Travelex Travel Basic
The plan seemed to cover everything we needed but we didn’t claim anything so it’s hard to say if we’d be reimbursed.

I read the plan through and was satisfied that the coverage would fit with the trip I planned. I was very happy with the flexibility that was offered as I added flights and destinations to my original trip. It was never a problem and the expanded coverage was always easy to obtain. I also was happy I did not have to test this the plan as I never needed to use it.

I was glad I did not have to use the plan. But felt it was very costly compared to other Travelex plans I have purchased.

    Thank you for submitting a review to assist your fellow travelers.

    Comprehensive plan premiums are calculated based on your age, trip cost and length of trip. Since your previous Travelex Basic plan was based on a total trip cost of 2226 USD, you would have seen a considerable increase in premium for this trip since it has a total trip cost of 6184 USD.

After my husbands back injury we still had hopes of making this trip, until the final outcome was surgery. We asked for copies of all medical records as we went through various procedures as we always do. We sent these in with our claim and it was processed within weeks. We were very satisfied with the whole experience and would definitely insure our next trip with them.
