It was a very comfortable feeling knowing that we had a reputable insurance plan to cover my wife and me in the event a medical emergency occurred while we were in Germany.

I had to cancel my trip due to surgery on my knee. I did get a voucher that is good for two years to use for another trip. I really appreciate that. Thank you.

I had a claim - I had to return early due to family illness. I started a claim w/ Berkshire Hathaway and rep sounded OK. Then I got their emailed long list of 13 Dr. statements, ID copies, consent forms, hotel receipts, cancellation policy of the airline[s], ticket copies, ticket numbers, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. they needed before they could begin to review my claim.
It would have taken me hours to get all this material together, if I could of at all. I would guess this is a technique they use to minimize payouts. I feel it would be a waste of my time to try to collect everything they wanted.
I thought one of Warren's companies would be better than this!!! Interesting dichotomy - ins. companies want to sell policies, but then they don't want to pay....

Thank you for your feedback on the policy. We are sorry that you were dissatisfied with your claim experience. It is industry standard for an insurance provider to require documentation to substantiate a claim. We understand that this can be a frustrating process, but we do want you and your fellow customers to be aware that InsureMyTrip offers a Customer Advocate Program. Customer Advocates are representatives assigned to assist customers who experience issues after filing a claim. Requesting a Customer Advocate is as simple as calling 800-487-4722 or emailing [email protected], explaining the events which resulted in a claim, and the challenges you are facing.Aug 31,2017

Did not have to file a claim so I cannot speak to the process. The plan seemed to be a good one with adequate coverage at a fair price

Easy enough to buy. No claim so it was worth the peace of mind.
As for stars, I only entered them because I was forced to. No claim, no way to rate.

Only major medical and evacuation coverage is important.
Given the restrictions and limitations of USA insurance policies (or even medicare in recent years) a policy for is major medical and evacuation coverage is needed for most international travel.
Ideally there would be a travel policy that only covers international major medical and international evacuation at a lower rate than a more inclusive policy.
On this trip my wife's luggage was delayed for 3 days. We had a very busy itinerary scheduled so we got by with stuff in our carry on luggage. Besides our scheduled itinerary we were busy making phone calls and Emails to both connecting airlines and the London baggage delivery partner pushing each to find and to deliver our luggage.
Since the Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection ExactCare policy only pays out for items purchased during the delayed luggage interval there was no claim we could file to be reimbursed.
