It was unclear as to if the Insurance plan would cover a cancellation say up to 72 hours prior to departure with a full refund due back. Thank you, Jim Kraynik

    Thank you for your feedback. According to the certificate, it shows that your Travelex Travel Basic plan would provide Trip Cancellation coverage due to a covered peril and that the insurance provider would need to be notified within 72 hours of a covered loss in order to file a claim.

    Please contact 800-487-4722 where a licensed representative would be happy to assist you if you have additional questions.

I didn't actually NEED this policy because my cruise (Holland America Westerdam - 2/15-2/29) was cancelled because of China's coronavirus. Money wasted.

This was the first time we have used insuremytrip to purchase travel insurance. We always buy travel insurance because one never knows what can happen either before or during a trip. I was especially impressed when the carrier, Travelex, sent us an email inquiring if we needed help because of an earthquake at one of our destinations. We did not need any assistance but it was good knowing that they had our backs.

Didn't need the plan on our travels so don't know how well it would have worked. Price seemed reasonable for coverage promised. Would use again.

We did not have to file a claim (thank goodness), but this insurance had everything we needed... cancel for any reason and medical coverage in a foreign country. The price very reasonable - much less than the ins offered through the cruise line. The comparison option on the website is user friendly and the chat feature is great. I had all my questions answered before I selected coverage. I also liked that I have until the day before I made my final payment, to purchase the insurance (for cruises only) - gave me plenty of time to research coverage that fit our needs. Thank you!
