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.

You kept & $200 out of the $500 I paid after canceling. Unforeseen circumstances came where I had to cancel. I paid for protection for the trip, not insurance if I didn’t go. I am very disappointed. You say you used my insurance to retrieve a deposit I paid to the Catholic Travel Centre. I never went on the trip and you should have reimbursed me fully for not using the insurance in Jerusalem. I could have understood a small amount for processing, but not $200!!!! What a racket.:(

The Plan covered everything I wanted and for a decent price. I used customer service when I booked the insurance - the Rep was very helpful.

I purchased this plan in order to meet insurance requirements by a country I was visiting. It was quick and easy and very inexpensive. I did not need to use it but I assume it would have provided the coverage if I had. I will keep this company in mind for future travel.

I requested evidence that we had COVID coverage. The agent I talked with assured me we did and immediately sent me a cover letter stating that. The agent was very helpful.

Thank you for providing your feedback. There are 3 main factors that determine premium costs: the cost of the trip, the length of the trip, and the travelers ages.Â
