Even though I didn't have a claim on this insurance, it was comfortable to know that if anything went wrong, I had the coverage for it.

I would and have recommended your coverage to a good friend of mine, as a matter of fact, he used your insurance this year when he and his wife were our traveling companions.

For the small amount of money we spent on our additional insurance coverage, the peace of mind was priceless! I will definitely use insure my trip again!

    The refund from Travelex in this case was for the policy premium.

I have used the service for so many trips I think I should get a "frequent insurer" award!! I am quite satisfied except for the cost, which unfortunately is a factor of my age and nothing the insurer can correct.

Frankly, I was surprised at the ease with which I made my claim. Initially, they sent me an email with forms to fill out, which they then mailed to me (go figure) but it looked like another trip I had taken, so I didn't send them back. Still received my check for illness on a foreign cruise! I'm very happy.

Thankfully, I didn't need to file a claim. I'm sure I would have been satisfied. I was happy with the application process, and the continued interest from Travelex.

i purchased this plan for peace of mind. The financial outlay for my European trip was large and I wanted monetary protection in case of unforeseen events. Fortunately, my trip went smoothly.

Good coverage, reasonable price, very easy to review plans and make online choices and purchase.
Since most African safari trips include emergency evacuation insurance coverage--I would like to have had the ability to omit the evacuation portion of the coverage, while getting all the other great basics on the program selected. In order to get the important coverage I wanted, this caused me to pay for duplicate evacuation coverage.
