You are betting against yourself buying insurance—I am an old woman and buy insurance as a precaution. I have never used any insurance plan and think my history ought to be taken into account in the premium paid. Trip insurance at my age is very expensive. When I was younger & traveling more, I bought an annual policy.

Website was easy to use. Had a few questions so called Customer Service, all my questions were answered & the Rep was very friendly & knowledgeable. Thought price was reasonable. Did not need to file any claims. Would definitely use again.

A claim was submitted because there was a trip interruption during the cruise in that a port of call was not fulfilled due to weather, a valid condition. Travelex did not honor the claim basically saying that the cruise itself was not interrupted. However, we would not have incurred this additional expense for this port if it were not originally listed in the itinerary. I thought I had appropriate protection coverage only to find out this was not the case. BUYER BEWARE!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!

Thank you for providing your feedback on this policy.
With the Travelex Travel Basic policy, weather-related claims would only be covered if the following had occurred:
Trip Cancellation / Trip Interruption:
3. Common Carrier delays resulting from inclement weather, or mechanical breakdown or organized labor strikes that affect public transportation.
4. arrangements cancelled by an airline, cruise line, motor coach company or tour operator, resulting from inclement weather, mechanical breakdown or organized labor strikes that affect public transportation.
Missed Cruise Connection Benefit:
We will reimburse you for Covered Expenses, up to the amount shown in the schedule, should you miss your cruise departure as a result of the cancellation or delay of 3 or more hours of all regularly scheduled airline flights due to inclement weather.
Although this particular policy would not cover the situation you have experienced, we do have other plans that could, depending on your trip details.

We have always looked for travel ex when using overseas and or travel insurance. Their competitive rates and being able to buy it directly helps us in choosing Travelex. Although we have never filed a claim in all the trips travelex has insured, I am sure we will not have any problems If we ever have to do so

Two days before my scheduled departure for Italy I injured my knee and was unable to travel. I filed a claim and three weeks later there was a check in my mail box for the entire amount.

I always look to Travelex first and buy it as it is primary. However, a lot of the time, it is the more expensive so I end up with a cheaper secondary policy if it has the same coverage. Never had to put a claim in but from friends that have, I've heard it was settled quickly and satisfactorily.

Thank you for taking the time to post on InsureMyTrip.com.
"Travel Insurance offers you some peace of mind before and during travel for many reasons. Travel insurance is highly regulated by each state Department of Insurance and the price is based on several factors: your trip cost, age, trip length, and if you want to include trip cancellation benefits.
Trip cancellation helps to protect your investment while other benefits, such as trip interruption, emergency medical and evacuation expenses, trip delay, and baggage benefits help protect you should the need arise while traveling.
While we are happy to hear that you had a safe trip and did not need to engage the insurance coverages, we also know that if an unforeseen situation had occurred; you did have valuable coverage to help protect you and your trip investment.
Travelex makes every effort to review all concerns and we hope you will consider the purchase of Travelex’s travel insurance for your next trip."
