We could not have been more pleased with our claim results. We had a family death in December and today we received a Full Refund for our claim. Thank you for responding as you did and we will use your insurance again.

Since we had no reason to file a claim, the policy and ease of purchase was excellent!

I was impressed with how quickly the claim was resolved. Took a lot of the stress out of the delays knowing we had coverage. Thank you.

Global Alert! Preferred
We had to cancel 2-3 weeks prior to leaving for our 2 week cruise due to a medical event. When I called to find out what I needed to do, the representative was very kind and patient and provided me clear directions over the phone and then emailed the packet to me. I didn't deal with it for about 3 weeks. I finally put the information together; copies of credit card receipts and invoices and submitted via email. They have an online system where you can track the status of your claim. I received the refund we expected in about 3 weeks.

I tried to cancel this insurance before my trip. However, every time someone called me to respond, they thought I was trying to file a claim. After the 3rd phone call, they said they would email a claim form to me, but I never got it. I consider that I was very lucky we did not need to make a claim.

    Thank you for your review and feedback. I apologize for the difficulties you experienced when contacting Global Alert. I see that we contacted Global Alert on your behalf. It appears there was confusion surrounding the request to cancel the policy as you were still continuing on with your trip. Again, my apologies for the difficulties, and please remember we are available seven days a week to assist you with any questions or concerns.

The customer service rep we spoke to was terrific! She was knowledgeable and offered all ranges of coverage without pressure.

Fortunately, we didn't have any travel issues but glad we had Global Alert coverage in the event our travels were interrupted. It was added peace of mind and we had a great trip without worry.

Thanks for your great service!

I have no complaints. Thank goodness we didn't have to use this, so it is hard to really write a review on something we didn't use.

Purchased the plan mainly for it's specific language for cancellation of a condominium rental in the event of a hurricane. It also provided for refund if we were forced to evacuate due to hurricane situation. Thankfully the Atlantic Hurricane season has been slow and it was unnecessary.
