Travel Insurance Reviews Travelex Travel Basic

Travel Basic is a budget friendly plan offering comprehensive trip cost protection as well as coverage for other unforeseen events that may arise during your trip. Coverages include Trip Cancellation and Interruption, Baggage Loss or Delay, Travel Delays, and Emergency Medical Evacuation. Coverage on this plan is primary, meaning you don't have to submit claims through other insurance first.

We've used you several times, but never had to use the insurance. That will be the REAL test. But in the mean time, your site is easy and clear to use.

I compared it with another plan by the same company and felt that the plan I selected was quite adequate for my needs and considerably cheaper. I will contact you again for my next trip.

I had no need to use the coverage but it was nice to have there. If I'm lucky enough to get a spot on the NKOTB cruise next year I will definitely get my insurance through you!

Too much fine print. Hard to tell just what is and is not covered. There has to be a simpler way to explain coverage. Doubt if trip insurance is worth it if you don't even know what you purchased.

I 'Insured my Trip' last year using Travelex and the cruise I was on had problems resulting in a very late arrival in Ft Lauderdale. I had to rebook my flight for the next day and incurred a fee for that along with a hotel room and a meal. I filled out a claim upon arriving home and received a check covering everything, no muss no fuss

I was hurt in Hawaii and I wanted to call and find out what the procedure to follow was since I have never had to use the insurance in the past. It was very difficult because of the time difference. They closed at 5:00 Eastern time.

We never needed to use it. But it gave us peace of mind because we had trip cancellation covered.

I was unable to travel due to chemotherapy treatment. But your insurance was recommended by the travel expert on the Today Show, and Bottom Line magazine.

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS CRAP INSURANCE. This is the third plan we have purchased through this garbage scow of a company and the first claim we've filed. It's perfect for those who want a false sense of security that their trip is insured. This junk plan is not worth the paper it's printed on. We filed a legitimate claim that was denied. Fairly priced, but worthless if claims are not fairly paid out. Total waste of money, time and effort.
