Since I never needed to use this plan, we really can't comment on how effective or useful it was!

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!

Almost had to cancel, I had open heart surgery, but I made it, was able to go, enjoyed the trip very much. I was glad I had purchased it.

    Thank you for your review. To receive higher medical coverage you can review Travelex's other policy, Travel Select. This will not only provide higher medical coverage but the limits on baggage loss, baggage delay, trip delay and medical evacuation will be increased as well. In the future, please call us at 800-487-4722 and we can assist you with finding the best plan for your concerns.
