Glad that I did not have to use insurance on my recent trip to Greenland and Iceland but it was very good to know I have the coverage if it was need.

I did not file a claim, so my review is about the phone contacts during the prevacation stage. My calls were always answered promptly - I did not have to go through a long menu and wait time. My calls were always answered by a polite and friendly representative.
I needed to call a number of times because we bought one plan for my son, who does not live with us, and a different plan for my husband and me. Each time I called, either to get information or to firm up a start and end date, I got a recommendation for a different, and sometimes better, plan at a lower cost. While this was welcome and appreciated, I wondered why it was not offerred initially. If I had not needed to make multiple calls, I would have had less coverage for more money. This also happened the last time that we used your service when we went to Spain in 2015.
On my next trip, I would certainly use your service to buy insurance. However, I would call back to confirm that the plan I am considering is the best that you can offer.

I thought the plan was ok but hated to pay such a fee because of my age*^) I am in excellent shape for my years and have very few medical issues..

Thank you for providing feedback on this policy.
All of our providers base policy premiums off of three main factors. These include the total cost of your non-refundable trip, the ages of all travelers listed on the policy and the length of your trip. As a comparison site, we are here to assist you in finding the least expensive options for the coverage you are looking for.
Please feel free to contact us when looking for a policy. We can be reached at 1-800-487-4722 and our licensed representatives are available 7 days a week.Sep 15,2017

We didn't have to file a claim so all is well. My son and I were in Canada fly fishing at a fly-in lodge 350 mikes south of the arctic circle so coverage for medical evacuation was important to me. Our Global Alert policy seemed to provide more coverage for that particular item at less cost than comparable plans.

As with most insurance, the devil is in the details and I found the whole thing (what was covered, what wasn't) confusing. I wish everything could be summarized clearly in one page. I never understood exactly what I was getting for my purchase.

Thank you for providing feedback on this policy.
It is very true that each insurance policy will have a lengthy certificate, which explains the limitations and exclusions of the plan. When purchasing a policy, it is very important to understand exactly what you are covered for. We recommend contacting us directly at 1-800-487-4722 so we can assist you in setting up a policy. Our licensed representatives can review each policy with you, and help you to understand exactly what you are purchasing.Sep 20,2017

Unfortunately, I had to cancel my trip to Russia and canceled the insurance I had purchased. Since it was within the 14 day review period, I was told the full premium would be refunded, and I am now waiting for the refund to show on my credit card statement.
Working with Insure My Trip was helpful and pleasant. The agent was patient and took the time to answer all of my questions and to work with me to determine the appropriate plan for my situation. The plan seemed to provide the coverage I wanted and the cost was reasonable. I would use Insure MyTrip again if insurance were needed.
If a Customer Care representative cares to contact me, I would be willing to talk with that person.

We had purchased this plan quite a while back. Right before the trip I was emailed a confirmation of the insurance so it was at my fingertip if necessary. Great customer service!!
