Gave peace of mind. While on vacation in Hawaii a hurricane came nearby our island as we were preparing to return home. It gave us a secure feeling knowing that we had insurance in the event our return was disrupted.

I have paid for 6 insurance plans on Cruises and have had no claims. I am starting to question my investments because of high costs. .

I have bought travel insurance for many, many trips and have never made a claim. With this purchase I had to make my first claim. I completed about 5 pages of paperwork including having a page completed by my doctor. I received a complete refund within 2 weeks of sending in the paperwork. No hassles. The claims process was really easy and straight forward. I will definitely be purchasing Travelex insurance again.

Since our vacation went smoothly we had no reason to use the insurance; however, the peace of mind was worth the cost. The website application works very well.

Travelex Travel Basic
When my trip was forced to be cut short due to the death of my father-in-law, we incurred non refundable hotel costs and airfare change fees. When I contacted Travelex, I was sent a 10 page form to be filled out, including one page which required the patient's doctor who I did not know nor had ever been in contact with. The doctor filled out the form as if it was for my father-in-law making the claim, not me because it was so confusing. Never did file the claim as my charge card covered the issue with no hassle at all. Makes me mad that I ever bought travel insurance since it appeared the insurance company was trying to make it impossible to prove that there was a covered incident.
