The compassionate care you gave me in the handling of my need, in my hour of need, was exemplary! We never felt like we were merely a case number — we felt the sincerity of your heartfelt response, as I shared my heart with you, both by phone and by e-mail correspondence.

Thanks for all the help and continued support you have provided. Although one hopes never to use travel insurance, you were a god-send throughout our ordeal. We couldn’t have done it without your continued assistance. Thanks again for everything.

I was unlucky enough to fall ill while abroad & filed two claims with IMG; I was quite pleased at how easy and straight-forward this process was. My claims were processed quickly and without loads of red-tape. The representatives I spoke with were polite and helpful, as well.
