Though I did not have to use the plan, it was piece of mind knowing we had coverage should something happen.

Frankly, it’s hard to rate a plan without having filed a claim.

Might be worth it for catastrophic coverage but not much else.
On extended travel, I called for help refilling my prescription medications while in the UK. Had to give a LOT of info over the phone to someone seemed very ill-informed about the policy -- I had to explain to her. Said she'd get back to me. Several days later (!), someone emailed and just offered a list of medical practices I could visit in area, ALL of which were inappropriate/useless (e.g., cardiology only practice when I needed a general practice referral to get a UK prescription). I found better information just Googling on my own. I had to solve the problem myself rather than getting any help. And why did it take several days for someone to reply with useless information?
Even worse: My spouse had an injury during our trip for which he sought treatment in the UK. We started a claim for it but then saw that the documentation required to fill out was so extensive, that it would take several hours of work for us to complete all the required forms, so we gave up as not being worth our time. His medical costs were less than $500. There should be different documentation requirements for small claims like ours vs. more expensive ones!
In short, we tried to use this policy but it turned out to be worthless to us.

Thank you for your feedback. Berkshire Travel Protection is a comprehensive plan and does offer to wide range of benefits. However, we did forward your request to Berkshire Hathaway who did contact their 3rd party provider and agree that their provider failed to provide you with the level of service that you had a right to expect. Berkshire Hathaway offers their apology and appreciates your bringing this issue to their attention.Oct 15,2019

It was well worth the peace of mind this provided on our cruise. Thankfully we did not have to file a claim.

I buy trip insurance all the time, especially for a big trip. I don't have any real comments, because luckily I did not have to use / file a claim. However, it is always nice to have.

Coverage and price seemed reasonable, but I can't comment beyond this because I did not have to file a claim.

I'm glad I didn't have to use it but I feel whatever incident that could have occurred would have been covered.

My mother and I just got back from a trip to Kenya from the USA, and our tour operator required trip insurance. We typically purchase trip insurance when we go abroad, but for some reason, this time, the insurance was over $700 for both of us, WAY more than we've ever paid. (Typically it's $2-300). While I was very disappointed in the price, the coverage seemed very good. Thankfully we did not have to use the insurance. I was impressed with the insuremytrip website, it made it easy to compare plans and prices.
