I only filed one claim with the company and that was for an medical emergency. The fee for treatment was a reasonable 75.00. TruTravel reimbursed 25.00. A few years ago we used American Express as our travel insurer and had a similar incident. American Express reimbursed for the entire amount. Not a fan of TruTravel and will not use them in the future.

A minor flight delay expense was immediately responded to and paid off within a few weeks. Very satisfied with their claims department.

The plan was set up more for people taking cruises or tours. We were traveling independently,so aside from airfares, it was hard to estimate the cost of the trip. We buy the insurance for peace of mind, but given our particular circumstances, I feel that all the travel insurance companies are slightly overpriced. However, I might have felt differently if I had had occasion to file a claim. Fortunately, that was unnecessary.

Almost filed a claim for interrupted trip but was able to complete trip after getting meds from my home town doctor. The 2 reps with whom I spoke when considering a claim were very patient, polite, and helpful, and genuinely concerned about my situation.
