Comprehensive plans offer the most benefits, including Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption. These plans provide the best protection for the investment you have made in your trip.
A friend purchased the plan for the same trip for less than half my price. What affects the cost? Perhaps more detail when purchasing would have let me know.

I put in for clothing while I waited for my luggage to show up and then I had to go back to the airport to get my luggage when it finally showed up. They couldn’t deliver it for 3-4 more days at which time I would be on a boat. They didn’t reimburse me for those costs and they did not reimburse me for all the close costs either.

I had no reason cancelation clause and your agent kept asking me for reasons and proof for my trip being canceled. And to only refund 50% of my trip cost left me in the red. I used another insurance company for my trip to Europe this summer and had my train passage interrupted in France. I had to make airline reservations to complete my trip, and the other company refunded my airfare in full only asking for proof of train cancelation and the cost of airfare. While your company took over a month to send me a refund, this company resolved the issue in two days.

Documentation confirming cancellation penalties is required, however CFAR is truly cancel for ANY reason and additional information regarding the reason for cancellation is not usually necessary. This information is required if/when the reason for cancellation falls under a covered Trip Cancellation peril listed within the Policy of Insurance. If the reason is not covered under the base plan, and is being reviewed under CFAR instead - additional proof of reason for cancellation should not be requested. As such, I apologize that you were asked for additional documentation for a CFAR claim. I’ve sent your claim to Claims Management so that coaching can be provided. I’m glad to hear your claim was paid, and again apologize for the inconveniences along the way. I hope you will give us another chance to exceed your expectations, and consider Travel Guard insurance for your next trip.
I got sick just a few days after the "review period" was over, and tried to cancel the policy, since I would NOT be taking the trip. This happened the first week of Sep. The canceled trip was for Nov 1. I could not get a penny back. Emailed several times. $472 gone! If you might get sick, you must do it within ten days of purchasing the plan. No sympathy. Ridiculous!

We bought the Atlas Journey Economy plan never imagining the worst-- a serious accident in small city Sicily resulting in a 5 week hospital stay, transfer by ground and air ambulance, surgery (in a public hospital in Sicily, not recommended!) The company that Atlas uses to facilitate care, OnCall International, did some things well and some things VERY poorly. Their coordination of care depends heavily on the care provider (doctor) being willing to communicate with their medical team, resulting in delays of (what I perceived as) timely and appropriate transfers for medical care, and return home. That being said, they were always available to me by phone, quickly authorized care where covered and appropriate. Their staff on the whole was supportive and helpful.
I recognize our case was quite complicated by the horrible attitude and lack of cooperation by the care providers in Sicily (noted to me by the families of other patients and local people as well, and validated by the doctors in Rome who, despite repeated attempts by OnCall International NEVER provided a detailed care summary to the doctors in Rome who assumed treatment, or to me). I believe that OnCall did try their best, but their "local affiliates" in both Sicily and Rome were less effective than I would have liked in getting things done in a timely manner to get my husband out of Sicily and to Rome.
Otherwise I think the company did an excellent job of getting care for my husband against the backdrop of a really difficult situation.
I am currently in the process of submitting the non-medical (trip interruption) portion of the claim so can't yet comment on the brokers used by the company for that. I will say that the WorldTrips agent was very helpful in pointing me in the right direction regarding contact numbers, forms needed and the like.
I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again-- although given what we have cost them they might not be happy to insure us again!
