I find it hard to write a review of something you usually never have to use. I just know I have seen a ship evacuation due to a medical problem, heard the price and thought I would faint! Having any insurance for these possibilities is a better choice than taking your chances! I hope we never have to use it, but it's a better choice than having nothing at all!

I never needed to use the insurance but was good to know I had it. The salesperson I death with on the phone was knowledgeable and helpful, it was an easy process to get the insurance I needed.

The low price is well worth the peace of mind for a vacation, particularly when one has elderly parents.

My last 2 trip insurance policies from InsureMyTrip.com have been with TruTravel Super Saver. This trip I did not have any claims but my trip several years ago my claim was for over $7000. The claim was handled efficiently and there were no issues getting a refund for the trip. I am highly satisfied with both InsureMyTrip and TruTravel.

It's difficult writing a review because I didn't have to use it. It was reasonably priced. It would be nice to receive a portion back due to not having to use the policy.

Disappointed that my travel delay claim was denied based on what I think is a small technicality in what is deemed a "hazard" - namely, a significant delay at Customs due to government slowdown/budget cuts that caused us to miss our flight. We spent extra funds, and lost valuable time and wages waiting for the next available flight (an extra 2 days). I do realize this was not specifically covered in the "fine print," but it would have been a nice gesture to receive even a partial amount towards the claim. I still think travel insurance is important and will consider TruTravel when booking future trips.

Thankfully I did not need to file an insurance claim, but just knowing that I had a policy eased my fears if for some unexpected reason I had to cancel or interrupt my trip. The rep was excellent and explained everything to me. I have already recommended her to a friend. Thank you.
