We were going to Paris and London and due to the Westminster Bridge attack and the elevation of the terror level to the highest its been in years I was concerned. My trip was only days away.I called about whether I could change my plans and go somewhere else other then England. I had a non refundable hotel booked there. My plan included "cancel for any reason" but I didn't want to cancel my trip, just change it so I could travel somewhere that didn't just experience 2 terror attacks in 2 months. When I called the women I spoke to basically said there was nothing I could do except cancel everything and forfeit 25% of what the trip cost.
One of the reasons I took out this policy was because of the random terror attacks going on and I wanted to be covered in case something happened. But in my case it was worthless.

Excellent plan that provided all I wanted in Travel coverage. Lost luggage, last flights, medical and if needed, evacuation coverage. Happily, I did not need any of the services offered. The peace of mind for knowing I had coverage if needed was the greatest benefit.
As for Insure My Trip. The best. One place to review all plans from different companies. This was my second purchase through InsureMyTrip.com and I am very satisfied with them.
Highly recommend both Global Alert and InsureMyTrip. com.

Did not have cause to use the plan but found the cost reasonable as opposed to plan we normally utilized. Like the follow up and care.

When booking a non-refundable 20-day trip to China through Sinorama Holidays (which included airfare, hotels, meals, tours and in-country transportation), we were urged to purchase our own travel insurance. We are in our seventies, and have traveled to places like India and Russia, but never purchased travel insurance before. We are SO GLAD we did. We purchased an all-inclusive Global Alert policy online through InsureMyTrip / TripMate. It covered us from the day we booked (in October) through the dates of the trip (late March into April). We paid only $180 each to cover the trip cost of $2499 each. The peace of mind was great in itself. But when, two days before departure, my husband developed stomach cramps and a high fever and was told to go to the emergency room, we were SO GLAD we had that insurance. Long story short, my husband was admitted, put on IV antibiotics (he had diverticulitis, something he'd never had before, with a large abscess, which if it had burst while traveling could have proved fatal). Since then he has had 18 inches of his lower intestine surgically removed. (We never saw this coming--we are physically active and walk a mile or two each day.) We were sorry to miss our China trip. Our bags were packed and were so excited to be going. But how much worse it would have been if we had lost our $5000 too! Global Alert refunded us within a month (only recommendation: better communication during claim period.) Now we have the funds to book another trip to China if and when my husband is able to travel there. THANK YOU!!

The best insurance is insurance that you don't have to use. It gave us protection in case of something unexpected happening.

Hard to review when we didn't need to file a claim. The only glitch was a considerable delay in leaving Washington on May 18. A malfunctioning bathroom on our 5:20 pm United flight to Rome, followed by a thunderstorm and then a crew timeout, meant that we did not leave until 4:00 am the next morning instead. A long night in the airport--and we lost a day of our vacation in Italy. But United sent an apology and a certificate for $120 toward a future flight, so making a claim seemed unnecessary.

This is a perfect plan for medical coverage when traveling internationally. We had trip interruption and cancellation insurance with our COSTCO Citibank Visa card, but it did not cover medical insurance for our 3 week trip to Italy. The Preferred Plus Plan was affordable, and the coverage gave us a peace of mind. There is no doubt that I will use Insure My Trip in future travels.
