It was reassuring to know that we were covered if an emergency caused us to cancel out trip at the last minute, and we would not lose the cost of our trip.

We spoke to a few first time cruisers and suggested they get cruise insurance for their future cruises and told them about Insure My Trips. Cause ya just never know when you will need it.

Thankfully, we did not need to file a claim as we had an amazing, trouble free vacation. Nevertheless, I've had 3 ankle surgeries since July and traveling without trip insurance would have been foolish, especially since our itinerary included both land and cruise destinations. Just knowing we had appropriate coverage should anything go wrong was a relief.

Our first flight (of 2) was canceled due to mechanical problems. It was a problem securing another flight to connect to FL from up north over President's week. After about a 1/2 hour of trying the agent finally worked some magic and booked us on a partner airline's flight to Atlanta, had us stay there in an airport hotel overnight, then continue on to FL very early the following morning. We were able to reach FL by 9:25AM with plenty of time to board our cruise ship. But, it was touch and go for a while at the airport. We were glad to have purchased the insurance - just in case... it gave us peace of mind.

I always have insurance for my cruises but by far yours provided the same coverage for less than half. Thanks again

I had to cancel because I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Once the insurance company was notified the paper work went without a hitch. The team at the insurance company was giving updates to help me along. Very well pleased.

I must admit I was very skeptical purchasing this insurance due to the low cost. Unfortunately over Christmas just 4 weeks or so before our trip I ended up having a medical issue which landed me in the hospital for a week, and grounded me from flying. Reluctantly I filed a claim figuring I would never see any $$. Well I stand highly corrected! I received in the mail today a check for the entire amount I lost. TruTravel, you have got my business from this point on; you made a very low part of my life much brighter and easier! Thank You!!
