Peace of mind, but worth it. At my age health can cause trouble and makes this worth the cost.

I didn't wind up using the plan but at the last minute my husbands back went out and I came very close to staying home. There was a lot of comfort in the knowledge if I had to cancel my trip I would not have lost all the money I paid for it! Well worth the cost of insurance.

We didn't get sick or have a family member in the hospital, so we did not need to use the insurance; but I'm glad we had it just in case.

Very glad we did not need or use it but so comforting to know it was available if necessary. Will always buy it for high dollar trips.

Never had to use it but we had peace of mind having insurance. Both of us are in our sixty. A number of years ago we did have to use it and glad we had it. It paid well.
