Since I didn’t have the necessity to file a claim, it’s hard to rate the effectiveness of the policy. But it did provide peace of mind.

I am happy to say that I did not need to USE the insurance so I cannot comment on how it actually works but just having it gives a great peace of mind.

I had a foot injury. My doctor told me I would be ok to travel but I was a little apprehensive. I called to discuss my options and the agent reassured me that the company would stand behind me. I wasn't sure I would be able to go and the agent said I had time, to give my injury some time and see how I'd feel - there was no pressure just true compassion. I did go, and had a wonderful time...but it was nice to know someone had my back.

Although I always purchase travel insurance, fortunately we never have had to use it. We choose wisely during the purchase stage so I can only comment on insuremytrip. It is an excellent user friendly website with good policies and good prices.

I was glad I did not need it but would not have traveled without. Never know what could happen and knowing if something did I was covered! Will use you again if needed.

It was good to have peace of mind. Our cruise started with a delay to remove an I'll passenger from the ship by ambulance. Later, in Belfast, our ship was delayed again when a passenger died. These things do happen on vacations. I feel deeply for those passengers and their families and hope that they had insurance.
