At first I was nervous about this plan because it was the second to cheapest option, but I bought it thinking there was very little chance I would need to actually use it. Lo and behold, my trip was cancelled by the tour operator and I had nonrefundable flights. When I was submitting my claim I wasn’t sure if the cancellation reason was covered since it didn’t fall under the usual categories. You do have the option of calling to speak with someone and to ask questions, but I didn’t - I just submitted all my documentation and hoped for the best. The process to submit documentation was simple enough (you can either upload thru the mobile app or send via email), although I wish the mobile app can be improved to provide more details about the claim so that I didn’t need to email again to confirm that my docs were received. They tell you the review process can take up to 15 business days. My claim was approved after 6 business days. Happy it all worked out so I have already purchased Berkshire Hathaway insurance for another upcoming trip and plan to keep using them in the future!

While we did not need to use the policy it provided reassurance and peace of mind. My 5 year old awoke with some eye redness and swelling that did end up getting better with some Benadryl but it was reassuring to know I had insurance coverage if needed.

After purchasing the insurance for a cruise I realized I could have purchased similar insurance, for this cruise, through the cruise line, for a fraction of the cost.

Not sure how it would have been IF actually needed to file a claim, but the peace of mind having the coverage was worth the cost, knowing the reputation of Berkshire Hathaway.

Great plan for the possibility of delayed of bumped flights that might negate your trip (like making a meeting or memorial that is time sensitive) - a common possibility lately. A 5 hour delay would have made it impossible to make my time schedule. That and the price were my deciding factors on policy.
