Luckily, we had no medical problems this trip but the company provided excellent summaries and reminders of all the coverage we might need. Excellent and necessary for peace of mind!

It was easy to obtain and was lower than anything local. Very pleased and have bookmarked for future trips.

Although it is a added cost to travel we cannot justify not getting it for the security it gives. We only had to file a claim once, 20 trips ago it went smooth that we have not traveled without insurance since.
