to use, provides answers to the important questions, and is backed up by the toll free phone line. It definitely makes shopping for a complicated product easier. Our policy arrived in the mail and was correct in every regard - just as requested. Thanks! - Cynthia C., Portland, OR
In the last 2 years I have taken out about 8-10 policies thru you because your group is a class act. Sincerely, Stan S., Dacula, GA
Please do modify our policy as you suggested. This is quite a surprise to us, in the past we've used other online companies and no recommendations to change our insurance were ever made. Kudos to you and your company. You really do offer great service plus advice, a real leap ahead of other companies and all online insurance companies that we've used in the past. Many Thanks! Regards, John C., Novato, CA
Before I found Trip Insurance Store.com I was bouncing back and forth between web sites trying to sort out the pros, cons, & details of the different companies & policies. I found your 'side by side' comparisons very helpful and easy to understand. It made it much easier to make what I believe was a intelligent choice that I feel comfortable with. When you can compare apples to apples (side by side), it's easy to see that there are significant differences between the various companies and policies being sold. Because there is so much deceptive and 'slight of hand' marketing out there, your recommendations of reputable and trusted policy issuers was comforting. Mark C., Urbana, IL
