I must admit I was very skeptical purchasing this insurance due to the low cost. Unfortunately over Christmas just 4 weeks or so before our trip I ended up having a medical issue which landed me in the hospital for a week, and grounded me from flying. Reluctantly I filed a claim figuring I would never see any $$. Well I stand highly corrected! I received in the mail today a check for the entire amount I lost. TruTravel, you have got my business from this point on; you made a very low part of my life much brighter and easier! Thank You!!

When I called to get information on trip insurance, the representative was very helpful. She did not try to oversell us on things we might not need. She even told us that we didn't need to print all the pages of the insurance agreement. The price was very reasonable and covered us in the event of weather cancellations, which was what we were most concerned with. Trying to get out of Buffalo, NY in January can be tricky.

Without the need to file a claim it is difficult to fully judge this insurance plan, but the price and coverage seemed appropriate if the need had arisen.

This was the first time I bought trip insurance and I did a lot of comparison shopping before I decided on this particular plan. TruTravel made it easy to compare multiple plans at once. I'm very glad we didn't have to use the coverage, but I'll definitely use TruTravel again for my trip insurance needs.
