I liked the price for what I received. Lower than most companies. Hopefully I will never have to use the insurance but feel confident I have it. Certainly will use your company again. It was also good company policy when you sent a message before I left on my trip reiterating same - thank you

Didn't have to file a claim but the peace of mind provided by the policy was worth the cost. A little pricey since we are both over 65 but still within reason.

While I didn't have to file a claim, I did fall at the Pyramids in Egypt hurting my knee. It took several days to heal, but I was glad I had the insurance in case further medical treatment was needed.

Was unable to take the trip due to medical reasons and had to file a claim and then an amended claim. The process for filing the claim and the amount of time to receive payment was excellent. Very easy process and very timely. Most definitely will continue to purchase this plan for future trips.
