I would recommend Insure My Trip to my friends and relatives. We were 12 people. We didn't have to use the TruTravel Super Saver Plan so we could not really say how satisfied we were with their service. But it was a very comprehensive plan for the money. I would definitely take out this plan again.

The woman who helped us on Insure My trip was wonderful and very knowledgeable! The plan was very reasonable. It was very comprehensive. Fortunately we did not have to use it so it would be difficult to say whether I was satisfied with the plan. We were 12 family members on the trip. Two are still on the trip until Friday. I would definitely use Insure My Trip Again.

Although we were fortunate not to have to use our TruTravel insurance on this trip, we found the ability to compare plans and prices very helpful on the InsureMyTrip web site. This is the third time we have used TruTravel and InsureMyTrip for our travel needs.

I called them when I knew the trip would not happen due to the death of my traveling companion. They told me what paper work to submit which I did and I received the reimbursement money in 2 weeks.

We did not purchase a travel insurance policy until AFTER I had a heart attack. However, it made us realize there were a whole lot of things that could still happen that could make us lose our trip and our money, so we bought the policy understanding there were certain limitations. Nine days before we were to sail on Nov 25, my husband got a jury summons for Nov 26. We called to see about his getting out of jury duty and was told he probably could, but he would have to come in on the 26th to get out or face contempt charges. We had no choice but to cancel our cruise 5 days before sailing. There was absolutely no problem or questions. We sent in the documentation requested and before we would have been back home from the cruise, we received our checks in the mail. Of course we will book again after the holidays and we will take insurance out when we book the cruise so everything will be covered should we have to cancel or should we have trouble while at sea and need to be air lifted home. Thank you for such speedy, easy resolution to our problem. (Yes, my husband was excused--a day too late for us to sail.)
Milton R. would recommend this plan to a friend or relative.

Due to Hurricane Sandy our trip was delayed a week. Luckily, we were able to reschedule and had a wonderful life experience.
