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.
My trip included a stop in Barcelona and a flight back to the US from Barcelona. Riots broken two days before my flight there, I contacted Travelex and was told that any diversion from Barcelona are at my cost and the policy doesn’t cover Civil Unrest. I had to guarantee my safe return to the US on 10/19 due to work commitments. I found out that all of Catalonia organized a general strike and a march on Barcelona for that day and the day before. I had no choice and had to purchase a ticket going back home from Paris. that ticket cost an additional $515, a cost that I expected is covered by the policy. There is no way, ill ever forget that. How often civil unrest happen, that it wouldn’t be covered. What’s the point of paying for a policy that is useless. Rest assured that I will not shut up about it to my friends. Employer, family.

We appreciate your feedback. Here is the reply from Travelex:
"Thank you for taking the time to post about your experience on Insure My Trip.
The Travel Select policy purchased is a Named Peril Policy, meaning any reason for Cancellation or Interruption is listed in the policy details, and if it is not listed, then there is no coverage. The policy details which were sent to you, via email, on October 4, 2019, at 9:38 am, when the policy was purchase, also lists all the exclusions.
The exclusions listed on the Travel Select plan are standard in the Travel Insurance Industry and do reference very specific scenarios.
We empathize with your unfortunate situation, and we are happy that you arrived home safely. However, it is important to remember that insurance is highly regulated, and all claims are determined based on the documentation submitted in relation to the policy that was purchased.
Having never filed a claim, I am not in a position to recommend this company. The mere existence of the policy with no claims ever filed doesn’t provide enough information to evaluate them.

Very poor service with lack of communication. I got the impression that they just don't care and thus wasted a lot of time. They are carrying the Berkshire Hathaway name and are doing them a disservice.

Insurance provides peace of mind. This policy provided coverage for cancelled shore excursion that we almost needed but the tour company refunded our money. The ship was not able to dock due to weather conditions.

Fortunately, I did not have to file a claim for you for my trip protection, , Just a thought of having my needs covered in case it was needed, made my vacation much more enjoyable.

It's insurance. Fortunately, I did not need it. But I have a travel companion who did on a different trip and between her insurance and mine, we suffered no out-of-pocket expenses. That experience confirmed my position that I will not travel without it, particularly the medical and evacuation coverage. I always refer InsureMyTrip.com to anyone who asks me about trip insurance.
