Good thing - we did not have any family emergencies, so did not need the insurance.

We had to file a claim due to a travel delay, and everything was processed within approx. 10 days. Good service.

This was the first time i have purchased trip insurance. It was an expensive trip, and I felt the product was priced fairly.

Since I didn't need to use it, it's hard to rate, but I have no complaints.

Did not have to use policy (all went well on trip!), so cannot comment more on how good the plan was.

It is difficult to give an opinion of a product when it was never used, but after going over the details while doing my price and coverage comparisons, this one seemed to have what I needed. Glad it was NEVER needed, but good having the peace of mind!

Traveling with families can be risky. You never know when one of you might get sick. I always get travel insurance to cover our airline tickets and most important our rental house. You might be able to change your tickets but not usually rental houses.

I did not use the insurance, so I can not really review it, other than to say it provided the best coverage for the price, given what I was looking for.
