Comprehensive plans offer the most benefits, including Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption. These plans provide the best protection for the investment you have made in your trip.
If you're going to travel with multiple destinations, you'd better consider travel insurance. We didn't need it but came close. You could get denied access to certain countries if you have a cough or something they consider contagious.

Unfortunately, my wife experienced a potentially urgent medical issue during our trip, causing us to leave our tour group activities for a full day while seeking medical treatment. Berkshire Hathaway (the underwriter for the plan) processed our claim for out-of-pocket expenses (taxis', busfare, and additional meal costs) plus the pro-rata value of a full day of the tour (for both of us) in a "no questions asked" and very prompt manner. (Because we were in the UK's National Health System, no medical expenses were incurred for doctors visits or medications). I would definitely purchase the policy again.

Having purchased the insurance a year before we traveled, how pleased I was to receive an e-mail reminder of the plan the week of our departure, just in case we needed it. How convenient!

I wasn't thinking about medical coverage at all when I purchased this plan, but I broke my arm while on vacation in Ireland. As soon as I returned home, I filed a claim. I expected a lengthy process and requests for more paperwork. Instead, I received a check for all of my expenses within about two and a half weeks.

I was diagnosed with a cancer that required immediate treatment, so was not able to take the insured trip to Europe as planned. I provided Travelex with the appropriate paperwork for non-refundable losses associated with the trip, and Travelex sent me a check within a few weeks covering my losses. They paid the full amount I requested, no muss, no fuss. I have used Travelex before and continue to recommend them for trip insurance.
