Global Alert! Preferred
Hard to review when we didn't need to file a claim. The only glitch was a considerable delay in leaving Washington on May 18. A malfunctioning bathroom on our 5:20 pm United flight to Rome, followed by a thunderstorm and then a crew timeout, meant that we did not leave until 4:00 am the next morning instead. A long night in the airport--and we lost a day of our vacation in Italy. But United sent an apology and a certificate for $120 toward a future flight, so making a claim seemed unnecessary.

Global Alert! Preferred Plus
This is a perfect plan for medical coverage when traveling internationally. We had trip interruption and cancellation insurance with our COSTCO Citibank Visa card, but it did not cover medical insurance for our 3 week trip to Italy. The Preferred Plus Plan was affordable, and the coverage gave us a peace of mind. There is no doubt that I will use Insure My Trip in future travels.

Would love to see a Rider options available to cover Rental cars. It was hard for me to find reasonable priced coverage for my rental cars. The rental car companies offered plans, but were very expensive.

Haven't needed to use the policy - but wouldn't consider traveling without this coverage.

Didn't use the plan, so I cannot attest to how the insurer follows through. Had peace of mind while traveling though!

This was the first time we purchased trip insurance. We are now in our 70's and we were leaving the country and it was an expensive trip. There was actually a death on our cruise. The insurance gave us peace of mind. I carried a copy of the page summary of the plan in my purse everywhere we went on tours of different countries. I will do it again when we travel afar.

Gave us peace of mind even though we did not use it. I recommend for anyone traveling abroad to be insured.

As a claims adjuster, I was shocked at the poor customer service provided. Personnel didn't understand the policy or coverage. Could never speak to the claims representative. Complete documentation submitted on a relatively simple claim and yet it took over two months to be paid, and only when insuremytrip interceded.

I fortunately did not need to use it, but felt very secure having it.

I purchased the plan to cover my entire trip. I had 6 days on my own and a tour for 6 days. I tried to cancel the tour ( it was a hiking trip and I had unexpected knee surgery) and was told only the entire trip could be cancelled. I did not wish to, nor did I need to, cancel the entire vacation. Instead I wasted my money on a tour I could not and did not enjoy or utilize. Terms should be made much clearer before purchase.
