It was a peace of mind that we had coverage if something went wrong in a far away country!

You only know how good a plan and the company behind are when you have a claim. We had no claim, thankfully, so we cannot evaluate the plan or company.

Although I didn't make a claim I felt comfortable having the insurance in the case if I needed it.

This trip included an expensive 2 week bus trip. With all of the driving, hotel changing, walking, and the fact the trip cost was non-refundable, I wouldn't have gone without insurance. This policy was extremely comprehensive and gave me peace of mind. I'm extremely glad that we had it. Another traveler had an accident resulting in a non-displaced fracture of the fibula and she hobbled on a make-shift walking bandage for 2 weeks because she didn't have travel insurance for either proper care, return home, or reimbursement.

The AXA plan provided higher levels of coverage at about half the cost of the plan offered by the Cruise line. Since we did not need to use the plan we do not know how difficult it would have been to actually collect. Communication with AXA before the trip was excellent and the plan disclosures were easy to read and understand.

First, I choose a plan on the most catastrophic risk: having to be medically transported home. I called one of the companies that provides air ambulance service to ask what a typical trans-Atlantic transport would cost. Secondarily, I looked at some of the more likely losses such as reimbursement for trip delay, baggage loss and baggage delay.

The overall insurance shopping process rates as a 5 star. The comparison of various providers made my choice fast and easy. Also, you get a review period to change your mind about the policy you've purchased.

Let me predicate this review by saying that I did not do my homework as I should have, nor did I study the plan thoroughly during the 10-day review period. I am not faulting this plan, as it is what it is, but I just wanted to let other customers know they need to look at the reimbursement figures carefully. In our case, we had a super-close airline connection between our destination city of Nagoya, Japan and Tokyo, where we needed to connect for our flight back to San Diego. There is only one flight available per day. As fate had it, an unexpected delay of our flight out of Nagoya almost made us miss the connecting flight in Tokyo, except for the fact that thankfully our Tokyo flight connection was also delayed. We saw in our policy that we were covered for a mere $150 had we missed our connecting flight. Obviously, we would have had to spend three times as much for an airport hotel and food for an overnight and wait until the next evening. It is questionable whether the airlines would have compensated us in part. Anyway, just a caveat: recreate every scenario and read your policy thoroughly.

1) Please call us prior to purchasing a policy to ask questions about benefit limits and covered events. We are available 7 days a week by calling 800-487-4722.
2) Most comprehensive policies have 10-15 day review period. The review period allows customers to read and understand what the policy covers, or cancel the policy and receive a refund of premium. Service fees ranging between $5-$8 may apply.
3) Typically, travel delay benefits have a per day limit between $100-$300. However, we do offer plans that provide coverage up to the maximum limit listed under travel delay.
4) We offer several comprehensive plans that can cover missed connections for a flight to flight connection. Missed connection requires at least a 3 consecutive hour delay or cancellation due to a defined hazard, and can cover additional transportation expenses, reasonable accommodation and meal expenses, and reimburse the pre-paid and non-refundable unused portion of the trip. The benefit limit for missed connection varies from plan to plan, but some plans provide coverage up to $1,000 or more.
