Travel Insurance Reviews for Travelex Travel Basic

The insuremytrip website was very useful in finding the best plan to suit my needs. I selected the benefits that were important to me to filter the available plans and then picked the one with the lowest price that had decent reviews. We had to cancel our trip due to my wife's illness. The claims process was clear and straight-forward. The Confirmation of Coverage included a link to file a claim. I filled out the web page, which generated an email to me with the claims form attached, as well as clear instructions and a 6-item checklist of items they needed. I had the choice of emailing the documents, uploading them, or mailing them. I chose email. When I emailed the final document on the list (which needed to filled out and signed by a doctor, so it took a week or so), I asked them to keep me apprised of the status of my claim. I didn't hear anything other than an automated response saying they had received my email, so after 5 days I called. It didn't take too long to get through to a live person. They told me it can take up to 15 days to process the claim. Three days later (8 days after I emailed the last document), I received an email saying the claim was approved and payment would be by EFT to my bank. Within a few days, I received notice from my bank that the deposit had been made. I'm quite happy with the whole experience.
