We ended up not needing to use the insurance. Our experience was excellent. Using the online chat, a representative took his time explaining the different definitions and triggering events of different policies. Helped me feel confident I was getting the one that covered the events I was concerned about. Will use them again on my next trip.

If you don't have a need to file a claim, this insurance policy is probably fine. If you're unlucky enough to have to file a claim, as we were, be prepared for an expensive and lengthy battle (7 months, in our case), and likely the involvement of an attorney, to get the insurance carrier to pay the policy benefits for which you've paid a very expensive premium. My recommendation: stay away from this insurance carrier at all costs!

    We have confirmed with Global Alert that the benefit was paid per the provisions of the policy. We are sorry for your loss.

      Debra, you are correct that the benefits were eventually paid. However, it took 7 months and about $2,000 in attorney's fees to get the insurer to read its own policy and pay accordingly. I believe that my review of this company is fair and accurate.

We didn't need it, so it's difficult for me to review it.

I spent a lot of time reviewing available travel insurance companies and plan before choosing global alert. Global alert had the plan with the best fit for me at competitive pricing. One recommendation I would make is to provide clearer information on what to do if you are in a foreign country and need to contact an agent - the underwriting isn't organized very well in the plan. It would also be helpful to describe in detail what responsibilities the traveler has if on a cruise - I found out later that the cruise medical staff actually has the right to make decisions about your care in an emergency, so I may not have been able to follow the procedures in the plan anyway. I would also have liked to have some email communication with travel health tips. Overall, I thankfully did not have to use the plan and was satisfied with the terms and knowing I would have coverage if I needed it.

Luckily, we did not have any need, as all went as planned for our trip, however, it is comforting to know we are insured !
