Travel Insurance Reviews Travel Medical Plans
Most regular health insurance plans provide only partial or no coverage while you are traveling in another country. We offer several types of Travel Medical plans providing a range of benefits, such as medical coverage for pre-existing conditions, multi-trip and renewable protection, emergency medical evacuation, and coverage for long-term travel.
To learn more, see our Travel Medical Plans article.

Traveling during COVID is more complex than ever before. This plan gave me the peace of mind I needed to travel abroad at a very reasonable cost.

The policy seems to provide good gap coverage. But since there was no claim, I could not determine if any resolution would essentially be painless.

When traveling abroad, it is essential to have insurance for medical expenses or medical evacuation, which are not covered by Medicare and most health insurance. On a trip to Turkey, a woman in our group had appendicitis. She did not have travel insurance. She had only Medicare and a secondary health insurance plan, neither of which covered any expenses outside the U.S. She could not afford to pay for an air ambulance to have surgery back in the U.S. So she had surgery in Istanbul. Her adult daughter stayed with her, and paid out of pocket hotel room and restaurant meals while her mother was in the hospital. They had to pay up front for her medical care and hospitalization. Presumably they had to pay a high airfare home when she was well enough to travel. I always buy travel insurance. My credit card (co-branded with an airline's frequent flyer program) covers trip cancellation and interruption when I charge flights, hotels, cruises, etc. to that card (even if it's a different airline). However, that credit card does not cover medical treatments, hospitalization, or evacuation to the U.S. in case of illness or accident. This AIG Travel Guard MedEvac Plan is very reasonably priced and covers that gap including expenses for a traveling companion. Thankfully my companion and I have not needed medical treatment while traveling, but having this coverage gives us peace of mind.

One never knows about these plans until one has a claim. We had no issues, but we felt good knowing that there was coverage behind us.

We just needed medical coverage for our trip to Europe. AIG Travel had exactly what we needed, and so easy to obtain. Thank you.

Without having made a claim it is difficult to evaluate anything but price for coverage. I have used Insure my trip before and have always been satisfied. Thankfully, I have never filed a claim.

I already have. If you can afford to take a trip "across the pond", you can afford to insure for things that might "go bad". We chose the evacuation insurance, because it is really expensive to have to fly back suddenly due to unforeseen circumstances. Happily we did not need to make a claim, but we knew we would be protected if we did.
