Global Alert! Preferred
I purchased the plan to cover my entire trip. I had 6 days on my own and a tour for 6 days. I tried to cancel the tour ( it was a hiking trip and I had unexpected knee surgery) and was told only the entire trip could be cancelled. I did not wish to, nor did I need to, cancel the entire vacation. Instead I wasted my money on a tour I could not and did not enjoy or utilize. Terms should be made much clearer before purchase.

I had no claims so I am totally unable to rate how good or bad the coverage is/was or my satisfaction with the coverage. The test is how well they respond to a claim.

Fortunately, we did not have to process a claim, so I can't rate the plan accurately. The representative who worked with me and helped with insurance choices was very good, and the coverage seemed accurate for our trip.

Was fortunate not to need to use the coverage so I don't know how well a claim would be processed.

I could have used my own medical plan for Alaska. I was only out of the country 2 days and someone should have recommended something cheaper. It was too costly for what I needed. Now I know differently.

    Thank you very much for your feedback. While it is true your primary health care provider may have been able to provide coverage during the U.S. portion of your trip, the Global Alert Preferred plan you purchased is a comprehensive package plan that offers much more than medical care and provides you coverage from the moment you leave your home until the moment you return back to your home. The Global Alert Preferred policy offers Trip Cancellation, Trip Interruption, Baggage Loss, Baggage Delay, Travel Delay, Emergency Medical, Emergency Medical Evacuation, Financial Default, and a Pre-Existing Condition Waiver. Additionally, premium is typically within the range of 4-10% of the trip cost and is determined by the following factors: the length of the trip, the cost of the trip, and the ages of the travelers. For future purchases or for additional questions regarding comprehensive coverage, please feel free to contact our office at 800-487-4722 where our licensed representatives would be happy to assist you.

    Thank you for your review. All feedback is greatly appreciated.

    We do get many comments on the cost of travel insurance. All Comprehensive Plan premiums, including Global Alert, base their premium on the age of the traveler, trip cost and length of trip. Although your premium may appear high, you actually selected one of our most competitively priced plans that include high medical limits.

    Please note that insureMyTrip always welcome your inquiries. If you would like our assistance when quoting, you should call us at 800-487-4722.
