Did not need it this year but you never know. It is a necessary purchase when you are traveling. We and family members have had to use it in the past and were very happy it was all in place.

It's very hard to rate something that you haven't used. The only way we'd know is if we had a problem. We didn't have one.

I didn't have to file a claim but it was good to have insurance. I was a little uncertain about the extent of coverage that I bought and would have liked a way (there may have been a way but I didn't figure it out) to have asked specific questions before I bought.

since I didn't need to file a claim, I don't know how that service works, but I did appreciate the attention to details. I got an email just before I left and then when I returned. I have not had that with other plans I have used in the past.

I am was pleased that I did not get to use the plan. But it was a great comfort to know that I had the coverage if I needed it. In the future I would use TruTravel and recommend it to others. Also, I inquired about pricing with 2 other insurance companies and I found TruTravel to be the most reasonable.
