This is my second time using this company, even though I did not have to file a claim everything went like clock work I felt safe & secure purchasing my insurance for my trip & will more than likely use again in the future! Thank You.

After comparing several plans, this one was the lowest cost for the essential coverage I needed for my family on a cruise from NYC to Bermuda. That coverage include emergency evacuation (from the ship at sea, if necessary) and emergency medical (while in a foreign port). Although the likelihood of using such coverage is slim, it is always best to error on the side of caution. Since I did not need to file any claims I cannot rate that aspect of the policy, but can say that the price was right for what coverage I wanted.

I've never purchased travel insurance before, but this plan was available for such a reasonable price that I figured why not. It really provided me with peace of mind for my trip.

I purchased trip insurance because I have an elderly father and never know when I'll be needed. We spent a lot of money on tickets, an apartment rental, and some tours to risk losing it. We found this insurance plan covered the important items and was at a competitive price. Fortunately, I didn't have to use it but it was worth the piece of mind.
