I did not have to use it, so I can not rate it. However I always got a comp plan from IMT.com when I travel.

This plan fit my travel needs and budget. Luckily I didn’t need to use it. I would use them again in the future.

Since I did not file a claim it is difficult to properly evaluate the plan. However, I believe that the plan covered most of the risks that I have when traveling.

It was difficult for me find an easy cheat sheet on my phone of what would we covered or to have a handy proof of coverage page for traveling. I ended up just printing some clunky email to take with but it wasn't smooth or convenient.

I feel that the plan was cost effective and that it offers the most important items I care to insure.
I didn't have to file any claims thus I can't comment on their service.

It’s good that there was no need to file a claim, which makes it difficult to rate the policy. We budgeted the policy into our planned spend, so yes affordable, but I suppose it can always cost less. I’m glad we had the coverage, and also glad it was not necessary to file a claim.

I’m so glad I didn’t need to use this coverage while vacationing in Egypt, but I felt assured in case of emergency.

Would've liked a cancel for any reason option. My family member was very sick but because they weren't traveling with us I wouldn't have been covered if I needed to remain home to help care for them.

Thank you very much for submitting your review. However, the number one covered reason for Trip Cancellation is "Sickness, Accidental Injury or death of You, a Traveling Companion or Family Member; which results in medically imposed restrictions as certified by a Physician at the time of loss preventing your participation in the Trip. A Physician must advise cancellation of the Trip on or before the Scheduled Departure Date..." Your family member does not need to be traveling with you. Of course, the reason to cancel must be unforeseen so there would have been no coverage if the family member was already sick on the date that you purchased the plan. In the case of an individual that is already ill, you would have needed to purchase a policy that included the "Cancel for Any Reason" benefit.
We are available weekdays 7:00 AM to midnight ET and weekends 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM ET if you have any questions.May 15,2018
