TruTravel was great in every way. Plans are flexible, costs reasonable, the staff friendly and professional, and claim settlement reasonably quick. I have nothing but praise for the company.

I was upset that I had the preexisting condition exclusion. Worried that this clause would make it difficult to get coverage if I needed it. Didnt know that only by purchasing coverage simultaniously with plane tickets would I not get this exclusion. I dont always have all of my plans set at the same time. Otherwise, the plan was adequate.

There were two wonderful results regarding the use of your insurance product. The first is the knowledge that our travel and investment and health were protected and the second is that we did not need to use it. This may sound odd but because we knew we had the coverage we were able to relax and enjoy our travels.
Thank you.

Glad I did not have to use it. Provided peace of mind for a fraction of what the cruise line wanted. Thanks

As I did not file a claim, it is difficult to judge how good this policy would be when it comes down to conducting the business of settling someone's problem. I know that for the short business trip I was taking, the policy appears to have covered the things of a great concern for me: trip interruption, trip cancellation, lost luggage (since some of mine was work-related). And for under $30, it seems to take a good deal into consideration for such a reasonable price. I would not have chosen it had I not read reviews from others who had actually filed claims. I have two more trips upcoming -- both for pleasure, so TruTravel will definitely be at the top of my list when I'm seeking quotes.

Didn't need to use any aspect of it, so kind of hard to review.

Although I did not have the need to file a claim the price that I paid for my coverage was pennies compare to what the airline wanted to charge me just for the airfare coverage.

Never had to use it, so cannot tell how it would have worked, but I prefer to not know.
