  • Detour Insurance policy: @the edge plus

    It was simple and easy to purchase. The Representative was helpful and very informative about the policies. The prices were great also.

    Detour Insurance policy: @the edge

    I had never purchased this travel insurance before, but was very pleased with both the price and the fact that you purchased the insurance with a total price amount in mind. I never like having to call to update my travel insurance based on my additional travel plans.
    Upon arriving in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, I became sick with Covid. It was very expensive to get new flights to return home, and our trip was delayed in Romania due to having to isolate for days. I was very concerned about the additional expenses, but thankfully, we had excellent travel insurance. We had purchased Detour@the edge. The customer service representatives were very kind and understanding. They helped me navigagate the claim process for trip interruption and trip delay with confidence and ease. I received the first payment in a timely matter, and then upon discussing other expenses I had incurred, I filed a second part to the claim. received the final checks for my husband and myself today. I am so happy that we have purchased the same coverage with the same company for our next big international trip. I give this company 20 stars.

    Question - we had to cancel trip due to family issues, is there a way to use the money towards another policy?

    Great coverage. I had total confidence, even though I did not have to use the insurance in the end.

    Customer service rep was most helpful with options that I may have to consider in cancelling the trip or proceeding with trip and seek a pro-rata refund, due to father-in-law being placed in hospice care. CSR was most understanding and empathetic and was appreciated. Fortunately we were able to complete our trip.
