My luggage was delayed by 24 hours upon my return. No coverage for this unless I had bought items to replace things. Not happy about this.

    We can appreciate your comments. However, Baggage Delay coverage is available when your luggage is delayed on your outward journey. Reimbursement is available up to the specified limit if you purchase necessary personal effects while you wait for your bags to arrive. It is not a benefit that applies when you are returning home and or if you do not provide receipts for the articles you purchased.

Got the information I needed for the trip. Didn't need to file a claim as nothing went wrong on the cruise.

I did not have to file a claim so I have no knowledge of whether the coverage is "good," but the coverage certainly seems comprehensive for the price, especially compared to other policies.

I compared more than a dozen plans to find the one that best suited my needs... at the price I liked. I have yet to need the services of travel insurance; but, I am confident that when that day comes I will be insured thru InsureMyTrip.com

We're not sure how effective this travel insurance is, given that we did not need it. However, we did learn through this process that it is better to purchase such insurance upon booking travel, thus such insurance policies are more exhaustive in their coverage, such as coverage for pre-existing conditions, etc.

We luckily didn't need to file a claim but we absolutely felt so much more confident knowing that coverage was there if we needed it. We compared many plans and read a lot of reviews and this plan had the same coverage as many plans that cost quite a bit more. The reviews were mostly positive from those that did have to file a claim. I suggest purchasing travel insurance within 14 days of booking your trip because you have more options available for the same price.

I have already recommended TruTravel to others and purchased it again for us because we had to file a claim for a cancelled trip in 2009 and our claim was paid to our complete satisfaction with no problems or hassles
whatsoever. We will continue to buy this plan whenever we travel.
