I have been a customer of insuremytrip.com for more than a decade, they compare different rates with different insurance providers. I have mostly purchased insurance from Travelex through insuremytrip.com, here they act as a broker on behalf of different insurance providers. As a worldwide traveler I find that travel insurance is helpful when you travel internationally. Most of the time when I file a claim it is for medical assistance. Depending on where you go, the medical costs may be far less than here in the US. Unless you are seriously injured or ill and require hospitalization, it might be easier not to file a claim, especially in places where medical costs are extremely nominal even without local insurance. Unless you are admitted to the hospital you must pay out of pocket then file a claim for reimbursement. I have found this process oftentimes very cumbersome, as you have to fill out multiple pages of forms to submit a claim and be successfully reimbursed. At the same time, I do recommend those international travelers to definitely have the insurance, because in addition to medical assistance, it also helps with flight delay and loss of luggage etc. Review the Terms & Conditions carefully, as they may not cover storms that have already been announced or other exclusions. The insurance Only covers unforeseeable problems.

This is the only company I use for travel insurance. My husband had emergency surgery while we were traveling in Taiwan. He ended up in the hospital for eleven days plus his admittance in the ER. All bills were paid including follow up visits. I also use them for travel in the USA as my ACA coverage doesn't extend beyond my provider network. They are easy to work with and provide excellent service.

We had to cancel our trip after being diagnosed with Influenza in March 2020. I was concerned that our claim would be seriously delayed due to the number of COVID-19 claims, but was pleased to receive a check in the mail for the full amount within three weeks of submitting our claim. Just purchased a policy from the same company for our rescheduled trip in October.

This is the worst experience I've ever had. I have been trying to file a claim for 4 days but no one ever answers the phone. I was on hold over three hours yesterday no one picks up. Absolutely a scam.

There were a few unexpected flight delays going to France and coming home but luckily the airlines was able to make provisions without any extra costs. It was peace of mind to having the insurance.
