This plan is GARBAGE, did not cover my cruise that was cancelled by the cruise line, did not cover lost air, hotels, NOTHING. Did not even offer me a credit of the premium for another future trip. Don't waste your money on this plan.

    Thank you for your feedback. The insurance provider has issued the following response:

    "Thank you for taking the time to post about your experience on InsureMyTrip.com. We empathize with your unfortunate situation.

    It is important to remember that insurance is highly regulated and all claims are adjudicated based on the documentation submitted in accordance with the policy details.

    We do not have any records of you contacting our Customer Solutions Department, but we would be happy to offer you a One-Time Date Transfer. This will allow you to reuse the policy anytime in the next 24 months. Additionally, we recommend talking to your Traveler Suppliers about transferring any monies paid to a new trip.

    Please contact us at [email protected] in order to discuss your One-Time Date Transfer.

    Kind Regards,

    Travelex Insurance Services"

The plan appeared to be very good. Naturally, the only true evaluation of an insurance plan is if one has to file a claim, which I did not require.

I always feel confident about my coverage when I use Travelex insurance. In the past 15 years I have filed two small claims and both were covered and paid quickly. Thank you for this travel support!

This plan did not require processing the claim through our personal health insurance; thus, we submitted our request for reimbursement of medical expenses incurred on our trip directly to Travelex. Our claim was approved and we eventually received our refund.

During the month that transpired from when I mailed the claim to receipt of a check, I called twice to track status of the claim. I called a week after mailing the paperwork to confirm that it had been received. The claims representative told me that processing would take 3 weeks. I called again at the 3 week mark and was told that a decision would be made by the end of the week. I told the claims representative that I was shopping for travel insurance for two international trips that we plan to make next year and that I was hesitant to use Travelex again due to the extended processing time for claims. Her response was "you can do what you want, but claims processing takes 3 weeks." I was quite taken aback at this response, I have worked in Customer Service and I would never put off a customer as she did.

I might use Travelex again if the price is right and the coverage is appropriate for our needs. I will have to prepare myself, however, for less that professional service from the claims department representatives if need arises to contact them.
John B. would recommend this plan to a friend or relative.

    Thank you for your feedback on the policy. One of the great benefits of purchasing a Travelex product is that they offer primary coverage. Primary coverage means that the travel insurance provider will reimburse without requiring the involvement of primary collectible insurance. We are sorry to learn that you were dissatisfied with the customer service you received from the claims department and length of time it took to process the claim. Generally, travel insurance claims can take up to 4 weeks to complete. However, for customers who feel like the claims process is taking an usually long time, InsureMyTrip can assign a customer advocate to attempt to expedite the claim. Our representatives are available 7 days a week by calling 800-487-4722.
