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.
If you are anxiety prone or suspect that "foreign" cuisine might be challenging for you, this is protection you should probably consider. Due to our age; my husband's aversion to any food other than basic meat and potatoes and the many different areas we traveled to - including the Amazon, we think this was worth the cost.

My family and I traveled to Israel for the holiday. My son, a year and six month old came down with a severe fever and would not stop vomiting. We rushed him to the emergency room, the doctors examined and treated him and he quickly recovered. I filled a claim with Travelex and I received a check within two weeks.
I would definitely use them again. Thanks

The plan was easy to purchase and a good value. Fortunately, we didn’t have any claims to file, so we can’t speak to that side of it. Will purchase again for our next trip!

On the plus side, they did pay my entire claim, and everyone I talked to was polite. On the negative side, they spent a lot of my time making me jump through hoops to get there, as if you are inherently trying to cheat them. In this case, a $300 hotel room I didn't get to in Alaska after cancelling the cruise to Alaska (for medical reasons). The hotel bill was the subject of several phone calls and emails and documentation requests. Funny, they were fine with paying for the cruise, the expensive part. If they had been gracious about the fraction of the total cost (the hotel), I could have given them a stellar review. I've bought a dozen policies in the past; this is my first claim; if not for the hassle, I'd probably buy from them again and they probably would've made back their $300 on my next buy! (Not to mention the labor costs they are paying for ... people to nitpick over every dime.) In fairness, I must say that this is my first claim; maybe all the companies are like this. One word of advice: one must prove one purchased something: if you are traveling with other people, don't split any prepaid costs, because it is then hard to prove who paid for what when you try to claim it. Pay your own way (with receipts) for all of it. And get cancellation receipts too.

We apologize for the frustration you experienced when filing a claim. On this claim, we received all of the cancellation documentation for the cruise on the initial submission (Invoice, proof of payment, proof of cancellation). However, for the hotel stay we only had the booking invoice, but no proof of payment or cancellation. Sometimes suppliers do make exceptions on cancellations for certain circumstances or issue a credit, so we did need to get the verification of the cancelled segment to complete the claim. I can understand his frustration given the cost of the cruise vs. the cost of the hotel, but proof of loss is required for all segments of a claim.
