If you don't have a need to file a claim, this insurance policy is probably fine. If you're unlucky enough to have to file a claim, as we were, be prepared for an expensive and lengthy battle (7 months, in our case), and likely the involvement of an attorney, to get the insurance carrier to pay the policy benefits for which you've paid a very expensive premium. My recommendation: stay away from this insurance carrier at all costs!

    We have confirmed with Global Alert that the benefit was paid per the provisions of the policy. We are sorry for your loss.

      Debra, you are correct that the benefits were eventually paid. However, it took 7 months and about $2,000 in attorney's fees to get the insurer to read its own policy and pay accordingly. I believe that my review of this company is fair and accurate.

Global Alert! Preferred Plus
I read global travel protection plus plan and they offer more on trip interruption than you.. Your limit is $150 for 5 day for companion that must stay at hotel, etc.. up to $750.00. Global has $150 up to $1,000 limit. I did not think that i would be using your plan.. On-Call did a very good job of getting the evacuation-Helping us during this accident to get the air logistics to return to the USA. We needed a nurse and they set up everything. I could not be more happy with the benefits that your program offers.
