Can't offer a real review unless the need to file a claim arose. It did not.

Of course we are grateful that we did not need to use the insurance, but we travelled with the knowledge that all reasonable risks were covered just in case and at a fair cost. Our company kept in contact with emails summarizing our coverage right before the trip and providing quick links to important phone numbers for the plan just in case. Very professional.

Your review is not geared to having a claim so I don't want to give other would be customers a thumbs up when I have no idea how the claim would go. I will say this though, I called and spoke to your claims rep who was curt and annoyed when I was just inquiring about the possibility of a claim. If she is an indication of who I would get in the case of having an actual claim then I am concerned. And I don't like it that you ask me to review when I've never had a claim because the choices for my answers are at best insufficient and give the wrong impression that I'm a satisfied customer -- the last one, "Would you recommend..." well, I really don't know but you don't give me that option as a choice, the proof is when you have a claim and how you're treated and if you're taken care of after spending the money.

I can only speak to the representative I talked to when I purchased the plan as we did not have to file a claim. She was thorough, explained everything to me in an understandable way and was most courteous. It was an excellent experience.

It is not easy to review something that you never used. I can say that this insurance was easy to buy and the agents were helpful, and the price was good, but I have no idea if the company would have come through if needed, if the coverage would have been easy to use, or been available had I needed them. The good thing is that I was comforted believing that I had appropriate insurance. Whether or not I had it was not discernible. What I did do was check out the covering company on A.M.Best and it seemed to check out OK. Who knows? But for sure I will get the coverage next time within `14 days of purchase of my trip. the one thing that was worrisome was that "pre-existing conditions" are not covered if you buy your coverage more than 14 days after you first pay for your trip. And I have no idea what is considered a pre existing condition. Fortunately, I never had to make a claim on this insurance.
