Make sure you get your dates correct when purchasing a plan. If you make a mistake you cannot adjust then dates. I would think there should be a way make changes before you leave without having to cancel the plan and start over. You have 10 days after purchase to cancel, but no way to adjust dates. Not very user friendly in my opinion.

Easy and affordable. Hopefully, crossing all my fingers it will NOT be used. Thankfully, they are there to help when misfortune happens. Several years ago, my youngest son needed them. They responded quickly and was very helpful in getting him what he needed in an emergency. Will use them again.
