We bought the plan due to the risk of contracting COVID and having to shorten or not participate in the Netherlands Bike Barge trip. The Barge company. had a strict covid testing protocol. My wife contracted nonsystematic covid (determined by rapid test) near the end of the 13 night trip and we had to leave the barge one day and two nights early. Missing the final day and night of activities we had to find Hotel accommodations and rent a car for an additional two days at considerable expense. We would have qualified for filing a claim except for the requirement to obtain a PCR test. We attempted to schedule the test in Amsterdam and the Barge management confirmed the extreme difficulties in finding and scheduling the test. As a result the insurance had no real value as in our circumstance.

Unfortunately, several medical bills were incurred during my trip - some partially covered by my personal medical insurance, some not covered at all. My background doing large scale project management at various Fortune 500 companies, so I'm familiar with filling out and tracking forms.
Here are the reasons why I do would not recommend C&F Travel Insured:
1) Their PDF claims forms are not possible to fill out entirely on a computer unless you have Adobe Acrobat Pro or some other PDF editor. This is because some of the fields on their PDF forms are not editable.
2) Their website only allows you to enter 1 medical claim per traveler. There's no directions on what to do if you have multiple medical claims. If you call, you find out you have to email additional claims to them.
3) On top of that, their website for filing claims is not very or easy to use. Think early 2000's, with lots of download and uploads. You'll be entering the same information over and over again between the website and PDF.
4) I submitted additional claims via email in May. In June, I called and the rep couldn't find my additional claim. I asked her to look again, and then she found them. She told me to call back in 6+ weeks. I called back in August, and they couldn't find my additional claim, and that they would call me back. Could they email me given all the junk calls I get per day? No. This is their workflow in 2023.
Sometimes, I wonder if their website and PDF forms are intentionally full of friction to discourage you from filing a claim, or because they just don't invest in the claims workflows, or if it is something else -- I don't know.
Some closing thoughts:
1) If you have just one medical claim, filling out their forms isn't the worst and you'll get paid pretty quickly.
2) I haven't tried filing claims for other travel insurance companies, so I'm not sure if they are better or worse.
Here's to hoping my additional claims get paid!

Luckily didn’t need to use this, however there was a point in the trip where we had a situation that could have potentially caused cancellations. I was glad to have this in my “back pocket “. Will use again in future.

Agent was very helpful. Had no need to file claim, so no idea as to how good our insurance was. That is not bad.

Outstanding coverage at a fair price. Even though we did not need to use this insurance, we appreciated this company's excellent communication before and after the trip. Having an app on our phone in the event of an unxepected situation offered an extra layer of security.
