Global Alert! Preferred Plus
Claim and paperwork submitted October 4th, 2017. Final ck written by Trip Mate, Global Alert's underwriters dated January 12, 2018. Postmark on envelope for that check - February 7, 2018! Insure my trip provided an agent, Gail, who was fabulous in contacting Trip Mate ( aka GLobal Alert ) several times on my behalf, always keeping me informed. However, for their claims administrator to send payment in the incorrect currency after reviewing every bit of travel documentation, including receipts, is an indication of poor training, lack of attention to detail and of course prolonged reimbursement. Bottom line: The company made more than my premium be delaying payment of a legitimate claim. They also seem to be very understaffed.

Thankfully, we didn't have to use our trip insurance, so I can't comment on the actual processing of a complaint. But the agent who helped me pick the plan was very knowledgeable, professional, and prompt in addressing my specific needs.

I did not need to use this insurance in my trip. However, prior to our chasing it, I compared it to other plans and to the plan offered by the tour company I was using. I was satisfied I got good value for my money.

I travel to Europe twice a year. I always purchase insurance. I’ve never needed to use it. The one time I thought I might have a medical issue requiring attention I was able to get immediate contact/feedback/instructions on how to proceed. I’m very satisfied with the excellent customer service I received.

It was satisfying to know that I was secure overseas if I had issues. I did not use the plan and can not comment on ease of use, or reliability as these are unknown.

The most wonderful thing to be said about a travel insurance plan is that you didn't need to use it. I have had travel insurance from Insure My Trip for two years and, thankfully, have never had to use it. However, the selection and purchase of the coverage my husband and I needed was handled very professionally and I felt that we were given every conceivable kind of information we would need if there had been a problem that involved filing a claim.

As we are on Medicare now, there is NO coverage when we travel internationally and we must rely on the travel insurance we select to cover our needs should be become sick or injured while traveling.

I will certainly use Insure My Trip for my next international travel. Their people are great!

I was fortunate that the trains were running on time and there was never the threat of missing connections. It was nice to know that if such aproblem had come up, I would have been covered.
