Good plan for a reasonable price. Process was fairly simple. However, I think most of these insurance plans are overpriced.

There are almost too many options. I was never entirely sure what was and wasn't covered. Maybe if as you selected options you could ask specific questions such as "if this happens this plan will provide the following coverages." Having said that, it was a great site and I will use it again.

I'm an insurance broker so the purchase of trip insurance was not an extraneous purchase for me - it was second nature. I am used to comparing policies and premiums - also second nature - and I found that Insuremytrip and CSA provided ease of comparison and pricing, and ease of purchase and of confirmation. Your policy can be delivered by e-mail. Best to purchase at least couple of weeks prior to your departure date.
I returned from Egypt about a month before the revolts happened. I did not need to use the insurance since I apparently planned my trip under a lucky star - but people I know were there when the US was telling travelers to get the heck out of Egypt. If anyone doubts the wisdom of purchasing trip insurance, look at the provisions for "Travel Delay". The affordable plan from CSA that I purchased would have provided protection up to an amount of $1,000 - which I'm sure the folks who eventually were flown to Istanbul (on their own dime) and then left to make further arrangements back to the U.S. would certainly have welcomed.
Enjoy your trip! (And buy the insurance; because, as we all know - stuff happens!)

Frankly, I was surprised at the ease with which I made my claim. Initially, they sent me an email with forms to fill out, which they then mailed to me (go figure) but it looked like another trip I had taken, so I didn't send them back. Still received my check for illness on a foreign cruise! I'm very happy.

I always go to this site when traveling. It's an easy way to compare pricing.

This is the 2nd time I've had this exact policy. Once purchased from American Express and this time from InsureMyTrip. Sorry to hear this won't be offered in Florida anymore and hope there will be a comp policy available next time.

AMEX credit cards have a good rep for protecting insureds in disputes with vendors. But the AMEX insurance language implies more protection for AMEX than for the insured. Perhaps all travel insurance does this. In any case, I was fortunately not to have any reason for filing a claim.

Classic
since the disturbances in Egypt Jan25th - Feb 11th were "domestic disturbances" these events did not allow the travel insurance policy i bought to come into effect and so i feel that the purchase of travel insurance was a total waste of my money - will not do that again from this company

Essential
Our trip was to Egypt in late December 2010 and early January 2011. Our trip was fantastic, with no problems, and we did not need to use any of the benefits from the insurance. But when, 10 days after we left the country, Egypt erupted in revolution, I was really, really glad we had the insurance. We could have very easily been caught up in the turmoil.
