We were fortunate enough to have no health issues on our trip,but our friend had a problem and had to see the ship's Doctor. We were all relieved that we had insurance just in case.

This plan offered 10x the health insurance and medical evacuation coverage than my travel agency at 1/3 less cost. I always purchase this plan through Global Alert. (I've not had to use it and hope to never have to.)

Since we didn't file a claim, it's difficult to honestly review the coverage, but it looked great on paper, and the price was so reasonable.

It is hard to rate something that you did not have to use. Based upon the listed coverage, it was a great value for the fee paid. Customer representative at InsureMyTrip was very helpful in working with me to select this policy.

On a previous trip I had to file a claim which was handled quickly with no problem. No claim this trip but peace of mind knowing I had the insurance.

This was a horror from beginning to end. Almost as they were taking me off the stretcher for pneumonia in Bali, they called and asked if I was cancelling my trip. I said "NO"! They harassed me and my husband almost daily by email and phone and continued not to understand the meaning of the word no until I finally contacted a supervisor.. I had called before I went to the hospital and submitted a claim as soon as I got home, around March 18th. They asked for additional information which was not needed; sent a card on May 3 saying they had received my info which was sent in March; and finally paid on May 10th--two months after a legitimate claim. Also, they didn't pay for items like the taxi home from the hospital (an hour away). Any questions or responses involved an unacceptable hold time. A terrible experience all around! Would never insure with them again.

Glad I didn't have to use it. But isn't that is what insurance is for? Peace of mind that if something does happen you wil have help. On my river cruise one passenger did have a stroke. Had to under go surgery in a foreign country. This made me aware that if it was my wife or me, we would be covered. I can also say that InsureMyTrip.com was a great site to shop for travel insurance. Helped me make my decision based on my need. They were great with follow up and have a great band to load on your smartphone just in case you need help or need to talk with someone. Highly recommend this company. Easy to work with.

I purchase an emergency cover insurance plan for myself and my two toddlers, 2 and 4 years old for our 1 month vacation to Brazil.( from Global Alert) Unfortunatelly I had to use the insurance with them both . They got a very bad Virus during our vacation and the yougest even end up a few hours at a local hospital for tests and hydration. As soon as I came back to the US I filed the claim which was pretty easy. It took 1 month for them to send a response and the money for the claim. They used a very high dolar conversion and paid me less, $100 pretty much, than I spent in Brazil ( I had to pay the hospital and doctors bills in Brazil and they refund you here later, next time I will choose a plan that pays the expenses for me. ) but overall I am happy that I got this insurance, without it I would have spent much more. You never buy an insurance expecting to use it, but it is very necessary especially when travelling for long periods with kids.

Did not need to use it so don't know about how well the service worked but it was good to know the insurance was there.

Your last trip, which experienced the claim, was insured through a different provider that was also available with InsureMyTrip. However, you would have been as happy with the service and care provided by Global Alert should you have experienced another claim.
