to actually file a claim. Any other review is not based on real information.

As marketed, it seemed to have the emergency health care coverage I needed for a ski trip to Europe (my girl friend did not have any type of health insurance, so I thought it prudent to get something).

I talked to a representative on the phone to try to confirm what was covered and what was not. The agent was very patient and answered my questions fairly completely. I called back to talk to another representative to confirm what the first had told me. I got different, less satisfying answers. This is what my experience with insurance companies has been, not everyone interprets things the same. I crossed my fingers and purchased it anyway, as it seemed a fair price compared to other comparable insurance available.

I went on the trip, nothing happened, no claim needed.

So I can only say that their sales office will answer the phone, I can't say if they would actually ever pay a claim. So I'm rating them 3 stars.

This plan is the most cost effective plan that completely covers us on our trips out of the USA. This is the third time we have used this plan and will use it in the future. we have not had a claim and that will be the real test on how great their plan is.

We had no occasion to use the plan benefits, but the coverage and price seems excellent.
