Peace of mind. That's the effect of having a CSA Travel plan. That feeling of being protected is priceless !

My wife slipped and fell coming off a tour bus hurting her leg her right arm and back. We made a claim with your company and your representative was kind and very receptive to her possible future needs and we felt assured we would your support if needed later on and we will use you in the future on any new trips we take. Thank you. Vincent Bosa

I learned during this trip's insurance purpose that these plans are less useful for the non-medical aspects of a trip. It became clear to me that these plans are targeted more to folks that pay all costs and have no option of receiving a refund ONLY as of the day prior to your trip's departure.
For example, on our most recent 23 day trip one of our B&Bs would not give refunds after we were only four days into our trip and most other B&Bs would not give refunds only a few days prior to our first night's stay. According the person we spoke to at Insuremytrip there were no CSA or other companys' policies that would cover that situation since it was still refundable as of the day we left for our trip. So if we would have had to return home suddenly after five days into our trip, we would have lost the money for the B&B that needed 3 weeks notice for a full refund. In addition if both of us on this policy would have been incapacitated and unable to cancel all the other B&Bs that had better refund policies (say 2 or 3 days before our stay at them), we would still have to pay those B&Bs.
SO BE FOREWARNED: CSA and other companies will NOT pay unless it was prepaid and non-refundable the day before leaving on your trip. Perhaps the chances of this happening are low but it makes it more difficult to determine the amount of insurance to purchase...I had to file an amendment several times as I further planned the B+Bs for our trip. The travel part of the insurance seems to cater to the fully up front funded vacation via a third party. Wouldn't they have formulas to determine that risk an just fully cover all costs if something should happen during the trip?
That said the medical part of the policy is worth it. We didn't use it during this trip but we had to during a previous trip and were very satisfied.

Thank you for your feedback on the policy. We appreciate that you chose InsureMyTrip for your travel insurance needs. We hope that fellow customers will find your review and our response to be educational and informative. The industry standard for costs that are insurable for trip cancellation and trip interruption would be the nonrefundable costs that were pre-paid prior to your scheduled departure date. If you have any questions or concerns please call us at 800-487-4722.Sep 25,2017

Thankfully, I had no need to file any claim so really, I cannot write a review

We had an absolutely PERFECT Carnival Cruise to New England/Canada with Caribbean-like weather (Sept 9 - 16). The only bad experience we had was waiting on Super Shuttle for 3 hours in New York to take us to LaGuardia airport. Since we did not file any claims with your company, I cannot give an opinion on how your company pays on claims. Had a wonderful trip!

Insurance is always something you hope you won't have to use and once the trip is done and enjoyed you wonder if you really needed to spend that money. I do this because once I had a trip planned and had to cancel. Your company was very easy to work with and the coverage was complete. I bought the insurance to hedge my bet so to speak. I didn't need to file a claim and I hope that I don't again, but I will continue buying trip insurance from you because one never knows and you were great to work with twice when we did have to file a claim.

Thank you for providing feedback on this policy.
With all of our travel insurance policies, prices would be determined based on three factors; (1) the ages of the travelers, (2) the cost of the trip you are insurance and (3) the length of travel.
We always recommend contacting us when looking for a travel insurance policy. Our licensed representatives are available 7 days a week and can find you the policy that covers your travel needs at the lowest cost. We can be reached at 1-800-487-4722.Sep 20,2017
