Thankfully, I did not need to call upon the Insurance. However, as an older woman traveling to third-world countries, having this coverage gave great peace of mind to me and to my family. That is certainly well worth the cost.

Luckily we didn't have to use it. So how it really would work when you actually needed would be the only fair rating. Maybe you need to ask those who actually used the services.

The plan provided the protection that I needed for this particular trip. I experienced no difficulties on this trip, so I did not file any claims.

I attempted to call your company to file a claim and get help with a trip delay in India. I was told from the 24 hour emergency number that they could not help me, could not tell me whether scheduling a flight out of that mess would be covered, could not send me more information about coverage,and were the least helpful people in a time of stress. I regret purchasing this package and will warn everyone I can not to purchase it. I organized many group trips a year and could not have been more disappointed. It has been the worse experience with a agency I have ever had.

I compared with other plans- this seemed reasonable in terms of what I wanted- evacuation protection and limited upfront medical payments if needed.

Eight flights across the country and back at Christmas and New Year, I was concerned about flight disasters. One missed flight but the airline rebooked without a problem. CSA provided peace of mind. A side note, flew into Fort Lauderdale the Monday before the shooting rampage. I am sure CSA is taking care of their customers associated with this disaster.

Yes, I liked the plan and will do so again in the near future. The most important part of the plan is the protection for the cost of the trip, in case of having to cancel.

I purchased a plan through CSA for a cruise I was taking with my 80+ year old parents in this past October. My parents also purchased travel insurance through insuremytrip, but with another carrier. I've purchased trip insurance a dozen or more times in the past and luckily, never had to make a claim.
Well this time, lo and behold, my poor mother fell and broke her hip 12 days prior to our departure date. I immediately started my claim. I had a difficult time getting my mother's orthopedic surgeon's office to complete CSA's Physician Statement form because the office said it was a HIPAA violation - regardless of the fact that my mother had signed a release specifically allowing them to disclose that information to CSA. Since my mother had also purchased insurance and her surgeon DID complete her carrier's Physician's Statement form, I submitted a copy of that one to CSA and asked if they would take it instead of their own form and apparently they did because my claim was subsequently approved and I was reimbursed the entire cruise fare and my airfare!
I must admit I was worried for a time because I got the feeling they were not going to approve the claim. I am completely satisfied with the process, which understandably, was a lot of paperwork and several hoops to jump through, but I would not hesitate in the future to purchase another plan through CSA....although they may not be keen on insuring somebody in the future that they had to pay out on. I'll have to test that out.
