Global Alert! Preferred
The main reason we bought this plan was because it covered changes in work. We have had many trips cancelled due to work beyond our control and global alert was one of the few plans that covered it.

Staff that handled the purchase of the plan were helpful and pleasant. I did not have to use the insurance but when my 90 mother was hospitalized during the vacation it took a great deal of concern away to know that some of the costs of the trip would be reimbursed if I needed to return home.

I thought your group provided great service. The broker was able to review the policy options and different coverages with me. I am in the insurance industry and thought the service was excellent.

During the trip, I required a visit to an ER in Italy - simply showing the email from the plan covered all of the costs of the visit - it could not have been easier.

    There is no cost for health care in Italy. I'm curious what your plan paid for??

We had to file a claim. Turns out it was through a third party. We had mixed experiences with various representatives - a couple were understanding and helpful, a couple seemed completely disinterested in assisting and several average. The claim process seemed harder to get through than the two other companies I have had to file claims through in the past - but it might have been my personal difficulties causing me to see this particular claim as onerous. However, there were multiple phone calls - something not necessary with earlier claims. Ultimately, the claim was fully paid, everything we thought was covered was, but the need to have to make multiple phone calls would make me hesitate to use the company again.

I'm grateful that I did not have to use the coverage, so I cannot comment on whether the company was good or not. (Which might be one of the more important considerations). I always choose carefully to ensure the plan will adequately cover things that are most important to me. This plan had it all and gave me peace of mind.

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