The plan gave me peace of mind, thankfully I didn't need to use it.

Once the claim was filed, there was no Global communication except for what I initiated. They were very slow. Had to call 2 times a week to get them moving. It was 1 month before they even started the process. Had to get "Insure My Trip" involved to give them a push.

I didn't need the insurance, but it was good I had it, just in case. A flight was cancelled on my return, but the airline comped a room and food vouchers, so no need for a claim. Had the cancellation been due to weather, the insurance would have been handy.

Claim and paperwork submitted October 4th, 2017. Final ck written by Trip Mate, Global Alert's underwriters dated January 12, 2018. Postmark on envelope for that check - February 7, 2018! Insure my trip provided an agent, Gail, who was fabulous in contacting Trip Mate ( aka GLobal Alert ) several times on my behalf, always keeping me informed. However, for their claims administrator to send payment in the incorrect currency after reviewing every bit of travel documentation, including receipts, is an indication of poor training, lack of attention to detail and of course prolonged reimbursement. Bottom line: The company made more than my premium be delaying payment of a legitimate claim. They also seem to be very understaffed.

Hard to evaluate the plan as we didn't need it. That is a good thing. Better safe than sorry. We believe the plan would have provided the coverage we needed.

Did not need the plan, but you never know when you will need trip insurance! The plan I purchased right after I made trip arrangements would have covered everything we needed if something unexpected had happened. Very happy not to have needed the plan.
