Haven’t use my insurance but felt well protected.
Always use “Insure my trip” platform for all my travel.

Luckily I did not have to file a claim, although the trip did not go as planned.
However, the tour operator, Quark Expeditions, agreed to refund a pro-rated amount for 3 days of the expedition cost and and pay additional reimbursements for three days at $100 per person per day to cover meals expenses for the extra days we had to spend in Calgary waiting for embarkation.
Here is the letter they provided for anyone wanting to file a claim.

Re: Canada’s Remote Arctic aboard Ultramarine – August 19- August 30, 2023 – Trip Interruption
Dear Travel Insurance Provider,
This letter is to inform you of the Trip Interruption to the above voyage due to wildfire activity in Yellowknife which resulted in the cancellation of their charter flight from Calgary to Resolute. Guests remained at the joining hotel Calgary until their return home.
On August 20, 2023 passengers were scheduled to fly on Summit Air charter flights departing Calgary at 9:00AM & 10:00AM and arriving in Resolute Bay at 3:33PM and 5:18PM where they intended to embark Ultramarine. However, on August 18 we were advised by Summit Air flights had been cancelled as their aircraft and crew had been redirected to assist in the wildfire efforts.
With Summit Airlines unable to operate charter flights Resolute was no longer a viable embarkation point, which resulted the embarkation point of Ultramarine changing to Iqaluit. Guests remained in Calgary until August 22. Flights were scheduled with Canada Jet Lines to operate on August 22 departing Calgary at 11:45 AM and arriving in Iqaluit at 6:10PM. Upon arrival in Iqaluit guest embarked upon Ultramarine and continued their expedition.
As per our terms and conditions, no compensation has been provided to travelers for flights outside our program or other expenses incurred due to the interruption.
Should you have any questions regarding this voyage interruption please contact Quark Expeditions via [email protected] with “Canada’s Remote Arctic August 19 departure Trip Interruption”, in the subject line.
Very Sincerely,
The Quark Expeditions Client Experience Team

The claim process was lengthy and redundant. Some of the same paperwork was requested several times . Ultimately I was reimbursed for 100% of my loss , but it took months during a time that I was critically ill and didn’t have the strength to deal with the MASSIVE amount of paperwork MULTIPLE times

Outstanding coverage at a fair price. Even though we did not need to use this insurance, we appreciated this company's excellent communication before and after the trip. Having an app on our phone in the event of an unxepected situation offered an extra layer of security.

FIrst time I had to use my travel insurance I had two canceled flights and had to stay overnight. I used this insurance to cover part of my costs. Air Canada refused to cover my entire hotel cost after having to stay overnight. It was easy to submit a claim. Not a long wait and I received an email for additional documentation (just my original boarding passes). Wasn't a long wait after that, I received a check for the amount I requested.

Had to cancel a trip to Canada at the last minute because of illness. My travel companion and I both had separate policies to cover our trip and we filed our claims together. It took about 5 - 6 weeks for our claims to be processed but we were advised in the interim that there would be a delay due to a high number of claims. All of our lost money was refunded in full by check - plus with interest. We were careful to follow instructions and provide all the requested information and nothing was questioned. We were 100% satisfied and would buy this plan again.

I submitted a claim for a visit to the medical unit by phone and was told I would get an email with instructions and was given a claim number. I waited about 2 weeks and never received an email. I tried calling back customer service 4 to 5 times over the next week waiting on hold for hours. Finally I reached an agent after hours on wait and gave her the claim number. She said no such number existed in their system. She was very polite and said she would take the information again and file a new claim. She waited on the phone while I checked to see if the email she sent me came through and gave me her direct number if I had a problem. I submitted all of the necessary paperwork the following day. I received a check 4 months later the day I was leaving for another cruise that I had insured through a different company.

We had no claim, but I gave it five stars because everything else was perfect. I particularly liked the peace of mind of having a medical insurance ID card and an insurance number to call. That could save a lot of grief at an emergency room. I am happy to post a favorable review, but you should give much higher weight to reviews with a claim. I read them, and I liked what I saw.
