I did have the piece of mind of knowing that if any problem came up my insurance would likely cover it. In the past when I have had medical or travel issues on trips, InsureMyTrip has always provided coverage and at a reasonable price.

I considered several trip insurance providers for our trips to Panama and Europe. Travelex offered the best value of all the travel insurance providers, and InsureMyTrip made it easy to do my comparison shopping. A key decision point for me was that Travelex offered primary coverage, rather than secondary coverage.

For the same coverage, it was less expensive than the insurance offered by the cruise line.

When traveling I have used Travelex for insurance needs many times. The coverage is good, price ok, and they make it easy to file a claim if needed. We had a camera stolen on a trip and were satisfied with the settlement. Mostly, it is just nice to know that coverage is there if needed. Thank you for great service!

I have purchased this plan for about 6 different trips. I filed claims the first two times for two different reasons. The claim process was easy, and the payment came quickly. This plan is a primary insurance--which is much better than a secondary plan where you have to go through your own insurance first. I plan to purchase this plan every time I travel out of the country. Highly recommended.

If you have coverage for part of your trip through your credit card then you should only take coverage for things that aren't covered. In our case trip interruption or cancellation, and baggage loss or delay were covered so we needed only medical coverage.

I purchased the basic travel plan with the full intention of never needing to use it....and wanting to be prudent. Frankly, one never knows exactly what is covered until one has to use it. It is difficult for me to rate the plan without at least some scenarios where the coverage is detailed. And, of course, there is a problem with this, too, as people have to read the scenarios. Insurance plans are written by lawyers and those of us not trained in the law have great difficulty knowing exactly what the plan will do.
Jo Ann L. would recommend this plan to a friend or relative.
