Travel Insurance Reviews GeoBlue Trekker Essential

The GeoBlue Trekker Essential is a multi-trip Medical plan which offers emergency medical coverage while you are traveling abroad. This plan covers trips up to 70 days in length (per trip) that you will be taking outside the country during the year. The Trekker Essential plan does require you to have primary health insurance in place, but there is no exclusion for pre-existing conditions. This plan has lower limits than the Trekker Choice plan.

GeoBlue Trekker Essential
since i have not needed to file a claim, my main happiness with this policy is the reputation of the provider blue cross and the coverage provided - for less than $120 usd per person for a year coverage. we have 3 trips planned so this is $40 per person per trip. yes it is only medical but look at what you get for $40 from other trip insurance companies. my bags and the cost of my non refundable tickets are covered by my credit card but not a $100k usd med evac or $50k non usa doc. i sleep better at night with this coverage.

A must have for frequent travelers. The Trekker plan is a fantastic deal. They paid my ship's medical bills 3 times with no fuss (including one visit to a dentist).

All I can say is that it covered everything I needed, it was very inexpensive, and it was administratively simple to secure the coverage.

This plan is a year-long plan, and this was our first trip. The peace of mind knowing we were covered if something happened was invaluable.

Peace of mind from the huge expense for medical evacuation is wonderful. Years ago it cost a year's salary to bring a friend back from Grenada, so this is a small price to pay.

I can not say how satisfied I am with the plan until I have the need to file a claim. In that event I will be able to judge whether the plan delivers what I expect it will.
