We did not need to use our insurance however a woman in our our group had a stroke while in Portugal and had to be hospitalized, etc. I do not know who her insurer was but feel that if this had happened to me or my wife we would have been well taken care of by our Global Alert insurance plan.

The claim took two months to reach a settlement. I had to call Trip Mate several times in order to get a status of the claim. The online claim status function did not provide any pertinent information. Trip Mate did not do anything with the claim for the first 30 days. The claim should have been resolved in a couple of weeks or less since I had submitted 15 documents supporting my claim. The claim was finally resolved and I did receive full payment but it took too long too finalize and was very stressful for me.

    On behalf of Global Alert, we apologize for any stress that you may have felt due to the lengthy claims process. Generally Trip Mate, who handled your claim on behalf of Global Alert, does usually have a 30 day turnaround time. Unfortunately Trip Mate experienced a much higher volume of claims than anticipated after the damage inflicted by Hurricanes Irma, Jose and Maria which significantly slowed down the processing time.

    We certainly appreciate your review and will bring your comments to the company's attention. However, if you do have any further questions or comments, please feel free to call Customer Care at InsureMyTrip (800) 487-4722.

I find it very hard to judge a plan until something happens-then you find out really how good/bad the plan and the company behind it is. I chose the plan but gratefully did not have to use it.

Since I am an older traveler I am most concerned with medical options while on international trips. Trip delay and things like that are not as important to me so I make sure to get a good policy with as much medical coverage as possible. There is always a good plan that covers my needs for where I'm going.
