Travel insurance is a strange product in that you have to have it but hope you don't have to use it. We are glad that our trip took place without needing to call on it. As far as the buying experience goes, that was all very smooth.

I did not have to worry about losing the money I paid for the trip if I became ill and could not go.

A person on this tour had to be taken to emergency. He did not have insurance, therefore he had to pay a large sum to be treated. I fell on a cobblestone street, but was the only thing injured was my pride, but it could have been me.

On our return three people did not find their baggage. If this had happened to me and it could not be located, I would have been compensated.

The price was right, and customer service was excellent. I liked the automated e-mails that confirmed coverage and offered the link to file a claim. The trip was fine, and we had no claim. As you read other reviews, make sure claims are being paid! Those reviews are more important than this one. When I picked, I liked what I saw from people who had claims.

Fortunately I didn't need to use the insurance, so I have no idea about settlement issues.

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.
