Fortunately, we did not have to seek covered services during our trip, though both my husband and I did each take a fall! However, it gave me great peace of mind to know that we could go directly to a provider that was in the network in the places we visited, rather than having to go through a claims process. For that reason, I will insure my future trips with HTH Worldwide.

Claim settlement is very disappointing. They didn't consider even additional $50 expenses apart from insured amount which I had to spend in preparation of trip for which I did provide appropriate receipt as well. Usually other insurance companies do consider this so DO NOT buy HTH worldwide trip insurance.

I purchase a multi-trip plan every year because I travel a lot. It provides valuable protection at a reasonable cost.

Beware the small print!
I thought that since I broke my leg and could not travel, I could claim for trip cancellation. Since I rebooked dates eight weeks later, this apparently was a "postponement" not a "cancellation". So if you can't travel for a covered reason, consider abandoning the trip even if the cost is greater. Note that this is not a specific criticism of HTH, as Insure My Trip advised that other insurers apply the same, in my opinion very dubious interpretation, of the term "cancellation".
If you are hiring a car, you may be covered for Collision Damage Waiver under your credit card - but beware their small print, as coverage is generally limited to rentals of up to 31 days. So if you rely on HTH, note that their CDW clause and exclusions was apparently written some time in the last century by someone who knew nothing about cars. Leaving aside the farcical examples such as Bradley and Yugo in the "exotic cars" exclusion, there are some potentially serious problems. All four-wheel drive vehicles are automatically excluded, which would mean most popular SUV's are not covered. Also Fiat and Citroen, who manufacture predominantly cheap cars you may well encounter at some European Hertz and Avis branches, are bizarrely classified as "exotic vehicles" and thus not covered. Naturally in the unlikely event that you did rent a true exotic that commenced production in this century, such as McLaren, Koenigsegg or Tesla, these would apparently be covered.

The plan was reasonably priced and gave me the security of knowing I was covered abroad.
