I resent that the costs go up so dramatically with age, although having insurance does give peace of mind.

    Thank you for your feedback on the policy.

    Policy premium is calculated based on three main factors: trip cost, length of travel, and ages of the travelers. You actually chose a very competitive policy since the premium works out to be only 5% of your total trip cost. It is not unusual for premiums to run as high as 8-10% of the total trip cost for some plans.

Plan seemed adequate but since we didn't need to use it we can't comment on how it actually would have performed.

Two days before my scheduled departure for Italy I injured my knee and was unable to travel. I filed a claim and three weeks later there was a check in my mail box for the entire amount.

Fortunately we did not have to file any claims. We did feel it was a good value, and would use InsureMyTrip again.

Our trip to Norway on Royal Caribbean International was fantastic. Buying our insurance from Travelex left us with a comforting feeling of knowing that if something did happen we were covered......

Thankfully, I did not have to use the plan, but it was nice to know it was available. It would be nice if I could get a rebate to use on my next trip.

I always look to Travelex first and buy it as it is primary. However, a lot of the time, it is the more expensive so I end up with a cheaper secondary policy if it has the same coverage. Never had to put a claim in but from friends that have, I've heard it was settled quickly and satisfactorily.
Owen W. would recommend this plan to a friend or relative.
