Reviews and Testimonials
I had to cancel a trip at the very last minute due to a back injury. The claims department walked me through the process and eased my mind while getting my paperwork in order. I easily submitted the claim online and was told it would be four weeks for a decision. Hardly a week had gone by before I had a notification that the claim would be paid, and the funds showed up a few days later. My wife and I are very pleased with how helpful the claims reps were and how easy the online process was. We will be sure to use you again in the future!
