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!

The plan was recommended to me by InsureMyTrip. After several questions and reading all the paperwork, the plan covered all my needs at the best price. I didn't need to file a claim, so I can't comment on that.

I did not need to use my plan, but it was very comforting to have a plan to rely on in case I did. I didn't worry about issues occurring thanks to my coverage.

This coverage is very affordable and covers all of your travel incidental necessities. I will be using the same when I travel again!

I felt secure that I was suitably covered for all eventualities on my trip. I did not make any claim so cannot comment on customer care when needed.
