If you take this insurance, you must be prepared to provide documents about cancellation your trip an advance.

Luckily, the insurance plan was not actually used at all, so really it is rather hard for me to "review".
Still, the rep who helped me on the phone was knowledgeable and explained all of my options and the associated expenses. I couldn't ask for more than that.

Overall we thought we were covered for all situations that would impact our trip. Unfortunately, my husband was impacted by the government shutdown and was furloughed. When we contacted customer service we were told that we did not have the additional coverage needed for a job interruption.We did go on our trip and thoroughly enjoyed it. Unfortunately, we had to use a credit card since we had a delay in getting my husband's salary. If we had the appropriate coverage, we would have not gone on the trip.

I did not need to file a claim this time but last year when we had to cancel our travel plans at the last minute, TruTravel was very helpful. It was so easy to file a claim and we had our refund within a week. That was just great!

Since (thankfully) I did not have an occasion to test the quality of the product by submitting a claim, I can say that the help received in answering questions and guidance in choosing a policy was excellent. In fact I am a return customer.

TruTravel provided excellent assistance with a travel claim related to the Estes Park Flood. Thank you very much for the excellent service and standing behind your travel policy. This event was truly not expected when we booked the trip. Glad we had the insurance!
