I find InsureMyTrip's way of presenting their material easy to follow and use as a cost comparison among the many companies to choose from.

Fortunately we did not encounter any problems and did not have to avail ourselves of the insurance. InsuremyTrip's employees who answer the phone are polite and quite knowledgeable.

We traveled to Europe and had peace of mind knowing that InsureMyTrip would be there if we needed them.

We're not sure how effective this travel insurance is, given that we did not need it. However, we did learn through this process that it is better to purchase such insurance upon booking travel, thus such insurance policies are more exhaustive in their coverage, such as coverage for pre-existing conditions, etc.

It was cheaper than what the cruise line wanted. It was nice knowing we had the insurance to fall back on in case we needed it at a low cost. Thank you.

I have never purchased travel insurance before but with the distance and time in our travels I felt it would be peace of mind if anything did happen. Everything went smoothly and did not have to file a claim. Would use you again.

Even though I didn't need to use the insurance, I felt better knowing I had it. I'm not sure how smooth a claims process would be since I didn't need to do that, but I would hope that it would be taken care of if you have all the documentation on the issue available.

We luckily didn't need to file a claim but we absolutely felt so much more confident knowing that coverage was there if we needed it. We compared many plans and read a lot of reviews and this plan had the same coverage as many plans that cost quite a bit more. The reviews were mostly positive from those that did have to file a claim. I suggest purchasing travel insurance within 14 days of booking your trip because you have more options available for the same price.

Reasonably priced with the comfort of knowing we were covered for the uncertainties of travel during hurricane season.
