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.

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.
