This is the first time I have had to use my insurance, so I was a little worried if I had the right documents and if the claim would be accepted. My flight was cancelled and rescheduled. I submitted a hotel receipt for the night and it was approved in less than 2 weeks. I am very pleased with the process. Travelex/Berkshire Hathaway had a form to fill out, along with my receipts, and all could be submitted by email. I contacted customer service to begin the claim and spoke with a knowledgeable rep.

Insured every trip we have taken out of country, and a couple in the U.S. travels. Never had to use it, but great peace of mind. Guess I'll have a better review if we ever need to use it. But stuff happens, fortunately not to use. I'll keep using various plans through Insure My Trip company.

I was very happy with Travelex travel basic plan. Once I submitted my documents, I received a check for the total amount allowed. My phone was lost on an international flight and I immediately called Travelex and my agent, Candace, worked on my case. My claim was approved and I was sent me a check within 3 weeks. Great service! I will use them again.

It was very easy to select travel insurance coverage for our trip. Reasonable pricing for necessary coverage.

Didn't have to file a claim, but seemed like a decent policy-
so better safe than sorry & I purchased it

The only problem with this insurance is that there is no compensation for a 3+ day delay of one of my bags when I returned home. Luckily, it was on my return home, but I think having not received my bag for this long period of time, with no compensation (even minimal) is wrong. They do not cover travel delay for arrival at the return place which makes sense, but still - having a bag missing that long is a total inconvenience and you would think that travel insurance would at least have some way to address it.

I opted to get this plan because my traveling companion's mother is older and we just can't predict the future. If something had happened, I had the peace of mind to know (or think I know) that our trip was insured and we wouldn't lose the money paid for the trip. Since I didn't actually have to use the insurance, I can't say whether the coverage was good ...it appears to be and my parents have had to use it in the past and they were happy with the coverage. So, that's good enough for me ...if you knew my mom and their travel companions :) !
