Thank goodness I did not need to file a claim. So, I am not sure how well the coverage would actually have worked.

It was great to be able to choose just what is needed rather than a policy that covers area already covered by our existing insurance.

I did not have to make any claims so it is difficult to determine how this insurance would have come through for me, but the plan suited my needs.

I did not get to use the coverage, however, I was very satisfied with the coverage and pricing especially regarding recreational scuba diving. Contacting them by phone was also very easy and friendly as well as professional to clarify coverage for recreational diving. As mentioned I did not have a claim so I can not comment on how well a claim might be handled.

Since I didn't need to use the insurance, I have no feedback to provide. It was definitely expensive but was a requirement for the trip I went on.

Happily, we had no claim this trip...we are repeat customers and just feel safer when we have the travel insurance. We believe that if you can't afford the travel insurance, you can't afford your trip.

Although i came down with diarehea i self medicated since i felt using the plan would have been more complicated. Nonetheless, having the plan gave me peace of mind in case i would have suffered a more serious medical need. In the end, though, it is hard for me to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the plan other than to say that the premium for the services that i selected seemed more reasonable than those of several other plans that i had examined.

I had a very difficult time speaking with a person at Global Alert--I'd call and wait on hold for 12 mintues and then be routed to a message machine. I left several messages that were not. Eventually, I did make contact, and my questions were answered. Global Alert then paid only 2/3 of the expenses I submitted. I had 3 week-long tours scheduled one after the other. The trip was interrupted early on--I had to come home and missed the first two tours, but was able to rejoin the 3rd one. Global Alert paid for the return airfare and the two cancelled tours, but denied coverage for the outbound airfare to join the 3rd tour, claiming that once I returned home, my coverage ended.
