Travelex Travel Basic
How can one review a plan that they bought but did not use. I assume it would have paid but never used it, however, the price was about right and the online instructions were easy and quick.

You never know if insurance is any good unless you have to file a claim. Fortunately we didn't. Insurance is always too expensive unless you file a claim. Peace of Mind, not really too many T&Cs to know if you have what you need.

    The refund from Travelex in this case was for the policy premium.

Thankfully, we didn't need to use the coverage, but it certainly provided a piece of mind during our travels.

I have used the service for so many trips I think I should get a "frequent insurer" award!! I am quite satisfied except for the cost, which unfortunately is a factor of my age and nothing the insurer can correct.

Frankly, I was surprised at the ease with which I made my claim. Initially, they sent me an email with forms to fill out, which they then mailed to me (go figure) but it looked like another trip I had taken, so I didn't send them back. Still received my check for illness on a foreign cruise! I'm very happy.

Thankfully, I didn't need to file a claim. I'm sure I would have been satisfied. I was happy with the application process, and the continued interest from Travelex.
