Since we did not actually have a need to use the plan, it is hard to review, but based on price and coverage, we were satisfied.

Fortunately, I did not have to use the insurance. It was a comfort to know that I had it in case of an emergency. Just like car and house insurance, you hope you never have to use it.

I've used your service twice now and it's been easy and smooth.

If I get to travel overseas again, I'll use your service again!

The plan was just right for what I needed. The cost was affordable and it gave me peace of mind while abroad. Luckily I did not have a claim and cannot comment on that side of service.

I had a medical problem which prevented me from going on my vacation. When I called Global to cancel my plan I was told I had to cancel within two weeks of my signing up. I called over a month before my trip and was shocked by the refusal to cancel my trip insurance since I was not going on my trip and would not file a claim. This is bad customer relations and I will find another trip insurer in the future.

Global Alert! Preferred
After I bought the plan, I realized that the coverage limits were too low, but all in all, I was very satisfied with the price. I didn't have to file a claim (fortunately), which would have been the real proof of the policy's workability. The representatives I spoke with on the phone were extremely helpful and polite and I was impressed by that.

I had taken another insurance prior to Global Alert and once I found out about Global Alert with his coverage and good price, I cancelled my other insurance and took Global Alert.
