We did not have any issues that needed assistance from your company, but it was good to know it was there.

It was impossible to print the info. Representative said that the printed material
would be mailed to me. Very nice, but it did
not arrive before my departure. I do have it now and will file it for future reference.

I did not have to rely on my plan, but it was a close call when my husband became temporarily unable to walk (but resolved prior to the trip). A story from our local newspaper reported that a travel insurer denied a claim because the insured did not buy coverage for the entire amount expended on his trip. This raises an issue, because there is pressure to buy the insurance within a certain time period after making the first payment for the trip. At that point, not all the expenses are known. I estimated our total trip cost for the purpose of buying insurance, but this might not have been sufficient had we needed to make a claim. We did not know the total amount until close to the time of the trip, as we visited a number of places over a month, and were still making hotel reservations just prior to departure. It's an issue I will clarify before I purchase another policy.

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.Aug 22,2012-

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.Aug 22,2012

I did not file a claim so do not know about your response in time of need. I can say that the information provided pre-trip and the written documentation I received were very adequate. The price was competitive for the coverage I wanted.
