It was a relief to know we would be covered in the event we would have to cancel due to circumstances out of our control

InsureMyTrip was very helpful in assisting me w/choosing the best plan for my circumstances. I especially appreciated the fact that an actual human always promptly answered the phone. =) My husband got a new job so we had to cancel our trip, and luckily we had purchased the "cancel for any reason" plan. Global Alert was extremely helpful and quick to follow up. The paperwork was very straight forward and easy to complete. It took about a month for me to actually receive the different checks, but I was expecting it to take awhile to process. Great experience; will purchase again!

It was impossible to print the info. Representative said that the printed material
would be mailed to me. Very nice, but it did
not arrive before my departure. I do have it now and will file it for future reference.

We were re-routed on our way home due to port closure in Tampa due to the impending hurricane. Everyone on the ship was crazed, however, I knew I had insurance and had peace of mind if things didn't work out. Worth the price I paid!

I did not have to rely on my plan, but it was a close call when my husband became temporarily unable to walk (but resolved prior to the trip). A story from our local newspaper reported that a travel insurer denied a claim because the insured did not buy coverage for the entire amount expended on his trip. This raises an issue, because there is pressure to buy the insurance within a certain time period after making the first payment for the trip. At that point, not all the expenses are known. I estimated our total trip cost for the purpose of buying insurance, but this might not have been sufficient had we needed to make a claim. We did not know the total amount until close to the time of the trip, as we visited a number of places over a month, and were still making hotel reservations just prior to departure. It's an issue I will clarify before I purchase another policy.

I spent a lot of time reviewing available travel insurance companies and plan before choosing global alert. Global alert had the plan with the best fit for me at competitive pricing. One recommendation I would make is to provide clearer information on what to do if you are in a foreign country and need to contact an agent - the underwriting isn't organized very well in the plan. It would also be helpful to describe in detail what responsibilities the traveler has if on a cruise - I found out later that the cruise medical staff actually has the right to make decisions about your care in an emergency, so I may not have been able to follow the procedures in the plan anyway. I would also have liked to have some email communication with travel health tips. Overall, I thankfully did not have to use the plan and was satisfied with the terms and knowing I would have coverage if I needed it.

Fortunately, we did not need to "test" the plan, so we have no experience with whether it would have covered what we would have needed it for. In theory the plan gave us peace of mind for our perceived risks.

I am so glad that I didn't need to file a claim, but having the plan took away a lot of the worries I might have had while being so far away from family members.
