Purchased THROUGH InsureMyTrip.com???

[forevercruising1]

Hello, all!

I've decided on the travel insurance policy I want, but I have one additional question:

Have any of you actually bought the policy FROM/THROUGH insuremytrip.com? Or, do you usually go to the actual insuring company to purchase the policy?

I ask because insuremytrip.com is offering the policy for $30 less than the insuring company's website.

Also, for those who have purchased from insuremytrip.com, do you only deal with them for policy management, or can you still call the insuring company direct for policy management?

I'm hoping purchasing through insuremytrip.com is safe and dependable.

Any info. about purchasing through their website would be appreciated.

Thanks, in advance!

You have posted this exact same question on 2 separate threads. I already answered on the other thread.

Yes, I have. I'm sorry if my second post has bothered you.

One post is on a thread that has been ongoing for a while and that has many respondents that are following the thread. Since they have been responding regarding trip insurance, that was a logical place to post my follow-up questions, in hopes that they might respond.

I began a new thread with my same question for those new readers who would never see the other thread, hence, never read my new questions.

In the hopes of getting the most accurate responses, I felt that it would be practical to ask my questions in both places.

Thanks, though, for your prompt replies.

I am guessing that since insuremytrip.com is acting like a broker that they get a better rate and/or share their commission with the purchaser. I have always gone through insuremytrip and then received correspondence directly from the insurance company. (Generally Travelex, as their coverage meets our needs.)

I was simply letting you know I had answered you on the other thread in case you would be looking for replies here.

Jim,
Do you actualy get a policy via snail mail? I can't remember if we did before but I think we did. I purchased from Travelex on 1/19/05 and thinking I should have goten my policy by now.
