Insurance was required by the tour company we were traveling with. Fortunately we did not have any accidents and did not have to utilize the insurance. However, someone else in the tour group did. It was reassuring to us to know we had the insurance just in case. One big thing to remember though is that this is a reimbursement policy, you have to pay for any services needed up front from your own resources, then get paid back...hopefully.

Since I did not have to file a claim, I am unable to honestly access the ease of use of claim process,but I was satisfied with the provisions that the plan offered for its cost. I would use this plan again, though.

Thankfully, I did not have any issues and did not need to use the insurance. It was nice knowing I had coverage if I needed it, especially so far from home.

We bought insurance because of an aging parent at home, as well as concern about the safety of medical treatment in S. Africa and Zimbabwe. Although we did not use the insurance, we were happy to have the coverage in case of an emergency. Next time we would opt for the medical/airlift option only.

Fortunately we didn't ever need it, but the plan was such a great price and provided such peace of mind that it was well worth the purchase. Thank you!

This was the second time that I have used InsureMyTrip.com but the first time that I used a CSA plan.

Our trip went off without a hitch and no claims were made so I can't really evaluate the service although having a travel protection plan in place provided considerable peace of mind.

The customer service agent whose name I have forgotten was very helpful.

I also found very useful the information on how many people bought each different plan. This allowed me to realistically compare plans. The website was also very easy to navigate.

We were starting our trip 2 days after Hurricane Sandy hit, and we were worried how to handle possible airline delays and consequent problems hooking up with our tour in South Africa. So before we left I spoke with two company representatives, one in benefits the other in claims, and both provided all the info I needed were I to run into difficulties. In fact, all went smoothly and there was no need to to make a claim, but I was grateful for the advice I received before departing.

RSA All Inclusive Plan
I purchased a travel and medical insurance for my trip to South Africa from Sept 6- Sept 30 2012. I had to extend my trip to South Africa for another 2 weeks, so I called up insuremytrip.ca to have my insurance extended but to my dismay insuremytrip.ca was not willing to extend my insurance.

I am travelling on business that is why it is common for me to extend my date of coverage. I hope that insuremytrip is also flexible enough.

Since I have multiple trips in a year, it would be nice to have a username (and password) for the insuremytrip.ca website so I can just log in and my details will already be there. All I have to specify is my travel dates and the country I am going to. This way, I can also track the insurance that I have purchased for the year.

    Some of the providers don't allow for extension of a policy once you are on your trip. We are looking into adding user name and password to our website in the future. Thank you.
