It's hard to know if the plan was the right choose for us, as we didn't need to use it. Which is great I hope if we would have needed to use it that it would have covered us. That's why a person purchases the policy to be protected & for piece of mind. Can only hope that if you need it someday that they helped you purchase the correct protection that you'll need.

The site was easy to navigate and find the option for coverage I found to be adequate.
I did not need to file a claim, so I cannot review that process.

We were pleased with the coverage but very happy we didn’t need to use it. It’s great to be able to travel without having to worry!
