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
I was very pleased to have the piece of mind with this plan. Fortunately I did not have to use it, but anticipate other trips this year so will not have to search for coverage again.

GeoBlue Trekker Essential
My husband died suddenly while we were vacationing in Costa Rica. I called GeoBlue and they were MOST helpful every step of the way. They assisted with the transport of the body to the funeral home, made all the arrangements necessary for them. GeoBlue also provided a name at the US Embassy as my contact person who took care of the death certificate and the mortuary passport for the remains to be brought back to the United States. I do not believe I could have done all of this without the help and support of GeoBlue and have recommended them to all my family and friends.

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.
