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.

Travelex Travel Basic
Didn't have to use the insurance but it was nice to know it was there in case I needed. Also it was cheap and I bought it on the day I was leaving which was very handy

Always travel with third party insurance when traveling out of the country. So far I have been totally satisfied with my decision on insurance purchases.

I would recommend Insuremytrip as a great place to compare and purchase plans. I think there is no way to evaluate the coverage until you actually have to file a claim. Then the level of cooperation, responsiveness and ease of process is what matters.... Fortunately I can't answer any of these questions.

I made two claims, one for medical care after a fall and a second for rebooking fees after missing a flight due to train delays. The documentation process took some back and forth due to a complex situation but all of my claims were paid. I was very happy with Travelex.

I called Travelex with questions and I got either "no" or "you'll have to speak with another department". Typical insurance company uselessness.

We were very impressed with the speed and courtesy extended to us when we had to make a claim. We had to be emergently evacuated from the Himalayas which interrupted our incredible trek. TravelexClaims covered everything we asked for. After this experience, we will use travel insurance always!!!

I bought this plan because it was one of the few Primary payer plans. I didn't have to use the plan. None of them are what I call reasonably priced but they're all pretty pricey these days.
