“Working with Travel Guard could not have been a better experience at a very stressful time.”

My husband and I took a two-week Caribbean cruise. During the second week, he developed severe bronchitis and was treated for four days in the ship’s clinic. We called our daughter (back at home), who immediately contacted Travel Guard on our behalf to start the claims process--which was seamless.  After we returned home, I submitted all bills for which we were reimbursed very quickly. There was absolutely no aggravation. Working with Travel Guard could not have been a better experience at a very stressful time. As a result, we have purchased Travel Guard three times since and will continue to be loyal customers. The peace of mind gained by being a Travel Guard customer cannot be overstated. Travel Guard exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Travel Guard!

We’ve used Travel Guard for all of our overseas trips for the past five years – and because of the people we interact with at Travel Guard – we will continue to use them for future trips. To a person – and consistently –  they have been positive, friendly, patient, professional and extremely helpful in making sure we have the right coverages for the type of trips we’re taking. We’ve never processed a claim but I would imagine the folks in that area are of similar caliber. The peace of mind of having the coverage has substantially reduced the apprehensions associated with global travel.
