Fortunately did not have a need to file a claim with our purchased policy, but the piece of mind knowing it was there in the event it was needed was well worth it.

For the price of the essential plan offered by the cruise line ( that didn’t cover much ), I felt protected by a much stronger plan offered here.

The plan offered us peace of mind for any unknown and unexpected issues during our travels. Provided a more relaxing and really enjoyable time knowing that we had a backup support from a reputable company for any unforseable problems. We now know that we can rely and count again with your company for future travel plans at very affordable rate plans. Thanks.

Did not need to use the coverage, but it was comforting to know that it was there if we needed it.

It is hard to tell how valuable this plan was because fortunately, I did not have to use it.
Still, it provided the best bang for the buck.

Plan provided the cover I wanted at a reasonable price. I didn’t have to make a claim so cannot comment on that aspect of the policy but very happy with both price and cover. Will definitely seriously consider using this company next time.
