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!

Best part was not needing the coverage, of course. But second best was the fact that the company that issued the policy reached out to us while we were on our New Zealand trip to make sure we were OK after the earthquake that struck the country half-way through our visit there.

I have bought many policies and never have had a claim. I fear when I do have a claim they will weasel out of paying.

Although I did not need to file a claim on this trip it was nice to know that we were covered if anything happened.

Thankfully I still have not needed to find out just how good this plan is. I buy because the coverage is broader and much cheaper than the cruise line insurance. Knowing that I have coverage allows me enjoy my vacation with a little less worry.

We had a medical emergency in Munich, Germany and filed a claim for the physician treatment and medication needed. We were careful to fill out the forms carefully and submitted all the documentation from the physicians office and pharmacy. The claim was paid in the full amount about four weeks after filing. I am very pleased with Travelex Basic Plan and will highly recommend it to my travel companions in the future.

Although I didn't end up using the travel insurance, the Travelex people were very friendly and helpful. I bought the insurance on a Sunday night and my husband hurt his leg Monday afternoon, the very next day. I called Travelex to make sure that it was covered, in case we had to cancel the trip. The person, whom I talked to, assured me that it was and e-mailed me the forms that I would need in case we had to cancel the trip, so that I would have them when my husband went to his doctor's appointment.

As it turned out, we were able to go on the trip, but I was very pleased with the customer service from Travelex. They were very friendly with me on the telephone.

I will continue to buy Travelex insurance for my other trips.
