No one knows the quality of insurance until a claim is made but this gave me peace of mind knowing that if I needed to be evacuated this company has the knowledge to handle it.

Thankfully, I didn't need to use the plan - so I can't speak to services in the event of an emergency - but I felt much better having it. [I was encouraged by hearing of an association with an insurer of the caliber of Lloyd's of London (although I admit having little or no knowledge of the nature of the association).] I did some comparison shopping before choosing MedJet. Medjet was the only provider I found that allowed evacuation for a bonafide medical emergency at the discretion of the customer as opposed to the opinion of a local medical authority; this was very important to me. I was also happy to be able to add a rider to cover political events, weather catastrophes, etc., for a very reasonable cost. The availability of a short term plan made the price affordable for me and Medjet allowed me to extend my coverage for the full 8 day term even though my trip ended on the 6th day. Again, this was important to me to cover the possibility that I might be delayed a day or two by seeking immediate treatment or by travel delays prior to any need for the service (although such events may have been covered anyway - I didn't inquire further because there was no charge for this extension within my 8 day term). I was quite satisfied with the plan. If I traveled more outside the U. S., particularly to areas where I would not want to have an extended stay for medical services or where there could be political unrest, or anti-American sentiment under the current administration, etc., I would sign up for an annual membership.

I liked being able to select the particular coverages important to me rather than a full tray of unneeded coverages.
