If you have coverage for part of your trip through your credit card then you should only take coverage for things that aren't covered. In our case trip interruption or cancellation, and baggage loss or delay were covered so we needed only medical coverage.

We had the almost unbelievable misfortune to have two, count them 2, 24-hour travel delays on this trip: one going, and one coming back. If something like that happens to you, be sure to save every piece of paper you get: old and new boarding passes, original itinerary, etc. You will need them to file a claim. The company was great. They paid the claim promptly and with a note that said: "It has been a pleasure to be of service."

I purchased the basic travel plan with the full intention of never needing to use it....and wanting to be prudent. Frankly, one never knows exactly what is covered until one has to use it. It is difficult for me to rate the plan without at least some scenarios where the coverage is detailed. And, of course, there is a problem with this, too, as people have to read the scenarios. Insurance plans are written by lawyers and those of us not trained in the law have great difficulty knowing exactly what the plan will do.

I always feel comfortable having purchased your basic plan but am delighted that I did not have to file a claim. Had to file a claim twice before and the claim was processed fast and I was quite satisfied.

Fortunately, I didn't have to use the insurance, but it provided peace of mind. One thing that I really liked is that it was primary coverage. I wouldn't have had to involve any other insurance I might have had.

You never know whether an insurance policy is a good one until you have a claim, and we did not for this trip. Our return flight was interrupted by a 1-day strike, which required an extra, costly day in Iceland, and which the airline now has reimbursed. We are satisfied that the scope and cost of the trip insurance policy we purchased were appropriate and that InsureMyTrip sponsors only reputable carriers. It is good to have the comfort of reliable insurance support.

We have had an unexpected cancellation in the past and your insurance was efficient with reimbursement. No hassle what so ever. We will come back and use this service provider again.

We did not have to use it, but felt very secure knowing if we did, there was coverage. Small price to pay for peace of mind!
