Travel Insurance

[momof3luvs2run]

Looking for opinions on travel insurance. Are there cheaper options for travel insurance other than going through Disney or a TA?

Do most of you purchase travel insurance?

 

[Mr. Bill]

I purchased the insurance through my TA. I think it was about $100.00 for the two of us.

You might want to check with your regular insurance agent. If you have your homeowner's, auto and life with the same agency, there might be a "deal" to be had. I didn't think of that until after I had purchased.

I would not travel without it ... especially since I had a non-relative child traveling with me.

We went thru insuremytrip.com and selected Travelex's insurance. we're paying under $200 for $500,000 worth of medical/evac. Fees plus all the regular trip cancelation stuff for a family of 4. Through Disney we would have paid almost $300 for only $50,000.

The insurance company DCL uses is Access America. They do sell policies directly for less money. For us, since we book our own air, and plan to visit WDW before the cruise, we will probably buy the insurance directly from AA so that all our expenses are covered.

AA is very easy to work with. On our last cruise, my DH and DD were very ill with a stomach virus and were quarantined for a couple of days. AA reimbursed us for everything we asked for in a very timely manner (whole thing was taken care of within 6 weeks), with no hassle at all.

I have to agree about Access America. My son was quarantined too, and they reimbursed us quickly ( in addition to Disney Cruise Line sending us a voucher for $$$ off a future cruise). I was very happy with them and wouldn't use another company..
