Travelex Travel Basic
Although I didn't end up using the travel insurance, the Travelex people were very friendly and helpful. I bought the insurance on a Sunday night and my husband hurt his leg Monday afternoon, the very next day. I called Travelex to make sure that it was covered, in case we had to cancel the trip. The person, whom I talked to, assured me that it was and e-mailed me the forms that I would need in case we had to cancel the trip, so that I would have them when my husband went to his doctor's appointment.

As it turned out, we were able to go on the trip, but I was very pleased with the customer service from Travelex. They were very friendly with me on the telephone.

I will continue to buy Travelex insurance for my other trips.

After my husbands back injury we still had hopes of making this trip, until the final outcome was surgery. We asked for copies of all medical records as we went through various procedures as we always do. We sent these in with our claim and it was processed within weeks. We were very satisfied with the whole experience and would definitely insure our next trip with them.

Didn't need to use it so don't know how a claim would have worked. Bought it for peace of mind while traveling.

The cost of the coverage seems quite high. It would be helpful to have more information on why the cost is what it is.

My positive evaluations to the list of standard questions regarding satisfaction are simply based on the fact that I had no reason to file a claim. I did not encounter any problems with airlines, hotels, or health. This was the third time purchasing insurance for 'peace of mind'. It worked!

Fortunately, I did not have to use the insurance, but it provided what I needed (evacuation & repatriation coverage) at a reasonable price.

We have always looked for travel ex when using overseas and or travel insurance. Their competitive rates and being able to buy it directly helps us in choosing Travelex. Although we have never filed a claim in all the trips travelex has insured, I am sure we will not have any problems If we ever have to do so
