Purchased this plan for our Caribbean cruise. I was happy with the coverage for the money. Can’t really say much beyond that because thankfully we don’t have any claims to submit.

I am a travel agent and I purchased your insurance for my clients, I know that you don't pay commission however I think its important for my clients to be protected. I am happy that they use my services to book their vacations will me and for that I feel I am compensated with my agent commission. The isn't the first time I have used your company. I hope this review will help.

Unfortunately, I was forced to file a claim for travel delay caused by my airline, resulting in the loss of the first day of vacation in Barbados. The claim was handled promptly and with no hassle for the full amount of my loss. I will be using this again and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Disappointed that my travel delay claim was denied based on what I think is a small technicality in what is deemed a "hazard" - namely, a significant delay at Customs due to government slowdown/budget cuts that caused us to miss our flight. We spent extra funds, and lost valuable time and wages waiting for the next available flight (an extra 2 days). I do realize this was not specifically covered in the "fine print," but it would have been a nice gesture to receive even a partial amount towards the claim. I still think travel insurance is important and will consider TruTravel when booking future trips.
