    The insurance person that I spoke to was wonderful. I told him when I wanted it, and they clearly gave me options of which I took one.!

    She was very clear and concise. She made it very easy and actually deserves a raise for being so good at what she does!

    This is the second time that I have had a trip interruption situation and had to file a claim with Travelex. Both times, my claim was handled quickly, and I recouped the amount I requested. Their service is really 5 Star.

    They are not the lowest cost insurance, but it is worth the small amount extra to get insurance that pays when necessary.

    I suggest: Notify Travelex via email as soon as your problem occurs. Keep all your receipts, of course. If the only thing you have to prove your claim is messages to your phone, keep screen saves. Keep boarding passes to prove your flight changed. Print your VISA bill and highlight charges. They will need records, but they accept the sort of things I just mentioned.

    Related to a different trip, I contacted Travelex and another company with questions before choosing my policy. I asked them what would be paid if I had to cancel a cruise that I planned to purchase with vouchers plus cash. Travelex clearly explained what would be paid and also what documentation I would need. The other company did not explain what documentation I would need. Knowing that ahead of time is very important.
