We did not have to use the plan but we were relieved to know that it would have covered at least some of our expenses had we needed to delay our return because of Hurricane Dorian.

Did not have the need to use it....we rarely purchase trip insurance, but for an active adventure to South America, it was a comfort to have.

I did not find that the coverage is adequate for extreme sport. While you are hiking in remote areas, better coverage is needed.

The purchase was easy and the customer service representative was able to direct me to the plan that best suited my needs. The whole thing took about 10 minutes and the price was reasonable compared to what I have paid for other plans.

I've never had to file a claim yet but it always gives me peace of mind to know it's there if I need it. Plus it is more reasonably priced than what is offered by the travel agency or cruise line.
I was sick several years ago with the flu and went on my cruise anyway because I did not have Insurance.

This is the second policy I purchased in the past year. Thankfully we have not needed to file a claim. So I don’t really know how good the policy is or how quickly claims are processed. However the peace of mind was wonderful. The policy I chose would cover all my concerns if need be.
