We have bought travel insurance several times through InsureMyTrip. Every time it has been easy to locate the best plan (one that provides a waiver for pre-existing conditions) and to buy it. The personnel contacted by phone have always been helpful. It seems to be getting more expensive, but then we are getting older. Fortunately I have never had to file a claim. In this I seem to resemble almost all the folks who post reviews. Last time I looked through 600-some reviews to find a person who had had claim experience. I think I found two -- and one was negative and the other positive. Would like to see more comments from people who have filed claims. The only other criticism I have of the plans is that they seem to be targeted to people who prepay a fixed cost for a trip -- like for a cruise, and not for people who pay as they go and perhaps only have pre-paid costs for air tickets and hotels (although we did have prepaid private tour costs for this last trip, to Patagonia). The only reason we usually get travel insurance is for the medical provisions, since Medicare doesn't cover problems outside the US, and we would want to be flown home if any problem occurred.

I appreciated the option "cancel for any reason". This was priced as a reasonable option and was the main reason I chose this insurance.

You should allow me as a repeat customer to set up a profile on your site so I can more easily identify the plan (or plans) I have used in the past. This would avoid the need to start every trip from scratch.

Global Alert! Preferred plan is a good value but the coverage is secondary to any other policies you may have. For trip cancellation or interruption it is fine but the claim process I went through last year when I did have a claim was excessive. They even required a copy of my credit card statement as proof that I had purchased the policy even when I had gone through InsureMyTrip to purchase it! Medical coverage for the USA and Canada would have easily been covered by my own medical insurance policy as primary but not in other countries. Therefore, I would recommend purchasing a primary travel insurance policy to cover even clinic or outpatient visits in Europe, Africa, Asia or the like. Most foreign clinics and hospitals will require payment in cash for services so at least a quick cash advance should be provided in a travel insurance policy. Will not likely use Global Alert! Preferred again due to the limitation in primary coverage for foreign travel.

We've used InsureMyTrip numerous times and will again for trips that are expensive and include visits to developing countries.

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

We had to cancel an expensive pre-paid tour shortly before departure due to a medical reason. I was pleased with how smoothly the claim process went. I appreciated being able to track the progress of our claim online.
It took a little over three weeks from the day I sent in the documentation for the claim to the day I got the refund check.
I am very thankful that we had purchased travel insurance and that there weren't a lot of hassles involved in getting our refund.
