We need a cost effective plan that would help out with major expenses, i.e., transportation back to the states. This plan has worked well for us. Provides a feeling of confidence at significantly lower cost than plans provided by the Cruise company or travel agent. Though we have had no claims so cannot provide a review on payments.

We lost our home in the California wildfires and the many loops they put us through to try and create paperwork we did not still have as it was burnt in the fire was so very distressing to us. There was little to none empathy from the company. They made us feel that we were not being truthful with them. Will never use Travelex again and will be passing the poor service that we received to all our friends and family.

Had to get medical treatment on the ship for coughing,congestion, etc. - filed a claim and was processed within 3 weeks. They pay as primary so no hassle with having to file with our insurance first, etc. Will definitely use Travelex again - highly recommend!

We didn't need the coverage, but were glad to know that it was there. We've had trips that we did need the insurance, and were glad to have it, so we always get it when we book a trip.

Didn't need it, thank goodness, but happy to have it. I like Travelex best as it is primary. However, the premium is usually enough higher than secondary policies that I go with them and keep my fingers crossed. When I have had a claim with a secondary policy, it has been handled well, only have to deal with the inconvenience of chasing other policy payments first.

When I purchased the trip protection plan, I spoke with Carol at Insuremytrip. I explained my needs and Carol was very knowledgeable with the many options. Thanks to Carol, I chose the appropriate plan.

We chose this plan because we have elderly parents and were concerned that we may be called back home should they become ill. Fortunately we did not need to make a claim, but we enjoyed our trip more knowing that if something came up we were covered, and would have help making arrangements to come home.
