This is the first time I have had to use my insurance, so I was a little worried if I had the right documents and if the claim would be accepted. My flight was cancelled and rescheduled. I submitted a hotel receipt for the night and it was approved in less than 2 weeks. I am very pleased with the process. Travelex/Berkshire Hathaway had a form to fill out, along with my receipts, and all could be submitted by email. I contacted customer service to begin the claim and spoke with a knowledgeable rep.

Insured every trip we have taken out of country, and a couple in the U.S. travels. Never had to use it, but great peace of mind. Guess I'll have a better review if we ever need to use it. But stuff happens, fortunately not to use. I'll keep using various plans through Insure My Trip company.

I was very happy with Travelex travel basic plan. Once I submitted my documents, I received a check for the total amount allowed. My phone was lost on an international flight and I immediately called Travelex and my agent, Candace, worked on my case. My claim was approved and I was sent me a check within 3 weeks. Great service! I will use them again.

Travelex Travel Basic
The only problem with this insurance is that there is no compensation for a 3+ day delay of one of my bags when I returned home. Luckily, it was on my return home, but I think having not received my bag for this long period of time, with no compensation (even minimal) is wrong. They do not cover travel delay for arrival at the return place which makes sense, but still - having a bag missing that long is a total inconvenience and you would think that travel insurance would at least have some way to address it.

    Thank you for your feedback on the policy. We are sorry to learn that your bags were delayed on the return journey. Baggage Delay benefits are designed to cover replacement of personal necessities when baggage is delayed by common carrier during outbound travel or during segments of your onward journey, but does not include coverage for the return trip to home or your final destination ending the trip. This is the industry standard.
    We strongly recommend customers read the terms and conditions of the policy within the review period to determine if the policy fits your needs. If the policy does not fit your needs, it can be cancelled within the review period for a refund of premium. Please call us at 800-487-4722 if you have any questions or concerns.
