Fortunately, I didn't encounter any obstacles before or during my trip and did not have to file a claim. Therefore,I can't really comment on the plan's responsiveness to problems, but I'm very happy that I didn't need to find out!

I purchased this policy, with the inclement weather of the NE area being a concern, when it would be time to fly out for our trip. Turns out I was blindsided when my spouse became ill and had to be hospitalized right before our trip. We had to cancel our trip. I made a claim, filled out the claim forms and submitted the required paperwork. After I sent the claim package in, I was sent a check for our total losses in less than three weeks. We will use this travel insurance company again, with the hopes of not having to use it, but the security of having it if we need it.

Travelex requires too much documentation. Customers might normally not keep boarding passes to prove that they actually followed through on the travel itinerary. They need to provide an alternative method for offering proof.
Travelex processed my claim quickly and for the full amount claimed.

My husband and I have been traveling since 2004 and wouldn't leave on a cruise without cruise insurance. I have used insure my trip for many years and feel it has many plans to choose from and all reasonable.

We had to cancel our trip just days before departure. I called Travelex, they sent claims forms immediately via email. I submitted forms and documentation by postal mail, and received full claim payment into my account within 9 days! I was amazed, because some of our friends on the same tour had cancelled months earlier, with other insurance companies, and still had no response from their insurance carriers! Travelex thru InsureMyTrip will always be my first choice in insurance!

I didn't need to use this insurance on my recent trip that went very smoothly, but from past travel experience that DID need help from a policy by Travelex, I was happy to sign up for it. Travelex has convinced me it is worth having.

I did not need to use the insurance so I really can’t comment on how the claim process works.

Our trip was delayed due to weather, we missed our connection, stayed overnight at a hotel and missed a day of our prepaid travel package. We filed a claim with all required receipts and got full reimbursement. Really glad that we had the insurance!

The day before I was to fly out to Fort Lauderdale to board a cruise ship, we had a big snow storm. I called to find out what I had to do if my flight was grounded and could not make it to my cruise ship on time. The service representative was very helpful and kind. It gave me a great deal of peace of mind to know they were there and ready to help. As it turns out, I did get out on time and had a wonderful cruise.

Most providers including Travelex allow insureds to submit claims online. Included on the website, you will find a list of "Frequently Asked Questions" along with the claim forms and a list of the required documents for each type of claim. Many of our customers review and print out this information prior to departing on their trip.
One fact that cannot be stressed enough is to save your receipts and proof of expenses so that you can be accurately reimbursed, whether it be costs due to a delay of travel for hotel or meal, or medical records for emergency treatment received. This is especially important for medical care received overseas, as it can be incredibly difficult to get this paperwork once you have returned home. For filing a claim, nothing is more important than having accurate documentation for your loss.
Our licensed insurance experts would also be happy to explain any part of the insurance policy. We are available to assist you by phone at 800-487-4722, or by chat, Monday - Friday, 7am-12am EST and Saturday - Sunday, 9am-9pm EST.
