TRAVELEX paid a $650 medical claim immediately. Got a sore throat and cold on a cruise ship in Asia. TRAVELEX not only paid the medical bill, but also reimbursed me for a $160 shore excursion I missed. They could not have been nicer or more efficient. We travel a lot and always use them. You should too.

Allianz Global Assistance Travel Insurance review
We bought travel insurance prior to a 6 week trip to Indonesia. We are Sr citizens (age 71 and 68). During our time in Bali my husband had to go to the hospital. We filed our claim upon return 5/24. We received our reimbusement within 2 weeks for our medical expenses. I am so grateful we decided to buy travel insurance and I definitely would recommend Alliance.

Travelex Travel Insurance review
Could you confirm we have travel insurance? Primary traveler is Jacqueline Yockey and confirmation is TTB482470. Ten travelers total. Have we paid in full? Can we add on any additional travelers from Kentucky? How about from out of state? Our group consists of about 50 passengers going on the same tour but from different states. Thank you in advance, Jacqueline Yockey
