Since we didn't have to use the plan, I can't review how helpful it was. But I did think the price was reasonable, the service was great, and it seemed very professional. Just knowing that we had this evacuation only plan was comforting, as we were climbing over rocky terrain (big boulders) and one misstep could result in a bad ankle or shoulder, or worse. We were in the Galapagos, where rescue operations could be very costly, and I would recommend some kind of plan for anyone traveling there. But, as I said .... we never had to use it, and that's where the proof of the pudding lies.

The customer service was fantastic prior to my purchase. This was the first time I ever flew this far from home. Needless to say I had many questions and concerns. Every time I called they more more then helpful, spending as much time with me as I needed. They never tried to up sell me and in fact told me about the plan I needed which was 2 to 3 times less than what I was thinking. Very good customer service.

Since I fortunately didn't have to use it, it would be difficult to assess it.
The input of people who actually had to use it would be much more factual and valuable.
For the money, it bought me peace of mind.

I got this insurance for myself and my daughter at the last minute after speaking with a pediatric nurse who flies to other countries to pick up children and bring them to the US for treatment. She told me how expensive it was to be medically transported. My own insurance would reimburse for basic medical emergency treatment, but not transport. For the price it was well worth the peace of mind.

It was good to be able to purchase a medical evacuation policy without the necessity of buying more than I needed. I am willing to risk the cost of the trip, but fear being stuck in a hospital with a language barrier.

I would suggest a friend get trip cancellation and medical transportation insurance if they can afford to.

Fortunately we didn't need to use our plan, although we referred to it several times on our trip, especially when jumping out of the way of fast-moving cars and speedy bicycles! Both my travel partner and I (we are 65 years old) felt a real sense of comfort knowing we potentially had coverage in the event of an accident.

Luckily, I didn't have to use this insurance. I particularly liked the advance payment feature in case of hospitalization.

It was nice to know I had this plan and was glad I did not need to use it. I have renewed for another year. I hope I don't need it this year.

I didn't file a claim, but the peace of mind was worth the price, especially when traveling to Zimbabwe.
