Travel Insurance Reviews Travelex Travel Basic
Travel Basic is a budget friendly plan offering comprehensive trip cost protection as well as coverage for other unforeseen events that may arise during your trip. Coverages include Trip Cancellation and Interruption, Baggage Loss or Delay, Travel Delays, and Emergency Medical Evacuation. Coverage on this plan is primary, meaning you don't have to submit claims through other insurance first.

A claim was submitted because there was a trip interruption during the cruise in that a port of call was not fulfilled due to weather, a valid condition. Travelex did not honor the claim basically saying that the cruise itself was not interrupted. However, we would not have incurred this additional expense for this port if it were not originally listed in the itinerary. I thought I had appropriate protection coverage only to find out this was not the case. BUYER BEWARE!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!

We thought we may have a storm delay and may be another night in Rome...that is when I thought of my travel insurance purchase...to reimburse me for an unplanned night at hotel...it did not happen...'just glad I knew I had coverage in case.

We have used insure my trip several times and thankfully have never had to file a claim. We will be using this site to choose travel insurance again for a trip scheduled in July of this year.
The peace of mind is well worth the investment.

Even though I did not have any reason to file a claim, this insurance plan gave me great "peace of mind".

Two weeks before my scheduled departure, I fell and broke my elbow, so the trip had to be cancelled. I called Travelex and they emailed me the forms for my doctor to fill out. He did so, I returned them to Travelex, and within a month I received a check in full for my claim amount. It was a pretty open-and-shut case, and it went without a hitch. I am satisfied and grateful for the prompt and smooth handling of my claim.

I haven't had to use travel insurance yet, but for the coverage this provided for the dollar amount, I figured this would be a solid investment. I'm happy I didn't have to use it though!

We have always looked for travel ex when using overseas and or travel insurance. Their competitive rates and being able to buy it directly helps us in choosing Travelex. Although we have never filed a claim in all the trips travelex has insured, I am sure we will not have any problems If we ever have to do so

While it is my hope that I will never need to file a claim on a calamity insurance policy, it is prudent to purchase it. We felt secure that we had it, just in case.
