Understandably, it takes a while to get forms submitted and I knew upfront that I wouldn't get my money back right away. They were helpful and understanding and it didn't take too long for the pay out.

My airline cancelled the flights so we were unable to go last minute. My claim was paid promptly and with no hassle at all. I've already recommended this plan to others!

I think given the current Covid pandemic the quarantine section of the policy was not clear from a coverage standpoint. We were vaccinated well before our trip and took every precaution to remain safe but that section was not clear. Other than that it was a very good policy.

Excellent service and plan. I purchased this policy for a two week long trip. Unfortunately, during the trip, a non-traveling family member passed away and I had to cut the trip short. When I filed a claim, I provided supporting documentation (including death certificate) and was reimbursed for the full amount of the trip that I missed due to returning home early for the funeral services. Very satisfied.

This plan is GARBAGE, did not cover my cruise that was cancelled by the cruise line, did not cover lost air, hotels, NOTHING. Did not even offer me a credit of the premium for another future trip. Don't waste your money on this plan.

We booked a trip Feb. 12, 2020 and purchased insurance Feb. 14, 2020. Due to the corona virus we canceled the trip. We called Travelex to make a claim.. The Travelex agent told us the corona virus was NOT a covered reason for trip cancellation, so they would not make any payment.

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.Apr 29,2020

Thank you for your feedback. We hope you had a safe and fun vacation. Upon reviewing the certificate, you will find that quarantine is a named peril for trip cancellation, trip interruption, and travel delay coverages if ordered by a treating physician. Although we can not predetermine any claims, our licensed representatives are available to assist with policy related questions seven days a week. If you have any further questions, or would like to speak with a representative, please feel free to call us at 800-487-4722 and we would be happy to help.
