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.
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.

We have received the following reply from your provider, Travelex:
"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!
Thank god did not have to use the policy but it gave peace of mind, especially as there were train strikes in France that occurred just a day before my train trip to Germany. My trains were all on time, but many people were cancelled or delayed...

We had no issues on the trip so I can’t give a higher rating answer as to how satisfied I was with the plan because no claims were filed. I do recommend trip insurance for the unexpected. One of the couples with us while we were checking into our hotel in Barcelona had a large luggage suitcase stolen from the lobby at the check in desk because there were many people checking in and they took their eyes off their luggage for a few precious moments. They had purchased trip insurance.

I have signed up for John Hancock Insurance multiple times when traveling overseas. I've never had to file a claim, but I enjoy knowing that people who have had to contact them got speedy, polite service. I like having peace of mind.

I normally do not insure my travel because I can afford the cost of a loss on most trips. However, I wanted to insure my 3-week Indochina trip because I have a 93-year old father in shaky health. It was good to have the assurance that if something happened (it did not!), I'd not lose all the travel investment. Because I did not need to file a claim and can't really compare these costs to other trips I insured, it's hard to rate satisfaction. I can say that I talked with James only 2 times (after first and second main expenditures) and that was a very easy set-up and he provided good advice.
