A friend purchased the plan for the same trip for less than half my price. What affects the cost? Perhaps more detail when purchasing would have let me know.

I got sick just a few days after the "review period" was over, and tried to cancel the policy, since I would NOT be taking the trip. This happened the first week of Sep. The canceled trip was for Nov 1. I could not get a penny back. Emailed several times. $472 gone! If you might get sick, you must do it within ten days of purchasing the plan. No sympathy. Ridiculous!

Overall the process is simple to navigate, but slow due to the excusive email approach. There should be a phone number easily accessible to provide a more person service.

It was nice to have a reasonably priced plan that still offered a good amount of dollar one medical coverage and emergency evacuation coverage.
