Greatly anticipating the day that affordable insurance coverage is possible to everyone. This will only be accomplished by free intra-state commerce that is offered by this type of business model. Thank you.

Well, we had one segment of one traveler(out of 4) with trip interruption due to a funeral. Because this deceased person did not meet their criteria, it was denied. All $71.00 of it, which was all that was asked for. That is ridiculous and I will not recommend them to anyone.

    Thank you for your feedback on your policy. We are very sorry to learn that one of the travelers had to interrupt their trip due to the death of a loved one. We understand that it is never pleasant to receive a denial for reimbursement under the Trip Interruption coverage. However, your reason to interrupt your trip must be specifically stated as a covered reason in the policy.

    According to your policy they will cover a death of a non-traveling Family Member. The way that Family Member is defined, according to the certificate, is as follows:

    "Family Member means Your or a Traveling Companion's legal or common law spouse, ex-spouse, parent, legal guardian, step-parent, grandparent, parents-in-law, grandchild, natural or adopted child, step-child, children-in-law, brother, sister, step-brother, step-sister, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, aunt, uncle, niece or nephew who reside in the United States, Canada or Mexico."

    If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call us at 800-487-4722.

Thankfully we did not have to use the insurance but was a great peace of mind knowing it was there if needed. Cost was very reasonable and especially like the preexisting condition waiver.

I highly recommend this. I did not need this but one lady in our group had to have an emergency appendectomy. They did not have insurance.
