I have purchased travel insurance every year for the past several years. I felt the Travelex policy was too expensive for the level of coverage it provided. The only reason I think it was more costly than previous policies was because of my age, 70. While I understand the risk of health/accident issues may increase with age & therefore cost more to remedy, it seems significantly more costly than is necessary. Not every 70 year old is a big risk.

Good thing is I did not have to use this, so I don't know how Travelex service actually is. I did feel more at ease traveling abroad with travel insurance. I thought the price was fair.

Of course, insurance is a waste of money until you need it, then it's critical. We didn't have a claim nor did we expect to. But we were happy to have the protection and you make the purchase process pretty easy.

Purchase of plan was easy enough and seemed to cover what I needed for the cost. Didn’t need to file a claim.

Although we did not make a claim this trip having good travel insurance is real peace of mind.

Though we didn't need to use the plan on this trip, I had a peace of mind having the medical coverage while on a ship. At our age "over 65", medical issues were our greatest risk. The price was very reasonable. I will buy it again if we cruise again.

My trip included a stop in Barcelona and a flight back to the US from Barcelona. Riots broken two days before my flight there, I contacted Travelex and was told that any diversion from Barcelona are at my cost and the policy doesn’t cover Civil Unrest. I had to guarantee my safe return to the US on 10/19 due to work commitments. I found out that all of Catalonia organized a general strike and a march on Barcelona for that day and the day before. I had no choice and had to purchase a ticket going back home from Paris. that ticket cost an additional $515, a cost that I expected is covered by the policy. There is no way, ill ever forget that. How often civil unrest happen, that it wouldn’t be covered. What’s the point of paying for a policy that is useless. Rest assured that I will not shut up about it to my friends. Employer, family.

We appreciate your feedback. Here is the reply from Travelex:
"Thank you for taking the time to post about your experience on Insure My Trip.
The Travel Select policy purchased is a Named Peril Policy, meaning any reason for Cancellation or Interruption is listed in the policy details, and if it is not listed, then there is no coverage. The policy details which were sent to you, via email, on October 4, 2019, at 9:38 am, when the policy was purchase, also lists all the exclusions.
The exclusions listed on the Travel Select plan are standard in the Travel Insurance Industry and do reference very specific scenarios.
We empathize with your unfortunate situation, and we are happy that you arrived home safely. However, it is important to remember that insurance is highly regulated, and all claims are determined based on the documentation submitted in relation to the policy that was purchased.
Kind Regards,
Amber"Oct 25,2019
"Thank you for taking the time to post your concerns.
The cost for Travel Select plan is based on 3 factors; age, the insured trip cost, and optional upgrades, if purchased. For example, two people of the same age, but different insured trip cost amounts, would have a different plan cost.
I hope this clarifies your concerns and we hope you think of Travelex the next time you travel!
Kind Regards,
Amber"
