I was really impressed with their service. I even flew back in first class. I would really recommend TripCovered Travel Insurance to be the insurer of choice when travelling. I know it's a cliche, but an accident can happen so fast.
The assistance company looked after us really well and reassured me that all would be fine. I think it is essential to have travel insurance especially if one is in a country where the medical care is questionable. If we didn't have that option our baby wouldn't have survived.
