I did not have to file a claim so I have no knowledge of whether the coverage is "good," but the coverage certainly seems comprehensive for the price, especially compared to other policies.

The coverage under the plan was adequate for my needs. This is the third time I have purchased the plan for a trip. I have never needed to file a claim.

My problem was that the price had risen considerably since I last purchased the TruTravel Super Saver plan. From January 2013 to July 2013, the price for the exact same coverage has inexplicably tripled. I will look for a different insurance for my next trip.

The best thing about any insurance policy is not having to use it. I appreciated having the security at a reasonable price.

I didn't need to use it at all, or make a claim for anything, but it was good peace of mind to have it there, and made my trip less stressful.

I always insure my trips that involve air/hotel/etc. outside the continental US. I have used InsureMyTrip for every one and have always been pleased with the product and the service. Fortunately, I have only had one minor claim and it was handled very professionally.
