Thankfully, we did not need to file a claim against our policy. So, it's hard to judge the effectiveness of our plan.

Travel cancellation insurance does not cover you if the airline cancels your flight!

Only about a week before our travel, I noticed the dates were incorrectly stated. I was pleased with the responsiveness and speed for which this was corrected.

The representatives were terrific. Twice I called for simple information. I did not have to wait long and, best, they had answers. They never tried to sell me more insurance. They simply gave me information and good feedback.

No coverage for Covid is a real problem. We could have been trapped for 2 weeks with no coverage.

I found the plans to be confusing. I think when the plan covers a home rental in Florida, you should be able to have red tide included, as it not only impacts your activities, but also can affect your respiratory health. I thought the hurricane wordage was confusing as well. I am thankful I did not have to file for any reason. We were driving to Florida, and there was way too much info about plane reservations, delays, etc.

I had a bad experience of not “reading the fine print” and I had a weather hazard event that caused disruption in my trip and my claim was denied because I did not read the fine line of how those events are categorized. I felt it was useless policy and didn’t help me at all when I needed it.
