Travelex Travel Basic
I have always purchased travel insurance, however this was the first time I actually had to use it. Travelex provided me the best plan for an affordable price, and covered my claim fully. I would recommend this company without reservation!

Although we did not use any of the features of the insurance, we were assured coverage should there be for an emergency.

travel insurance is boring unless something breaks. fortunately everything went well. Travelex had lower price than comparable plans so coverage was worth it

Was a total waste of money. Was in Asia for a month and the cost to visit a state of the art hospital in Thailand was under $25.00 including the prescription for a UTI, one of my friends had to go so I know. My travel plan cost me $116.00 for 30 days. Best to find out what medical is like in the countries your visiting before springing for travel insurance.

    Thank you for taking the time to post about your concerns on Insure My Trip. The Travelex Basic policy that you purchased has multiple benefits in addition to the medical coverage, such as Trip Interruption, Trip Delay, Baggage, and more. Which you were also eligible for while you were on your trip. While we are happy to hear that everything was taken care of for your trip to the hospital and that your expenses were minimal, there are many times where insured’s experience a covered event that is above and beyond what they can reasonably afford while traveling. Thank you again and we hope you think of Travelex the next time you travel.

    Kind Regards,
    Amber

I normally do not insure my travel because I can afford the cost of a loss on most trips. However, I wanted to insure my 3-week Indochina trip because I have a 93-year old father in shaky health. It was good to have the assurance that if something happened (it did not!), I'd not lose all the travel investment. Because I did not need to file a claim and can't really compare these costs to other trips I insured, it's hard to rate satisfaction. I can say that I talked with James only 2 times (after first and second main expenditures) and that was a very easy set-up and he provided good advice.
