Hard to review when we didn't need to file a claim. The only glitch was a considerable delay in leaving Washington on May 18. A malfunctioning bathroom on our 5:20 pm United flight to Rome, followed by a thunderstorm and then a crew timeout, meant that we did not leave until 4:00 am the next morning instead. A long night in the airport--and we lost a day of our vacation in Italy. But United sent an apology and a certificate for $120 toward a future flight, so making a claim seemed unnecessary.

Would love to see a Rider options available to cover Rental cars. It was hard for me to find reasonable priced coverage for my rental cars. The rental car companies offered plans, but were very expensive.

I purchased the plan to cover my entire trip. I had 6 days on my own and a tour for 6 days. I tried to cancel the tour ( it was a hiking trip and I had unexpected knee surgery) and was told only the entire trip could be cancelled. I did not wish to, nor did I need to, cancel the entire vacation. Instead I wasted my money on a tour I could not and did not enjoy or utilize. Terms should be made much clearer before purchase.

I had no claims so I am totally unable to rate how good or bad the coverage is/was or my satisfaction with the coverage. The test is how well they respond to a claim.

I thought your group provided great service. The broker was able to review the policy options and different coverages with me. I am in the insurance industry and thought the service was excellent.

During the trip, I required a visit to an ER in Italy - simply showing the email from the plan covered all of the costs of the visit - it could not have been easier.

    There is no cost for health care in Italy. I'm curious what your plan paid for??

I did not need the coverage after all, but was so glad to have it. It seemed to have exactly what I needed.
