Travelex Travel Basic
My airline cancelled the flights so we were unable to go last minute. My claim was paid promptly and with no hassle at all. I've already recommended this plan to others!

I think given the current Covid pandemic the quarantine section of the policy was not clear from a coverage standpoint. We were vaccinated well before our trip and took every precaution to remain safe but that section was not clear. Other than that it was a very good policy.

    Dear Valued Customer,
    Thank you for your feedback. We hope you had a safe and fun vacation. Upon reviewing the certificate, you will find that quarantine is a named peril for trip cancellation, trip interruption, and travel delay coverages if ordered by a treating physician. Although we can not predetermine any claims, our licensed representatives are available to assist with policy related questions seven days a week. If you have any further questions, or would like to speak with a representative, please feel free to call us at 800-487-4722 and we would be happy to help.

Very comprehensive plan. We did not have any claims but it was worth the cost for piece of mind while we travelled.

Excellent service and plan. I purchased this policy for a two week long trip. Unfortunately, during the trip, a non-traveling family member passed away and I had to cut the trip short. When I filed a claim, I provided supporting documentation (including death certificate) and was reimbursed for the full amount of the trip that I missed due to returning home early for the funeral services. Very satisfied.

Due to covid-19 outbreaks, my trip was cancelled by the airline and resort. Travelex denied my trip interruption claim. Other than the fact that it took 3 months for them to get back to me (after multiple inquires) but I was looking for a credit towards a future trip - not necessarily a refund. Nowhere was I given that option that BTW my traveling friend who used another insurance company was offered. I will NOT be using Travelex again!!

    "Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns on InsureMyTrip.

    We are happy that we were able to offer and finalize a Date Transfer, which will enable you to reuse the policy for a future trip.

    Please contact our Customer Solutions Department at [email protected], with the new dates as soon as you have them.

    Thank you again, and we look forward to insuring your future trip.

This plan is GARBAGE, did not cover my cruise that was cancelled by the cruise line, did not cover lost air, hotels, NOTHING. Did not even offer me a credit of the premium for another future trip. Don't waste your money on this plan.

    Thank you for your feedback. The insurance provider has issued the following response:

    "Thank you for taking the time to post about your experience on InsureMyTrip.com. We empathize with your unfortunate situation.

    It is important to remember that insurance is highly regulated and all claims are adjudicated based on the documentation submitted in accordance with the policy details.

    We do not have any records of you contacting our Customer Solutions Department, but we would be happy to offer you a One-Time Date Transfer. This will allow you to reuse the policy anytime in the next 24 months. Additionally, we recommend talking to your Traveler Suppliers about transferring any monies paid to a new trip.

    Please contact us at [email protected] in order to discuss your One-Time Date Transfer.

    Kind Regards,

    Travelex Insurance Services"

My wife broke her arm in India. I called the company from India...they were unhelpful and wanted me to complete forms! That was ridiculous...how do you complete forms from India.

    Thank you for your feedback.

    Please see the response from Travelex:
    "We empathize with the unfortunate situation that occurred to your wife during your trip to India and we hope she has recovered well. We contacted our Claim Administrator, Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance Company, and we are happy to hear that your claim was deemed payable, and that payment was issued in July.



    We would like to take this opportunity to clarify how On Call International, Travelex’s travel assistance company, offers assistance for medical emergencies that present themselves on a covered trip. On Call’s medical case process requires all patients to be evaluated by a treating physician and to have the medical information reviewed by On Call’s Medical Team to help ensure patient’s safety, in order to assist the traveler. On Call’s Medical Team specializes in flight physiology and follows guidelines set forth by the International Air Medical Transport Association and the Aerospace Medical Association to determine a patient’s fit to fly status as patient’s conditions may change at elevation. While the medical case management and fit to fly approval process can seem overwhelming, the process is important to ensure a patient is safe enough to travel home. "

I just filed a claim and have not heard whether my claim will be approved as of yet.
Update:
It took awhile but I believe the delay was partially due to the pandemic. My claim was
processed and I received compensation for extra expenses incurred due to our trip delay.
I am totally satisfied and would recommend this to anyone wanting to purchase travel insurance.
