I always buy trip insurance and I always buy it from Insuremytrip. It is easy to pick the right level of insurance at a price you can afford. It just makes for a worry free journey knowing you have back up!
I have never filed a claim and hope to never have to but I've got it covered with these plans

I was comfortable on my trip after hearing about Hurricane Irma and was glad we had the insurance if something had happened to us due to the storm.

Had to cancel trip due to jury duty and the claim was handled promptly without the unnecessary back and forth and resending of stuff that I experienced with a different company a few years back.
I sent one email with attached documentation; they contacted me after a week or so by phone and email to request a receipt I had not included. I sent that and when I emailed for follow-up after around 2 weeks, they phoned to tell me the check had already been mailed. From the time I contacted them for the forms to the day I received a check was exactly 1 month.
The only suggestion I would have for them is to provide a link for claimants to access the forms online. You have to email them for the forms and that takes about a week. Not a huge deal but would be nice. Would definitely use them again.

Thankfully we did not have to file a claim but it was reassuring to know that we had the insurance in place. It was affordable and quick and simple to acquire.

It's very comforting to know you are covered if the worst happens. Glad that did not happen. Nobody should travel without coverage.
Cost does escalate with age
Thank you.

The best insurance is one you never have to use....we we're fortunate to fall in this category. So, while I can't provide feedback on the claims process, I can say that our policy provided excellent coverage for a very reasonable price. We would definitely buy this policy again.

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.

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.
